Proving a negative; estimating species 'Confidence in Absence for Decision-Making' (CIADM) using environmental DNA monitoring

N. P. Griffiths, B. Hänfling, M. Cattaneo, R. M. Wright, J. A. Macarthur, S. Peixoto, J. D. Bolland

This paper introduces a framework to estimate confidence in absence (CIADM) for priority species using environmental DNA data, showing that increased replication improves confidence in absence assessments.

Macrophage Xanthine Oxidoreductase Links LPS Induced Lung Inflammatory Injury to NLRP3 Inflammasome Expression and Mitochondrial Respiration

M. A. Fini, J. A. Monks, M. Li, E. Gerasimovskaya, P. Paucek, K. Wang, M. G. Frid, S. C. Pugliese, D. Bratton, Y.-R. Yu, D. Irwin, M. Karin, R. M. Wright, K. R. Stenmark

This study shows that macrophage-specific Xanthine Oxidoreductase (XOR) exacerbates LPS-induced lung injury by promoting NLRP3 inflammasome expression and glycolytic metabolism in inflammatory macrophages.

Integrating environmental DNA monitoring to inform eel (Anguilla anguilla) status in freshwaters at their easternmost range - A case study in Cyprus

N. P. Griffiths, R. M. Wright, B. Hänfling, J. D. Bolland, K. Drakou, G. S. Sellers, S. Zogaris, I. Tziortzis, G. Dörflinger, M. I. Vasquez

This study uses environmental DNA and electrofishing data to show eels are widespread but restricted to lowland areas in Cyprus, highlighting the need for improved connectivity in freshwater systems.

MicroRNA-like snoRNA-derived RNAs (sdRNAs) promote castration resistant prostate cancer

A. B. Coley, A. N. Stahly, M. V. Kasukurthi, A. A. Barchie, S. B. Hutcheson, D. Houserova, Y. Huang, B. C. Watters, V. M. King, M. A. Dean, J. T. Roberts, J. D. DeMeis, C. H. McInnis, N. L. Godang, R. M. Wright, , G. M. Borchert

This study identifies two snoRNA-derived fragments, sdRNA-D19b and sdRNA-A24, that promote castration-resistant prostate cancer by downregulating tumor suppressors and conferring drug resistance.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding provides enhanced detection of the European eel Anguilla anguilla and fish community structure in pumped river catchments

N. P. Griffiths, J. D. Bolland, R. M. Wright, L. A. Murphy, R. K. Donnelly, H. V. Watson, B. Hänfling

This study compares eDNA metabarcoding and traditional methods for detecting eels and fish communities in pumped river catchments, finding eDNA provides higher sensitivity and species richness detection.

Eukaryotic plankton community stability across reef environments in Bocas del Toro Archipelago (Panama)

A. M. Rodas, L. K. Buie, H. E. Aichelman, K. D. Castillo, R. M. Wright, S. W. Davies

The paper examines eukaryotic plankton community stability across reef environments in Bocas del Toro Archipelago, finding that environmental differences do not correlate with community structure, but diel variation and migration do.

Symbiont community diversity is more constrained in holobionts that tolerate diverse stressors

L. Howe-Kerr, B. Bachelot, R. M. Wright, C. D. Kenkel, L. K. Bay, A. M. S. Correa

The paper examines how symbiont community diversity relates to stress tolerance in coral genets, finding that best performers host more Cladocopium 3k and worst performers show higher symbiont diversity.

Positive genetic associations among fitness traits support evolvability of a reef-building coral under multiple stressors

R. M. Wright, H. Mera, C. D. Kenkel, M. Nayfa, L. K. Bay, M. V. Matz

This study shows that positive genetic correlations among fitness traits in corals suggest they can adapt to multiple stressors simultaneously.
