Phylogenetic diversity of NCLDV MAGs To address critical questions regarding the genomic diversity, evolutionary relationships, and virocell metabolism of NCLDVs in the environment, we developed a workflow to generate metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of NCLDVs from publicly-available metagenomic data (see Methods, Supplementary Fig. 1). We surveyed 1545 metagenomes and generated 501 novel NCLDV MAGs from individual samples […] More
Hg isotopes in Late Archean sediments We studied sediments from the lower part of the Upper Nauga Formation, sampled from core GKF01 drilled by the Agouron Institute in the Griqualand West Basin, South Africa24 (SI, Supplementary Fig. 1). The core consists mainly of mudstones and dolostones deposited in a deep water slope environment of the Cambellrand-Malmani […] More

A framework to estimate macroscale species abundance In the following sections, we describe a hierarchical modelling approach that estimates species abundance in discrete geographical units (e.g. grid cells) from spatially replicated multispecies detection–nondetection observations, in combination with various data sources indicating the geographic distribution of species (Fig. 1). A hierarchical model is composed of a series […] More
Our study provides the first record of scavenging crustacean taxa in an area of the Chilean Patagonia that is highly likely to be impacted by several anthropogenic activities. We report a total of 14 taxa, including 7 Decapoda (the 11% of species reported for the whole Patagonian region14). Most decapod taxa were found within the […] More
