    Gaps in global wildlife trade monitoring leave amphibians vulnerable

    Alice C Hughes, Benjamin Michael Marshall, Colin T Strine
    Almost 98% of amphibian species have no regulation on their international trade, yet as 17% (1215 species) are in trade with 45% of individuals coming from the wild, including 445 Endangered/Data Deficient species, this poses a risk to species survival.

    Environment as a limiting factor of the historical global spread of mungbean

    Pei-Wen Ong, Ya-Ping Lin ... Cheng-Ruei Lee
    After domestication, the cultivation range expansion of crops was not solely dictated by human activity but instead constrained by climatic factors, which in turn resulted in distinct phenotypic characteristics of locally adaptive landraces.

    An international observational study to assess the impact of the Omicron variant emergence on the clinical epidemiology of COVID-19 in hospitalised patients

    Bronner P Gonçalves, Matthew Hall ... ISARIC Clinical Characterisation Group
    Combined analyses of publicly available population-level variant data and detailed individual-level clinical data can be used to quantify the clinical impact of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in different settings.

    Genomic basis for drought resistance in European beech forests threatened by climate change

    Markus Pfenninger, Friederike Reuss ... Barbara Feldmeyer
    European beech harbours substantial genetic variation at genomic loci associated with drought resistance and newly identified loci can help to accelerate and monitor adaptation to climate change.

    Modelling the climatic suitability of Chagas disease vectors on a global scale

    Fanny E Eberhard, Sarah Cunze ... Sven Klimpel
    The global ensemble forecasting niche modelling of 11 vector competent triatomine species revealed climatic suitable regions outside their native distribution including the cosmopolitan vector Triatoma rubrofasciata.

    Unravelling the history of hepatitis B virus genotypes A and D infection using a full-genome phylogenetic and phylogeographic approach

    Evangelia-Georgia Kostaki, Timokratis Karamitros ... Dimitrios Paraskevis
    Considerable differences are observed in the global dissemination patterns of HBV-D and HBV-A, the genotypes of which have putative origins in North Africa/Middle East (HBV-D) and the Middle East/Central Asia (HBV-A).

    Oxygen isotopes suggest elevated thermometabolism within multiple Permo-Triassic therapsid clades

    Kévin Rey, Romain Amiot ... Christophe Lécuyer
    Two therapsid clades, dicynodonts and cynodonts, independently acquired and developed an endotherm-like thermoregulation during the Late Permian period, that probably helped them to survive the major global climate and environmental fluctuations of the end-Permian.
  1. Author Policy: eLife addresses “parachute science” to support meaningful collaborations

    Promoting inclusion in global research is a step towards creating a more just and equitable future that better supports research and researchers in the Global South.

    Global genome diversity of the Leishmania donovani complex

    Susanne U Franssen, Caroline Durrant ... James A Cotton
    Genomic data for the parasites that cause visceral leishmaniasis provides the first global picture of the diversity and evolution of the pathogen and the epidemiology of this fatal tropical disease.

    Multiple introductions of multidrug-resistant typhoid associated with acute infection and asymptomatic carriage, Kenya

    Samuel Kariuki, Zoe A Dyson ... Gordon Dougan
    Carriage of MDR S. Typhi H58 sublineages that also cause acute disease provides understanding of the transmission dynamics of typhoid fever and maintenance of local pathogen populations in Kenya children.
