Contrasting the genetic architecture of cardiac glutathione against other organs: unveiling a unique tissue-specific locus - Jessica Strosahl; Susan McClatchy; Gary A. Churchill; Rebecca L. Koch; Steven W. Craig; Robert Pazdro (Mammalian Genome, 2026)
Glutathione is a ubiquitous antioxidant with critical roles in xenobiotic clearance and aerobic metabolism. Reduced glutathione (GSH) is converted to its oxidized counterpart, GSSG, in the process of neutralizing free radicals and maintaining biochemical homeostasis. An imbalance between free radical generation and antioxidant protection leads to oxidative stress and diminished GSH concentrations. Polymorphisms in GSH synthesis and metabolism genes have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and progression, highlighting the critical need to explore the link between GSH system genetics and CVD. While those prior studies have focused on canonical GSH genes such as glutathione peroxidases ( GPx ), few studies to this date have investigated whether genes outside of traditional GSH pathways may be impacting the cardiac GSH redox system. Here, we performed high-precision genetic mapping using the Diversity Outbred (DO) mouse stock which revealed novel loci and genes underlying the cardiac GSH system. Mapping results indicated a locus on murine chromosome 14 at 54.240 Mbp associated with cardiac GSH concentrations, and bioinformatics analyses delineated five potential candidate genes: Slc7a7 , Myh6 , Myh7 , MiR-208a , and Nfatc4 . In addition, statistical analyses revealed notable variation in the cardiac GSH redox system under normal physiological conditions and correlations between cardiac and renal GSH phenotypes in the same cohort of mice. Overall, these findings expand our current knowledge of the vital GSH system, reveal novel genetic regulation of cardiac GSH status, and present candidate genes to be tested in future mechanistic studies.

Muscle architectural and performance adaptations following an 8-week sprint-focused training intervention - Luke R. Stutter; Steven Duhig; David L. Carey; Matthew W. Driller; Charlie J. Davids; Lachlan P. James (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2026)
Muscle fascicle length is a key determinant of sprint performance, with lengthening adaptations observed following eccentric strength training or combined sprint and resistance interventions. However, whether sprint-focused training can induce meaningful architectural adaptations, independent of concurrent sport-related training, remains unclear. Fourteen participants (10 female, 4 male; age 21.6 ± 3.3 years; body mass 68.0 ± 11.8 kg) completed an 8-week speed training intervention using a single-group design. Training sessions consisted of maximal velocity and resisted sprinting, technical acceleration drills, and a low volume of back squats to maintain baseline strength, with no additional lower-body training permitted. Vastus lateralis (VL) and biceps femoris long head (BFlh) fascicle length was estimated using 2-D ultrasound, alongside 40-metre sprint, jump and maximal strength tests. Significant increases in fascicle length were observed in the BFlh (left: 2.23 cm, 95%CI 1.75 to 2.70, p < 0.0001; right: 2.44 cm, 95%CI 1.99 to 2.90, p < 0.0001) and VL (left: 0.32 cm, 95%CI 0.83 to 1.81, p < 0.0001; right: 1.48 cm, 95%CI 0.95 to 2.01, p < 0.0001). Large effect sizes were evident across all muscles ( g = 1.40–2.03, 95% CI 0.86 to 2.46). No significant main effects for time were observed for sprint, jump or strength outcomes, however, small effect size improvements were evident for flying 10-m ( g = -0.27, 95% CI -0.46 to -0.09) performance. These findings indicate that sprint-focused training may be sufficient to elicit meaningful increases in muscle fascicle length, despite small performance change.

Trends in awareness and uptake of genetic testing among the United States population, 2011–2022 - Ariana Naaseh; Mengyao Shi; Steven Tohmasi; Erin L. Linnenbringer; Julie A. Margenthaler; Graham A. Colditz; Yin Cao (Journal of Community Genetics, 2026)
While genetic testing (GT) has become more available over the past decade, it is unclear whether public awareness and use have increased proportionally. We aimed to evaluate national trends in GT awareness and usage. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of nationally representative data from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). We analyzed survey responses from HINTS 4 Cycle 1–4 (2011–2014), 5 Cycle 1 and 4 (2017, 2020), and 6 (2022). Primary outcomes were overall genetic testing awareness and uptake. Secondary analyses evaluated awareness and uptake of health-related genetic testing (e.g. disease risk, cancer, and carrier testing) among survey cycles in which specific testing modalities were available. Linear regression assessed crude trends and multivariable logistic regression estimated odds ratios (OR). Among 22,256 respondents, overall awareness of GT increased from 36.6% in 2011 to 81.7% in 2022 (trend p < .001). Awareness was lower among individuals who were older (e.g., ref: age 18–34 , age 75+: OR 0.53 , 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43–0.64 ), male ( ref: female , OR 0.85 , CI: 0.77–0.95 ), non-Hispanic Black ( ref: non-Hispanic White , OR 0.63 , CI: 0.54–0.74 ), non-Hispanic Asian ( ref: non-Hispanic White , OR 0.38 , CI: 0.29–0.48 ), Hispanic ( ref: non-Hispanic White , OR 0.60 , CI: 0.52–0.69 ), with less than a college education (e.g., ref: some college , less than high school: OR 0.60 , CI: 0.47–0.77 ), and with annual household income <$75,000 (e.g., ref: >$75 , 000 , <$20 , 000: OR 0.49 , CI: 0.42–0.59 ). GT uptake increased from 21.4% in 2020 to 35.6% in 2022 (trend p < .001). GT uptake was lower among individuals who were non-Hispanic Asian ( ref: non-Hispanic White , OR 0.60 , CI: 0.38–0.96 ) and had household incomes <$35,000 (e.g., ref: >$75 , 000 , <$20 , 000: OR 0.68 , CI: 0.49–0.94 ), but higher among those with a personal history of cancer ( ref: no cancer history , OR 1.44 , CI: 1.07–1.92 ). Although GT awareness has grown, there are notable gaps across sociodemographic groups. Further study should better characterize factors influencing health-related GT uptake patterns.

