Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation and divergence of plant microRNA genes

TL;DR: The results indicate that many miRNA families are evolutionarily conserved across all major lineages of plants, including mosses, gymnosperms, monocots and eudicots, and that miRNAs are conserved and little phylogenetic signal exists in the presence or absence of these mi RNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The current refugial rainforests of Sundaland are unrepresentative of their biogeographic past and highly vulnerable to disturbance

TL;DR: Examination of evergreen rainforest distribution in the Sunda Shelf region at the last glacial maximum, using a spatially explicit model incorporating geographic, paleoclimatic, and geologic evidence, indicates that at the LGM, Sundaland rainforests covered a substantially larger area than currently present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploiting sparseness in de novo genome assembly

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that constructing a sparse assembly graph which stores only a small fraction of the observed k- mers as nodes and the links between these nodes allows the de novo assembly of even moderately-sized genomes on a typical laptop computer.
