This issue contains the latest methods in ecology and evolution. Read to find out about this month’s featured articles and the article behind our cover! Featured The fallacy of single imputation for trait databases: Use multiple imputation instead The past few years have seen the publication of many new trait databases. However, trait databases usually have many missing data. Biologists have developed several methods to impute missing values, allowing ordinary statistical procedures to be used in analyses and the use of only complete cases, with a concomitant loss of power and accuracy, can be avoided. Often, biologists use simulation to test…

An innovative study spearheaded by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg has unveiled the significant capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This study highlights the complexities of genetic data and how bacterial gene transfers can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains. The findings are particularly pertinent given the increasing global threat posed by antibiotic resistance, which poses severe challenges to public health. Antibiotic resistance constitutes one of the most pressing health concerns, as stated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent…

In an era where advances in genetics are rapidly transforming the landscape of reproductive choices, a collaborative research project named Tinker Tots emerges from the University of Oxford, the University of Exeter, and the National University of Singapore Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. This innovative endeavor aims to delve into the ethical quagmire that surrounds embryo selection in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Through an engaging and interactive platform, the study seeks to illuminate how individuals navigate complex decisions regarding potential health conditions and desirable traits when faced with the selection of embryos, while offering participants a unique opportunity to…

Newsletter Signup – Under Article / In Page”*” indicates required fields Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 55 million people worldwide — a number expected to nearly triple by 2050. Despite decades of research and billions invested, Alzheimer’s remains without a cure, and even treatments that slow its progression are rare.The consequences are big, both human and economic. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just rob people of their memories — it gradually strips away independence, personality, and eventually life. The global cost of the disease is expected to reach $1.7 to $2.8 trillion by 2030.For years, the main approach has been clearing amyloid plaques…

Beekeeping in the United States is facing an unprecedented crisis, as beekeepers report losses exceeding fifty-five percent of managed colonies—an all-time high since tracking began in 2011. This staggering figure has raised alarms within the agricultural community, necessitating immediate attention to the health and sustainability of honey bee populations. Recent research conducted by scientists at the University of Vermont has spotlighted an innovative approach to enhancing honey bee resilience through a method aimed at breeding colonies that exhibit superior disease resistance. The mounting evidence of severe bee losses is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities facing this critical species. Samantha…

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial cellular organelle responsible for protein synthesis, folding, and quality control. This system ensures that proteins attain their required three-dimensional conformations necessary for effective cellular functionality. Misfolded or improperly synthesized proteins can lead to a state of ER stress, triggering various cellular responses, including the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Initially, the UPR acts as an adaptive mechanism, attempting to restore cellular homeostasis. However, prolonged ER stress can result in maladaptive responses, leading to cell death, which raises significant concerns regarding its implications in metabolic diseases. Recent research led by an esteemed…

Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a critical clinical challenge within emergency medicine, often presenting as an urgent diagnostic dilemma. A recently published article in the esteemed journal Academic Emergency Medicine has cast new light on the application of D-dimer testing, particularly among patients exhibiting a high clinical probability of PE. This study scrutinizes the reliability of D-dimer tests, primarily aimed at improving clinical decision-making processes in emergency departments. The investigation, led by Dr. Héloïse Bannelier and her team, is a meticulous post hoc analysis that brings together data from three significant European studies: PROPER, MODIGLIANI, and TRYSPEED. Each of these studies…