Quantifying soybean biological nitrogen fixation using long-term isotope enrichment - Ophelia Tsai; Steven J. Hall; George L. Graef; Luis G. Posadas; James E. Specht; William G. Crumpton; Matthew J. Helmers; Shawn P. Conley (Plant and Soil, 2026)
Background and aims Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) supplies much of soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) nitrogen (N) demand, but reported fixation rates vary widely, leading to uncertainty in the soybean N cycle. We quantified whole-plant soybean BNF and N allocation using long-term 15 N labeling to assess whether BNF can offset grain N removal in a high-yielding system, and to quantify root contributions to fixed N. Methods Field mesocosms in Iowa, USA received three legacy fertilizer N rates as 2 atom% 15 N-enriched urea for four prior seasons of maize ( Zea mays L.) production. In 2024, N-fixing and non-N-fixing soybeans were grown to physiological maturity. Grain, aboveground biomass, and roots were analyzed to quantify BNF and to estimate whole-plant N budget. Results Soybean derived 81.8% ± 1% (SE) of total plant N from BNF. Legacy N rate had no effect on whole-plant N accumulation, BNF, or N partitioning among tissues (p > 0.05). Roots contained ~2% of total fixed N, with most BNF-derived N allocated to grain. High grain N removal was largely offset by BNF (174.7 ± 8.9 kg N ha −1 ), resulting in a near-neutral partial N balance (−5.7 ± 2 kg N ha⁻ 1 ). Conclusion From this one-season mesocosm study, our finding of negligible fixed N in soybean roots indicates that neglecting root BNF does not necessarily bias conclusions about soybean N cycle. However, the combination of long-term isotope labeling and non-nodulating isolines yielded much less variable and higher BNF rates than previous studies, suggesting the possibility of underestimation for soybean BNF in historical studies.

Spatial and temporal use of a tropical nursery habitat by juvenile blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) - Lauren A. Moe; Jason P. Turner; Jay R. Rooker; R. J. David Wells; Steven L. Colbert (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Blacktip sharks ( Carcharhinus limbatus ) are a circumglobal species that rely on nearshore nursery habitats during their early years. Movement patterns and habitat use of blacktip sharks in the Hawaiian Islands is poorly understood, and no nursery habitats have been discovered within Hawai’i. For this study, juvenile blacktip sharks (n = 29) were caught and tagged in Hilo Bay, Hawai’i, USA with acoustic transmitters. Tracking occurred every 2–5 weeks between July 2022 and January 2024 at 44 stations throughout Hilo Bay using a receiver and omnidirectional hydrophone. Results showed that juvenile blacktip sharks were present in the bay year-round, with the greatest monthly residence (41.3-50.0%) from March through August, and the lowest monthly residence (24.1-30.1%) from October through January. Blacktip sharks were detected within Hilo Bay more during the day than at night, but more frequently in deeper waters at night, which is likely due to excursions into deeper waters during heightened nocturnal foraging activity. Temperature and salinity did not significantly vary among stations, and as such, were not influential factors in habitat use. Dissolved oxygen (DO) appeared to limit habitat use during the day when concentrations were lowest in the bay. The lowest DO concentrations were observed during the months when the fewest number of sharks were detected, suggesting that oxygen requirements may influence habitat use within the bay. The residency patterns presented here support the delineation of Hilo Bay as the first known blacktip shark nursery habitat in Hawaiian waters. Our results suggest that this population of blacktip sharks reside predominantly within Hilo Bay for the first few years of their life, and highlight the effect that environmental changes can have on this species’ habitat availability and movement patterns.

Photon-counting CT-angiography in comparison to digital subtraction angiography and MR-angiography for assessing intra-aneurysmal flow disrupting devices - Frederic De Beukelaer; Laura L. Wuyts; Martin Wiesmann; Hani Ridwan; Steven Van Hedent; Charlotte S. Weyland (Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2026)
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Photon-Counting Detector CT Angiography (PCD-CTA) for the post-interventional assessment of intraaneurysmal flow disrupting devices (IAFD). Methods This retrospective analysis evaluates consecutive patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with IAFD between April 2023 and April 2025, who underwent PCD-CTA, MR angiography and DSA as part of their clinical diagnostic work-up routine. Polyenergetic images, iodine and virtual monoenergetic imaging reconstructions with different keV levels (40 and 80) and with different Head vessel kernels (Hv56 and Hv72) were acquired with and without iterative metal artifact reduction. Three independent readers assessed image quality using a 5-point Likert scale and region of interest analysis. The different kernels, keV and the optimized spectral reconstructions were compared in descriptive analysis. Results A total of 10 patients (mean age 60.41 ± 11.43 (43–74) years; 6 women) with intracranial aneurysms treated with either Contour device ( n = 6) or WEB device ( n = 4) were included. Reconstructions using Hv56 and a 40 keV yielded increased signal and contrast to noise ratios and were preferred for visualizing the parent vessel lumen compared to Hv72 and higher keV levels ( p p = 0.040). Conclusion Spectral reconstructions of PCD-CTA with a smoother reconstruction kernel and a low keV level seem to be beneficial to achieve optimal image quality for the diagnostic evaluation of patients with intracranial IAFD.

