Connection between fungal enzyme profile relatedness and phylum taxonomy After genome filtering and prediction of secreted proteins, the secretomes of 465 Dikarya fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) were obtained. From the predicted secretomes, the CUPP method was used to annotate each protein with CAZyme family and corresponding function (EC number), and subsequently create the “Function;Family” CAZyme […] More

Systematics Thylacocephala sensu 21 Concavicarida sensu10 Concavicaris sensu22. Diagnosis “Optic notches generally modest in size, prominently defined, dorsally delineated by a variously developed rostrum, ventrally by variously developed anteroventral processes. Posterior aspect of carapace truncated but gently rounded” (Schram, 201423). Remarks C. submarinus is assigned to the genus Concavicaris based on the following morphological characters: […] More

Updating the GDHY The method and procedure used to provide grid-cell yield estimates for version 1.3 of the GDHY are fully described in our related work1. In short, the procedure consists of four key steps: (1) the country’s annual yield statistics were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations statistical database […] More

Long-term changes in coral skeleton nitrogen isotopes The composite CS-δ15N records for Havannah Island and Pandora Reef (Fig. 2a, b) were significantly and positively correlated (r = 0.56, p < 0.001) during the 143-year period over which they overlapped (i.e. 1863–2005) and their long-term average CS-δ15N values were also similar (6.0 ± 0.7‰ and 5.8 ± 0.6‰, respectively). Shifts in CS-δ15N within each core […] More
