Sustainability of large language models: user perspective
Pipek, Pavel; Canavan, Shane; Canavan, Susan; Capinha, César; Gippet, Jérôme MW; Novoa, Ana; Pyšek, Petr; Souza, Allan T; Wang, Shengyu; Jarić, IvanLarge language models (LLMs) are becoming an integral part of our daily work. In the field of ecology, LLMs are already being applied to a wide range of tasks, such as extracting georeferenced data or taxonomic entities from unstructured texts, information synthesis, coding, and teaching (Methods Ecol Evol 2024; Npj Biodivers 2024). Further development and increased use of LLMs in ecology, as in science in gene...
Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: an underexplored ...
Heringer, Gustavo; Fernandez, Romina D.; Bang, Alok; Cordonnier, Marion; Novoa, Ana; Lenzner, Bernd; Capinha, César; Renault, David; Roiz, DavidUrbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported by humans beyond their natural biogeographic range that established and are spreading in their introduced range; hereafter, invasive species). These species are recognized as a cause of large e...
Economic costs of invasive alien species across Europe
Haubrock, Phillip J.; Turbelin, Anna J.; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Novoa, Ana; Taylor, Nigel G.; Angulo, Elena; Ballesteros-Mejia, Liliana; Bodey, Thomas W.Biological invasions continue to threaten the stability of ecosystems and societies that are dependent on their services. Whilst the ecological impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) have been widely reported in recent decades, there remains a paucity of information concerning their economic impacts. Europe has strong trade and transport links with the rest of the world, facilitating hundreds of IAS incursions...
Economic costs of invasive alien species in the Mediterranean basin
Kourantidou, Melina; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Haubrock, Phillip J.; Novoa, Ana; Taylor, Nigel G.; Leroy, Boris; Capinha, César; Renault, David; Angulo, ElenaInvasive alien species (IAS) negatively impact the environment and undermine human well-being, often resulting in considerable economic costs. The Mediterranean basin is a culturally, socially and economically diverse region, harbouring many IAS that threaten economic and societal integrity in multiple ways. This paper is the first attempt to collectively quantify the reported economic costs of IAS in the Medit...
Global Actions for Managing Cactus Invasions
Novoa, Ana; Brundu, Giuseppe; Day, Michael D.; Deltoro, Vicente; Essl, Franz; Foxcroft, Llewellyn C.; Fried, Guillaume; Kaplan, HayleeThe family Cactaceae Juss. contains some of the most widespread and damaging invasive alien plant species in the world, with Australia (39 species), South Africa (35) and Spain (24) being the main hotspots of invasion. The Global Cactus Working Group (IOBC GCWG) was launched in 2015 to improve international collaboration and identify key actions that can be taken to limit the impacts caused by cactus invasions ...
Two CRISPR/Cas9-mediated methods for targeting complex insertions, deletions, o...
Pineault, Kyriel M.; Novoa, Ana; Lozovska, Anastasiia; Wellik, Deneen M.; Mallo, MoisesGenetically modified model organisms are valuable tools for probing gene function, dissecting complex signaling networks, studying human disease, and more. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has significantly democratized and reduced the time and cost of generating genetically modified models to the point that small gene edits are now routinely and efficiently generated in as little as two months. However, generation of la...
A tissue-specific, Gata6-driven transcriptional program instructs remodeling of...
Losa, Marta; Latorre, Victor; Andrabi, Munazah; Ladam, Franck; Sagerström, Charles; Novoa, Ana; Zarrineh, Peyman; Bridoux, Laure; Hanley, Neil AConnection of the heart to the systemic circulation is a critical developmental event that requires selective preservation of embryonic vessels (aortic arches). However, why some aortic arches regress while others are incorporated into the mature aortic tree remains unclear. By microdissection and deep sequencing in mouse, we find that neural crest (NC) only differentiates into vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC...
Reorganisation ofHoxdregulatory landscapes during the evolution of a snake-like...
Guerreiro, Isabel; Gitto, Sandra; Novoa, Ana; Codourey, Julien; Nguyen Huynh, Thi Hanh; Gonzalez, Federico; Milinkovitch, Michel C; Mallo, MoisesWithin land vertebrate species, snakes display extreme variations in their body plan, characterized by the absence of limbs and an elongated morphology. Such a particular interpretation of the basic vertebrate body architecture has often been associated with changes in the function or regulation of Hox genes. Here, we use an interspecies comparative approach to investigate different regulatory aspects at the sn...