Short-term mechanisms, long-term consequences: transcriptomic insights into ocean acidification tolerance and stress in juvenile snow crab - Laura H. Spencer; Ingrid Spies; Jennifer L. Gardner; Steven B. Roberts; W. Christopher Long (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Understanding how marine species tolerate ocean acidification (OA) is critical for predicting biological responses to ocean change, as well as impacts on the ecosystems and industries that rely upon them. Snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ) are both a major fishery resource in the Bering Sea and an important component of high-latitude marine food webs. Experimental work suggests that snow crab are relatively tolerant of OA, but that this tolerance has limits. In a recent study, juveniles maintained growth and molting during a year-long exposure to moderate OA (pH 7.8) and severe OA (pH 7.5), while survival declined in the severe OA treatment after 250 days. In this companion study, we applied RNA-seq to characterize transcriptomic responses to OA using individual whole-body juvenile snow crab. Expression profiles were characterized in OA treatments (pH 7.8, pH 7.5) at two time points: after 8 hours to identify molecular mechanisms underlying short-term tolerance; and after 88 days to understand chronic effects of severe OA (10–14 crabs per treatment and time point). The 8 h transcriptional response involved strong activation of genes associated with mitochondrial protein repair, cuticle maintenance, and immune modulation, processes shared between OA treatments but of substantially greater magnitude under severe OA (616 versus 148 differentially expressed genes). After 88 days of OA exposure, differential expression among the two OA treatments (186 genes) revealed sustained upregulation of stress- and damage-mitigation pathways in severe OA (pH 7.5). These findings suggest that juvenile snow crab tolerate OA through flexible molecular responses that maintain energy production capacity, cellular, and protective barrier function. However, persistent activation of these pathways under severe OA indicates a chronic stress state that precedes outward physiological effects and likely contributes to increased mortality under long-term exposure. We further highlight potential early indicators of chronic acidification stress in snow crab, among which a gene likely coding for carbonic anhydrase 7 (CA7) appears to be the most promising biomarker candidate.

Investigating the behaviour of deep-sea fish in the vicinity of an oil and gas installation - Steven J. Brooks; Bjørnar A. Beylich; Kate L. Hawley (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Acoustic telemetry of wild fish using baited transmitters was conducted at the Snorre A offshore oil and gas installation in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea to investigate fish behaviour and spatial distribution to determine whether fish associated with the platform were resident or transient. Traditional capture, tag, and release approaches were not feasible in the deep waters surrounding the installation. Instead, a non-invasive approach was employed in which baited acoustic transmitters, equipped with depth and activity sensors, were deployed and ingested voluntarily by fish in situ at depths of 300–310 m above the seafloor. A total of 12 acoustic tags were deployed, six of which were successfully ingested and retained for sufficient durations to generate behavioural data over a five-week period. Tag detections were recorded by three acoustic receivers positioned in a triangulated array along the edge of the 500 m safety zone surrounding the platform. Depth, activity, and movement data revealed clear differences in behaviour amongst tagged individuals, suggesting ingestion by multiple fish species. Based on depth distributions and known species composition in the area, at least three tags were likely consumed by ling (Molva molva), two by tusk (Brosme brosme), and one by saithe (Pollachius virens). Synchronisation tag data indicated a typical detection range of 500–700 m, providing approximately 80% coverage of the safety zone. Consequently, estimates of fish residency in the area should be considered conservative. Despite this limitation, four of the six tagged fish exhibited prolonged presence near the installation, indicating resident rather than transient behaviour. The acoustic telemetry system performed reliably under offshore conditions, generating approximately 180,000 detections and providing rare and valuable data on fish behaviour around an offshore installation. Overall, this study demonstrates proof of concept that baited acoustic telemetry is a viable and welfare-friendly method for studying deep−sea fish behaviour in offshore environments, reducing behavioural bias associated with invasive tagging methods and offering new opportunities to assess fish residency and exposure to offshore petroleum activities.

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain Predicts Stroke Outcome and is a Potential Marker for Treatment Effects of Neural Stem Cell-derived Extracellular Vesicles in a Rat Stroke Model - Megan K. Cannon; Alinde R. Fojtik; Charles M. White; Raymond L. Swetenburg; Steven L. Stice; Sean I. Savitz; Emily W. Baker (Translational Stroke Research, 2026)
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, and effective treatments are urgently needed beyond reperfusion therapy. Translating preclinical success to clinical impact has been hindered by variability in animal models and the lack of translational biomarkers that predict outcomes across species. To overcome these barriers, we developed a robust rat AIS model optimized for consistency and severity, enabling rigorous therapeutic testing. Additionally, we tested a panel of common clinical serum biomarkers to improve translation from rodents to humans. We demonstrated that serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) -a biomarker widely used in clinical stroke studies- strongly correlated with functional outcomes, establishing a translational link that has not been previously reported in rats. Notably, NfL’s predictive capabilities performed as well as infarct volume while outperforming serum biomarkers intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and S100 calcium binding protein (S100B). Using this platform, we evaluated the therapeutic impact of neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NSC EV), a novel biologic therapy poised for clinical trials, on stroke outcome in our rat AIS model. A three-dose regimen of NSC EV over 48 h confirmed our previous studies and produced the best outcomes in stroked animals evidenced by smaller infarct volume, improved neurologic score, and reduced serum NfL. In addition, single-dose and two-dose regimens of NSC EV were both effective at some endpoints. These findings not only validate NfL as a cross-species biomarker but also provide critical dosing insights for NSC EV therapy, accelerating the path from bench to bedside for AIS treatment.

