“…Objective To assess the prevalence and trends of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Western Australia (WA) from 2010 to 2020 using linked pathology data.Design A retrospective observational cohort study using linked de-identified data from WA pathology providers, hospital morbidity records and mortality records.Setting A Western Australian population-based study.Participants All individuals aged 18 years and older with at least one serum creatinine test.Primary outcome measure CKD status as determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-creatinine ratio.Results Analysing data from 2 501 188 individuals, there was a significant increase in age-sex standardised CKD prevalence from 4.7% in 2010 to 6.0% in 2020, with annual average percentage change of 3.0% (95% CI: 2.3% to 3.7%). …”

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Genetic Differences Between Symbiodiniaceae Populations Among Reproductively and Geographically Isolated Acropora Colonies in Western Australia by Sanna Y. Eriksson, Mikhail V. Matz, Peter D. Vize, Natalie L. Rosser

“…The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of Symbiodiniaceae populations using low‐coverage whole genome sequencing in sympatric populations of Acropora cf. secale and allopatric populations of Acropora millepora that reproduce in different seasons in Western Australia. Genetic diversity of Symbiodiniaceae populations in these two species was examined using principal coordinates analysis and permutational analysis of variance. …”

Fishy Business—Assessing the Efficacy of Active and Passive eDNA to Describe the Fish Assemblage of a River in Southwestern Western Australia to Support Effective Monitoring by Emma R. Stevens, Josephine Hyde, Leah S. Beesley, Daniel C. Gwinn, Suzanne Thompson, Lenore Morris, Paige R. Wilson, Deirdre B. Gleeson

“…Here, we utilize a hierarchical multispecies N‐mixture model to compare three fish sampling methods: traditional fyke netting and active and passive environmental DNA sampling along a 30 km stretch of the Canning River in Western Australia. We used the fitted model to compare capture probabilities among sampling methods and reveal the sampling effort required to describe the species assemblage. …”
