Understanding how wildlife responds to the spread of human-dominated habitats is a major challenge in ecology. It is still poorly understood how urban areas affect wildlife space-use patterns and consistent intra-specific behavioural differences (i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex eye disease influenced by both genetic factors and involves a subtype called reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), which increases the risk of severe vision loss.* -
  • A genome-wide association study compared genetic data from individuals with AMD and/or RPD to controls, finding significant associations specifically on chromosome 10, while chromosome 1 did not show this correlation in RPD cases.* -
  • The chromosome 10 region includes a long non-coding RNA related to retinal health, highlighting its potential role in retinal thickness and influencing the outer segment of photoreceptors.*

Time-of-arrival transmitter localization systems, which use measurements from an array of sensors to estimate the location of a radio or acoustic emitter, are now widely used for tracking wildlife. Outlier measurements can severely corrupt estimated locations. This article describes a new suite of location estimation algorithms for such systems.

Many environmental and ecological studies require line of sight (LOS) and/or viewshed analyses. While tools for performing these analyses from digital elevation models (DEMs) are widespread, they are either too restrictive, inaccessible or pricey and difficult to use. This methodological gap is potentially imperative for scholars using solutions like telemetry tracking systems or spatial ecology landscape mapping.
