PNAS is publishing an Editorial Expression of Concern regarding the following article: “New class of transcription factors controls flagellar assembly by recruiting RNA polymerase II in Chlamydomonas,” by Lili Li, Guangmei Tian, Hai Peng, Dan Meng, Liang Wang, Xiao Hu, Cheng Tian, Miao He, Junfei Zhou, Lihong Chen, Cheng Fu, Weixiong Zhang, and Zhangfeng Hu, which was first published April 9, 2018, and appeared in issue 17, April 24, 2018; 10.1073/pnas.1719206115 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 115, 4435–4440). We have recently learned that, since 2019, the authors have not shared the mutant strains described in the above-noted article to qualified investigators due to ongoing research. This is a violation of PNAS editorial policy, and we are publishing this statement to alert readers. PNAS authors must ensure that all unique reagents described in their published papers are available to qualified researchers, and any restrictions on the sharing of materials must be disclosed to the editorial office at the time of submission (https://www.pnas.org/authors/editorial-and-journal-policies#materials-and-data-availability).

Pollen seasons and human-caused climate change
Pollen seasons have lengthened by 20 days and pollen concentrations have increased by 21% from 1990 to 2018 in North America, and anthropogenic climate change is a likely factor.

Climate change and conservation across borders
Conservation efforts must be better coordinated across national borders, and the impacts of border barriers on species must be mitigated as the climate changes.