The impact of varying cursor latency on visuomotor tracking - Lucy J Turner; Steven D Wiederman; Jessica L O’Rielly; Anna Ma-Wyatt (Experimental Brain Research, 2026)
The visuomotor system compensates for sensory feedback delays, enabling the integration of visual information with motor commands to track moving objects with precision. However, when latency associated with a movement outcome becomes variable or noisy, this ability to compensate is tested. We aimed to identify the thresholds at which delays disrupt tracking to understand the limits of visuomotor prediction and error correction. Participants performed a visually guided pursuit task following a target along a curvilinear path, while eye and cursor movements were recorded under various latency conditions. Cursor position was recorded throughout each trial to quantify mouse-to-cursor latency, cursor velocity, and cursor–target error. In the first study, latency was constant within trials. Six latency magnitudes (0–300 ms) were tested and their impact on tracking performance analysed. Spectral analysis of cursor velocity showed that under high latency, pursuit submovements shifted to lower frequencies interspersed with high frequency corrective actions, whereas under low latency conditions, smoother tracking dominated. In the second study, abrupt changes in cursor latency were introduced mid-trial. Step increases in latency resulted in larger positional errors and increased corrective submovements, while decreases in latency led to rapid error reduction and a return to smoother tracking. These transitions highlight the visuomotor system’s ability to recalibrate in response to latency variability. Together these results show that error correction mechanisms rapidly respond to changes in latency depending on its magnitude. These results may inform the design of assistive display technologies that maintain performance under challenging conditions and increase safety in high-risk environments.

Mycobacterium gordonae (Actinomycetota: Mycobacteriales: Mycobacteriaceae) Infecting Captive‐Reared Laurel Dace, Chrosomus saylori (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae) in North America - Daniel Gordillo‐González; Steven P. Ksepka; Haley R. Dutton; Kamila Cajiao‐Mora; John H. Brule; Bernard R. Kuhajda; Anna L. George; Stephen A. Bullard (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
A captive‐reared cohort of Laurel Dace, Chrosomus saylori (Skelton 2001) (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae), a federally‐endangered species endemic to several streams in eastern Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, exhibited signs of morbidity and trickling mortalities in a recirculating aquaculture system. Ziehl‐Neelsen (ZN) staining revealed acid‐fast rod‐shaped bacteria within necrotic and intracellular lesions affecting the eye, swim bladder, spleen, and ovary. Histopathology showed granulomatous inflammation characterised by macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, and eosinophilic exudates. The eye, swim bladder, and ovary were particularly impacted: the choroid plexus of the eye displayed haemorrhages and dense cellular infiltrates; the swim bladder exhibited granulomatous inflammation with extensive fibrosis; the ovary contained caseous granulomas; and the choroid plexus of the eye displayed haemorrhages and dense cellular infiltrates. PCR amplification of the hsp65 gene (316 bp) from formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded lesioned tissues was identical (100% similar; 424 bp fragment) to that of the type strain of Mycobacterium gordonae Bojalil et al. 1962 (AF547840). This is the first report of an infection by M. gordonae in Laurel Dace; the first record of this bacterium causing a lesion in the swim bladder, eye, or ovary; and the first record of M. gordonae from a freshwater fish in North America.

Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism, the tendency of closely related species to retain ancestral ecological traits, has gained considerable interest, yet the lack of integration across independent evaluation methods has hindered our understanding of whether niches are conserved or dynamic. Such an understanding is especially relevant for taxa of conservation concern, such as crocodylians (order Crocodylia). This study assessed niche conservatism among New World crocodylians by combining ensemble species distribution models, phylogenetics, and standard metrics of geographic and environmental niche overlap. Location America. Major Taxa Order Crocodylia. Methods We estimated species' climatic niches in geographic and environmental dimensions to assess overlap patterns and quantified associations between niche overlap and phylogenetic patristic distance using the Mantel test and phylogenetic independent contrast (PIC). Results Overlap analyses in geographic and environmental spaces revealed climatic niche differentiation across the clade, suggesting divergent environmental preferences among species. The relationship between phylogenetic patristic distance and climatic niche overlap assessed via Mantel tests revealed a significant negative correlation with geographic niche overlap ( ρ = −0.361, p = 0.005), but no evidence for associations with environmental niche overlap (Schoener's D: ρ = −0.079, p = 0.184; Hellinger's I: ρ = −0.063, p = 0.250), suggesting that more distantly related species overlap less geographically. In contrast, the relationship assessed using PIC revealed no evidence for associations between phylogenetic distance and either geographic ( ρ = −0.200, p = 0.579) or environmental niche overlap (D: ρ = −0.294, p = 0.41; I: ρ = −0.319, p = 0.369). Conclusions We found no strong or consistent evidence for phylogenetic conservatism in climatic niches across both geographic (inverse relationship) and environmental (no relationship) dimensions in New World crocodylians. This study enhances our understanding of niche dynamics and highlights the value of integrating niche modelling with phylogenetic analyses to detect biogeographic and evolutionary patterns.

Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) is an ecologically and economically valuable species. As global warming drives marine species toward cooler or deeper waters, ABFT distributions are expected to shift, potentially disrupting predator–prey dynamics and fisheries interactions. This study models future habitat suitability for ABFT, its primary prey (as a proxy for food availability), and the drifting longline fishery that targets adult ABFT under three climate scenarios (SSP1‐2.6, SSP3‐7.0, SSP5‐8.5). Results indicate a poleward shift in ABFT distribution, with habitat losses in tropical regions and gains in boreal zones. Prey species show similar trends, increasing spatial overlap with ABFT in higher latitudes while decreasing in tropical areas. These boreal regions may act as climate refugia and bright spots , with a projected 15% increase in prey overlap by century's end. However, ABFT key spawning grounds—the Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Mexico—are projected to become significantly less suitable for adults, with habitat suitability declining by up to 27% and 73%, respectively, threatening reproductive success. Meanwhile, overlap with the drifting longline fishery may decline by 4%, unless fishing efforts also shift poleward. Regions such as Greenland and northern Europe may become increasingly important for ABFT persistence and expansion. These distributional changes could challenge current international agreements and quota systems, underscoring the need for adaptive, climate‐resilient management strategies.

