Article describes study which assesses the relative accuracy of volunteer water quality data collected by the Texas Stream Team (TST) citizen science program from 1992–2016 across the State of Texas by comparing it to professional data from corresponding stations during the same time period.

Article describes how, twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystems services for human well-being, addressing the global biodiversity crisis still implied confronting barriers to incorporating nature's diverse values into decision-making. The authors assert that a better understanding of how and why nature is (under)valued is more urgent than ever.

Article describes how primate and human social groups exhibit a fractal structure that has a very limited range of preferred layer sizes. The authors calculate the size dependence of the scaling properties of complex social network models and argue that this aggregate behavior exhibits a form of collective intelligence.

Article describes how many agricultural management tactics, such as reduced tillage, aim to promote biodiversity and ecosystem services. Authors assessed how soil tillage and landscape context affected arthropod biodiversity and crop yield in canola crop fields.

Article describes how analysis of FAAHs from multiple angiosperm species, which revealed two conserved phylogenetic groups that differed in key conserved residues in the substrate binding pocket. The authors combined computational and biochemical approaches to compare the structural and enzymatic properties of two FAAH isoforms in the legume Medicago truncatula designated MtFAAH1 MtFAAH2a.

Article describes how previous studies have shown that human platelets and megakaryocytes carry microRNAs suggesting their role in platelet function and megakaryocyte development. In their laboratory, the authors identified 15 microRNAs in thrombocytes using single-cell RNA sequencing.

Article describes how genetic variation accounts for much of the risk for developing a substance use disorder, but the underlying genetic factors and their genetic effector mechanisms are mostly unknown. To test their genetic hypothesis, the authors generated and characterized Nav1 knockout mice.

Article describes that proanthocyanidins (PAs), flavonoid polymers involved in plant defense, are also beneficial to human health and ruminant nutrition. The authors explore whether there is a functional PA biosynthesis pathway in maize using a combination of analytical chemistry and genetic approaches.

Article describes how species occurrence data is foundational for research, conservation, and science communication, but the limited availability and accessibility of reliable data represents a major obstacle, particularly for insects, which face mounting pressures. The authors harmonized species names, country names, and collection dates and, we added record-level flags for a series of potential quality issues.
