Preservation of memory B cell homeostasis in an individual producing broadly neutralising antibodies against HIV-1

The paper isolates a broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibody from an untreated HIV-1 patient and shows memory B cells remain functional despite viral infection.

Spatial and seasonal variation in thermal sensitivity within North American bird species

This study examines spatial and seasonal variation in thermal sensitivity among North American bird species using eBird data, finding most species show non-stationarity in thermal optimum and breadth.

BirdFlow: Learning Seasonal Bird Movements from Citizen Science Data

The paper develops a probabilistic model to infer migratory bird movement from eBird data, showing it can accurately predict individual behavior using relative abundance estimates.

The CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex safeguards chromosomal stability during mitosis

This study identifies CIP2A as a mitosis-specific protein that forms a complex with TOPBP1 to regulate DSB repair and chromosomal stability during mitosis.

Analytical guidelines to increase the value of citizen science data: using eBird data to estimate species occurrence

This study improves species distribution estimates from eBird data by refining data processing and addressing biases, showing that complete checklists and effort covariates enhance model performance.

HIV-1 Vpr antagonizes innate immune activation by targeting karyopherin-mediated NF-kB/IRF3 nuclear transport

This study shows HIV-1 Vpr inhibits IRF3 and NF-κB nuclear transport by interacting with karyopherins, thereby evading innate immune activation and promoting HIV-1 replication in macrophages.

Integrating citizen science data with expert surveys increases accuracy and spatial extent of species distribution models

This study integrates citizen science data with expert surveys to improve the accuracy and spatial coverage of species distribution models for shorebirds in California.

Modeling Avian Full Annual Cycle Distribution and Population Trends with Citizen Science Data

The paper develops a framework to analyze citizen science data and estimate species distribution and abundance across the annual cycle, applied to Wood Thrush using eBird data.

Optimizing the conservation of migratory species over their full annual cycle

This study evaluates land prioritization strategies for conserving migratory birds by comparing annual vs. weekly optimization and inclusion of human-dominated lands.

Finding the signal in the noise of Citizen Science Observations

The paper evaluates how citizen science projects can improve biodiversity monitoring by collecting contextual information to reduce noise and enhance signal accuracy, using eBird as a case study.

Using citizen science data in integrated population models to inform conservation decision-making

The paper uses eBird citizen science data in integrated population models to estimate population trends and identify conservation strategies for tricolored blackbirds.