A Global Comparison of Direct and Legacy Effects of Drought on Ecosystem Productivity - Meng Liu; Steven A. Kannenberg; Josep Peñuelas; William R. L. Anderegg (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Terrestrial ecosystems serve as a major carbon (C) sink, but the increasing frequency and intensity of drought threaten the C sink and ecological communities. A comprehensive understanding of the change in ecosystem productivity due to the direct effect versus the legacy effect of drought is still lacking. We quantify the magnitude change in terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) globally due to both direct and long‐term legacy effects. We find that the direct effect causes significant GPP decreases in magnitude of −5.94% [−13.40%, −3.21%] per year, while the legacy effect‐induced GPP change is weaker and non‐significant at a global scale. Drought legacy effects, however, are detectable in dry sub‐humid regions. The direct effect‐induced change is highly correlated with that of the legacy effect, and rooting depth is a key driver for both. These findings demonstrate the current resilience of global ecosystems to drought but underscore the long‐term vulnerability of dryland ecosystems.

Saraiva; Eliane Gonçalves‐de‐Freitas; Pablo Arechavala‐Lopez; Bernice Bovenkerk; Michael Breen; Steven J. Cooke; Martin Føre; Lene Northwood; Lars Helge Stien; Sunil Kadri; Chris Noble; et al. (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford et al. (2006; J Fish Biol 68 : 332–372), highlighting the growing role of cognitive and affective processes. It also includes the concept of positive welfare and some of the current research advances in this field. Methods for measuring, monitoring and assessing welfare via the utilisation of outcome‐ and input‐based indicators are outlined, ranging from practical operational tools to laboratory‐based measures. Welfare concerns in wild‐capture fisheries are examined in relation to stress, flesh quality and sustainability, including the welfare of released fish. Recent advances in fish neurobiology, cognition and pain perception are summarised, together with technological innovations that enhance welfare monitoring and management. The paper also explores the relationship between fish welfare, sustainability, public concerns and consumer demand, and legal and moral recognition across contexts, situating fish welfare within the ‘One Health’ and ‘One Welfare’ frameworks that link animal welfare, environmental stewardship and human well‐being. Ongoing challenges include climate change, cultural factors and the interpretation of fish sentience and cognition among others.

Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegeneration - Nikhil N. Chaudhari; Owen M. Vega; Phoebe Imms; Jaron M. Kawamura; Nahian F. Chowdhury; Tamara Jafar; Andrei Irimia; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; William Jagust; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can find aging-related structural alterations above and beyond cortical thickness and atrophy. Using a novel approach to DNN interpretability, we mapped brain aging progression in 25,539 cognitively normal UK Biobank adults aged 45–83 years. Cortical aging is found to involve anatomic features becoming prominent during the 50s within frontolateral, mesolimbic, cuneal, and occipitotemporal regions. From these foci, aging-related features propagate to adjacent areas at rates peaking in the 60s. Cortical thinning and atrophy do not trend closely with neurodegeneration, but important DNN-identifiable anatomic features have spatiotemporal dynamics that match those of amyloid or tau. Our results challenge the assumption that MRI cannot map anatomic features trending with neurodegeneration. Interpretable DNNs can empower MRI to quantify anatomic aging as a process of spatial feature expansion from focal regions into nearby structures in the sequence of neurodegenerative pathology. Traditional morphometrics explain only ∼1% of variance in DNN-identifiable features, which clarifies why the former are insensitive to anatomic changes involving neurodegeneration. Our results conceptualize brain aging in the context of spatial and temporal parallels between anatomic senescence and neuropathology. These findings may help to map cognitively normal adults’ neurodegenerative anatomy even without PET measurements. Graphical Abstract

Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata): Management Challenges, Knowledge Gaps, and Opportunities for an Unsung Species - Benjamin O. Knapp; Jacob Fraser; Joanne Baggs; Vikram E. Chhatre; David Clabo; Connor D. Crouch; Daniel C. Dey; Shaik M. Hossain; Steven B. Jack; John M. Kabrick; Kathryn R. Kidd; Steven McNulty; et al. (Journal of Forestry, 2026)
Shortleaf pine has the broadest range of the southern pine species, occurring in 22 states and extending north into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York (Staten Island). Shortleaf pine has been understudied compared to loblolly pine and longleaf pine, typically favored for timber production and conservation value, respectively. The extensive range of shortleaf pine contributes to a high degree of variability within and among its ecosystems and contributes to the need to understand regional context in considering its ecology and management. The goal of this paper is to review and synthesize the state-of-knowledge on shortleaf pine ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of variation across its range in identifying management challenges and opportunities. We discuss the variation in growing conditions that occur across the geographic range, shortleaf pine natural community groups, and contemporary shortleaf pine forest types that occur on the landscape. We provide a review of the state-of-knowledge for topics related to shortleaf pine management, including its fire ecology, genetic considerations, economics, and others. Finally, we synthesize these into key considerations and highlight regionally specific management challenges and opportunities.

Best practices for estimating turbulent dissipation from oceanic single-point velocity timeseries observations - Cynthia E. Bluteau; Danielle J. Wain; Julia C. Mullarney; Craig L. Stevens (Ocean Science, 2026)
We provide best practices for estimating the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, ε, from velocity measurements in an oceanographic context. These recommendations were developed as part of the Scientific Committee on Oceanographic Research (SCOR) Working Group #160 “Analyzing ocean turbulence observations to quantify mixing”. The recommendations here focus on velocity measurements that enable fitting the inertial subrange of wavenumber velocity spectra. The method examines the measurable range for this method of dissipation rates in the ocean, seas, and other natural waters. The recommendations are intended to be platform-independent since the velocities may be measured using bottom-mounted platforms, platforms mounted beneath the ice, or platforms directly on mooring lines once the data is motion-decontaminated. The procedure for preparing the data for spectral estimation is discussed in detail, along with the quality control metrics that should accompany each estimate of ε during data archiving. The methods are applied to four “benchmark” datasets covering different flow regimes and two instrument types (acoustic-Doppler and time of travel). Problems associated with velocity data quality, such as phase-wrapping, spikes, measurement noise, and frame interference, are illustrated with examples drawn from the benchmarks. Difficulties in resolving and identifying the inertial subrange are also discussed, and recommendations on how these issues should be identified and flagged during data archiving are provided.

Development of a Fall-Specific Impact Testing Method to Evaluate Safety Helmet Performance and Injury Risk - Susanna M. Gagliardi; Nicole E.-P. Stark; Mark T. Begonia; Michael L. Madigan; Steven Rowson (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2026)
Purpose Despite falls accounting for the greatest number of fatal and non-fatal work-related traumatic brain injuries, current standards do not evaluate safety helmets under impact conditions representative of fall scenarios. This study’s objective was to develop a test method that evaluates safety helmets under impact scenarios representative of falls. A Construction STAR rating system that quantitatively compares safety helmet performance in the context of concussion and skull fracture risk is also outlined. Methods A multi-step approach that combined information from previous literature, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) accident reports, and oblique impact tests were used to develop a fall-specific safety helmet test methodology. The test methodology consisting of three impact locations (front boss, rear boss, and rear), two impact velocities (5.5 and 6.8 m/s), and a 25-degree anvil was executed on a representative subset of one Type I and four Type II models. STAR scores, combining concussion and skull fracture risk, were calculated for each model and compared. Results STAR scores demonstrated that Type II helmets reduced concussion risk by 32.7% and skull fracture risk by 57.5% when compared to the Type I model. Large variations in Type II performance were observed, with the top-performing Type II helmets reducing concussion risk by 28.7 and 33.2% compared to bottom-performing models. Conclusions Type II helmets offer substantial benefits in head protection compared to Type I models for oblique fall-related impacts. By including both skull fracture and concussion risk in the STAR score, the proposed methodology can differentiate high and low-performing safety helmets.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes - Jordanna N. Bergman; Jessica A. Robichaud; Jasper McCutcheon; Michael T. Booth; Brendan Campbell; Grace A. Casselberry; Cienna R. Cooper; Bronwyn M. Gillanders; Lucas P. Griffin; Edward Hale; Luc LaRochelle; Karen J. Murchie; et al. (Fish and Fisheries, 2026)
Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic, genetic, demographic) connectivity, that together shape the flow of organisms, energy and information across ecosystems. We also synthesised six key methods that can be used to study connectivity of fishes: (1) telemetry, including satellite, acoustic, radio and passive integrated transponders (PIT), (2) mark‐recapture, (3) environmental tracers, including stable isotopes and otolith‐microchemistry, (4) genetics, (5) community structure analysis and (6) emerging technologies and tools (e.g., remote sensing and artificial intelligence). For each method, we describe the categories of connectivity it can assess and provide real‐world examples where they have been effectively used. We also identify limitations of each method. This article highlights the diverse and evolving toolbox of methods used to assess fish connectivity, underscoring the need for continued collaboration, innovation and integration of new approaches to refine our understanding and address remaining challenges in this critical area of aquatic ecology and fisheries management.

Sex and APOE genotype specific brain regional vulnerability to Alzheimer's Disease - Qi Zeng; Minghui Wang; Erming Wang; Xianxiao Zhou; Peng Xu; Vahram Haroutunian; Dongming Cai; Bin Zhang; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI), and regional vulnerability was assessed with a composite vulnerability score (CVS) derived from associations between diffusion features and AD severity across clinical traits in each of the four sex-APOE groups (female or male, with or without APOE4). Brain parcellation with the Eve atlas revealed regions consistently affected across sex-APOE groups (e.g., parahippocampal and superior temporal gyri) and regions specific to individual groups (e.g., the cingulum in females with APOE4 and the middle frontal gyrus in males without APOE4). Gene co-expression network analysis of the matched blood expression data identified gene subnetworks linked to group-specific regional vulnerability, including a muscle tissue morphogenesis module regulated by NEURL1B and HIST1H2BN associated with middle frontal gyrus vulnerability. These findings demonstrate that sex and APOE genotype jointly shape region-specific WM vulnerability and its molecular signatures in AD. Understanding these interactions provides novel mechanistic insights and may inform precision approaches to drug development, biomarker discovery, and clinical trial design for AD.

Integrated effects of altered action potentials and calcium release on skeletal muscle force generation in transgenic Huntington’s disease mice - Daniel R. Miranda; Steven R. A.

Wilson; Abhyudai Singh; Volker Bahn; Hongmei Ren; Erick Hernández-Ochoa; et al. (Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2026)
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a movement disorder commonly recognized as being neurodegenerative. An increasing number of studies also show primary HD dysfunction in multiple tissues, consistent with the widespread expression of the mutated huntingtin gene. Studies of HD skeletal muscle have revealed membrane hyperexcitability and prolonged action potentials due to Cl – and K + channel dysfunction as well as decreased Ca 2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) due to ryanodine receptor dysfunction. However, neither mechanism alone explains HD skeletal muscle function. To address this, we simultaneously recorded action potentials and SR Ca 2+ release in model HD muscle and quantitatively linked the concerted mechanism to force generation. We discovered that the reduced SR Ca 2+ release does not cause weakness in model HD muscle as expected because of the prolonged SR Ca 2+ release (due to wider action potentials) and altered expression of Ca 2+ -binding proteins. The resulting integrated mechanism helps explains the surprisingly normal specific twitch force in model HD muscle and reveals a precarious balance that we show begins to disintegrate under very mild repetitive stimulation. The interplay of pathways also explains the resistance to myotonia in model HD muscle despite the substantial reduction in Cl − current. By examining a concerted multi-molecular mechanism, we are able to understand tissue-level function in model HD muscle. This detailed study of twitch responses lays the foundation to examine the more complex integration of pathways during repetitive activity in HD muscle as well as in other normal and disease states that would benefit from the multi-molecular approach.

Using a self-modulated treadmill as a novel approach to study cognitive-motor and biomechanical outcomes during dual-task walking in individuals with and without lower limb loss - Emma P.

Hendershot; et al. (Experimental Brain Research, 2026)
Combined examination of mental workload and biomechanics during dual-task walking in individuals with lower-limb loss is limited to fixed, but not self-modulated walking pace, for which the latter enables dynamic cognitive-motor behavior as typically engaged during community ambulation. By assessing electroencephalography (EEG) (theta, low/high-alpha power) and biomechanics (gait speed, double limb support, stride width), the cerebral cortical activity underlying mental workload and walking mechanics were examined when individuals with and without lower-limb loss executed a cognitive task (assessed via response time and accuracy) under variable demand (seated and walking). Both populations maintained walking mechanics (unchanged gait speed, double limb support, stride width) during dual-task walking across demand and exhibited similarly elevated neurocognitive engagement (e.g., attention, action monitoring) indicated by similar theta power increase and low/high-alpha power decrease when facing greater demand. However, injured individuals exhibited relative performance decrement (degraded response time/accuracy), which suggests attenuated cognitive-motor efficiency relative to uninjured (i.e., similar cortical activity across groups with degraded performance). Moreover, while uninjured individuals during dual-task walking could robustly engage neurocognitive processes to maintain walking mechanics and successfully attend to the concurrent cognitive task, those with lower-limb loss did not exhibit such a robust recruitment (i.e., unchanged frontal/temporal high-alpha power). Such alterations in individuals with lower-limb loss leads to maintenance of walking at the cost of a concurrent task. The present work informs rehabilitation practice and reveals specific cognitive-motor outcomes for individuals with lower-limb loss in an enhanced ecological context.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats - Michelle VanCompernolle; Juliet Morris; Hannah J. Calich; Jorge P. Rodríguez; Sarah A. Marley; Jessica R. Pearce; Briana Abrahms; Katya Abrantes; André S. Afonso; Alex Aguilar; Andrews Agyekumhene; Tomonari Akamatsu; et al. (Conservation Biology, 2026)
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threats. The threats we considered included individual fishing gear types, climate‐change‐related subthreats not previously assessed, and threats associated with coastal impacts and maritime disturbances. Our ratings resulted in 70 species having high vulnerability ( v > 0.778 out of 1) to at least 1 threat, primarily drifting longlines, temperature extremes, or fixed gear. These 3 threats were also considered to have the most severe effects (i.e., steepest population declines). Overall, temperature extremes and plastics and other solid waste were rated as affecting the largest proportion of populations. Penguins, pinnipeds, and polar bears had the highest vulnerability to temperature extremes. Bony fishes had the highest vulnerability to drifting longlines and plastics and other solid waste; pelagic cetaceans to 4 maritime disturbance threats; elasmobranchs to 5 fishing threats; and flying birds to drifting longlines and 2 maritime disturbance threats. Sirenians and turtles had the highest vulnerability to at least one threat from all 4 categories. Despite not necessarily having severe effects for most taxonomic groups, temperature extremes were rated among the top threats for all taxa except bony fishes. The vulnerability scores we provide are an important first step in estimating the risk of threats to marine megafauna. Importantly, they help differentiate scope from severity, which is key to identifying threats that should be prioritized for mitigation.

First documentation of gravid Alopias vulpinus (Bonnaterre, 1788) in the southeastern Pacific: Evidence for a potential maternal corridor - Sarita Campos‐León; Fabiola Zavalaga; Bryan L. Huerta‐Beltrán; Stevens Lucero‐Perez; Nicolas R. Ehemann (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
The thresher shark, found in temperate and tropical oceans, remains understudied in the southern Eastern Pacific. Here, we report the capture of pregnant Alopias vulpinus off Peru, detailing the analysis of four full‐term embryos that exhibited oophagy as a nutritional strategy. The repeated capture of gravid females in this area suggests the potential presence of a gestation corridor along the Peruvian coast. These findings highlight the importance of accurate species identification and underscore the need for further research, thereby contributing to the conservation of this endangered shark species across the southeastern Pacific.

Mapping blue carbon ecosystems from Earth observations at a national scale for Papua New Guinea - Christopher J. Owers; Richard M. Lucas; Carole Planque; Daniel Clewley; Matt Paget; Chloe Fitzpatrick; Annette Burke; Freddie Alei; Mitchell B. Lyons; Andrew D. L. Steven (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
National maps are essential to support the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of blue carbon ecosystems (BCE). This is particularly important for nations in the Indo-Pacific region, including Papua New Guinea (PNG), that aspire to integrate these ecosystems into their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) for ecosystem accounting. This study focussed on mapping the extent of BCEs in PNG using Earth observation data for the year 2020 and reporting on biomass and carbon storage services. Land cover categories were generated using the Living Earth framework for the 15 coastal provinces of PNG. The total BCE area in PNG (14,353 km²) comprised 30% mangrove, 65% lowland peat swamp forest, 3% saltmarsh, and 2% seagrass. Lowland peat swamp forests contribute the greatest biomass (137.94 ± 67.10 Tg) followed by mangroves (71.79 ± 27.16 Tg), with a total biomass of 212.99 ± 95.89 Tg. Across PNG, a total of 710.46 ± 362.75 Tg C were estimated for belowground carbon of BCEs (reporting to 1 m depth), almost seven times more than that of aboveground carbon (102.14 ± 45.97 Tg C). This study highlights the need for a consistent and standardised framework for mapping BCEs, which can support coordinated management of coastal landscapes across provinces that contribute to national policies and NDC reporting. This case study can be used as a demonstration for other nations where similar opportunities and challenges may exist for mapping BCE using Earth observations, with a framework that can be compared and adapted to user requirements.

The impact of high rainfall events on the submesoscale salinity field in a coastal sea: Greater Cook Strait, New Zealand - Khushboo Jhugroo; Joanne M. O'Callaghan; Craig L. Stevens (New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2025)
River inflow into the coastal oceanic environment can result in low salinity submesoscale features (LSMFs). The enhanced water column stability sustained within these coherent structures affects local biological productivity. With‐event and seasonal variability of LSMFs were investigated in a coastal sea — Greater Cook Strait — that is characterised by strong tidal and wind forcing as well as being forced at the land‐sea boundary by several major rivers. A combination of ocean glider and satellite observations revealed the existence of seasonal variability in temperature, chlorophyll and stratification in LSMFs. High rainfall from ex‐cyclone enhanced production of LSMFs in seasons when they would otherwise be less frequent. Stronger stratification was observed at the end of spring, in summer and at the beginning of autumn both in ambient shelf conditions and within LSMFs. Subsurface chlorophyll‐a maxima were found associated with summer and spring LSMFs, when temperature had a stronger contribution to vertical stratification. In the available samples, LSMFs were advected seawards when river discharges exceeded 600 m s . When river flows were lower than this threshold, other drivers such as wind or currents were required to advect the observed LSMFs offshore.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s marine carbon cycle in a changing climate – Current understanding and future directions - Scott D. Nodder; Cliff S. Law; Erik Behrens; Sarah J. Bury; Antonia Cristi; Charine Collins; Kim I. Currie; Moira Décima; Alain De Verneil; Pablo C. Escobar‐Flores; Denise Fernandez; Mark P. Gall; et al. (New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2025)
The marine system plays a critical role in the global climate cycle, as a major control of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Marine primary production (photosynthesis) and remineralisation of organic carbon (respiration, degradation) determine the amount of CO 2 sequestered in marine sediments and deep‐water environments on century to millennial timescales. The stocks and fluxes of the marine carbon cycle are susceptible to global climate change impacts and other anthropogenic activities that modify key processes. Oceanographic studies of the marine carbon cycle in Aotearoa New Zealand’s Exclusive Economic Zone (NZ EEZ) and Territorial Seas over past decades have provided broad knowledge across a complex and dynamic seascape, but there remain fundamental knowledge gaps that limit identification of and response to present and future anthropogenic threats. In particular, several areas of the EEZ have been under‐sampled and there are currently insufficient data to establish baselines and variability for the marine carbon cycle. We recommend that new observational technologies and ocean modelling applications be fully developed and utilised to enable development of robust predictive capability of our ocean’s response to human‐induced perturbations. Future focus on oceanic nature‐based solutions to accelerate CO 2 uptake will require improved knowledge of the marine carbon cycle in NZ’s EEZ.

Life-extending interventions do not necessarily result in compression of morbidity: a case example offering a robust statistical approach - Deependra K. Thapa; Wasiuddin Najam; Erik S. Parker; Xi Rita Wang; Daniel L. Smith; Ufuk Beyaztas; James F. Nelson; Steven N. Austad; Gary A. Churchill; David B. Allison (GeroScience, 2025)
Despite extensive research on life-extending interventions, rigorous statistical techniques to determine their impact on compression of morbidity (CoM) are rarely used. We present a case example of an analytical method for examining the effect of life-extending dietary interventions on CoM by comparing the rates of decline in vitality and survival toward the end of life. Using data from previous experimental studies in mice, we calculated the average rate of vitality decline by fitting exponential decay models to individual vitality trajectories and compared this rate with the rate of survival decline estimated from Cox proportional hazards model. The results showed that, surprisingly, the life-extending interventions failed to compress morbidity. Instead, the models suggested a potential expansion of morbidity with the interventions, particularly for chronic caloric restriction, as evidenced by a greater difference between the rates of vitality decline and survival decline in the intervention group than in the control group. The results further showed age-dependent effects, with interventions likely to demonstrate CoM at very old ages. These findings challenge the assumption that lifespan extension necessarily compresses morbidity, highlighting the need to consider lifespan, healthspan, and CoM as endpoints when evaluating anti-aging interventions. We do not claim that life-extending interventions categorically fail to achieve CoM; rather, we demonstrate how a rigorous statistical approach can be applied to test the CoM hypothesis. Our framework offers a valuable tool for future studies, and further refining this method will be crucial to determine under which circumstances lifespan extension leads to CoM. The potential to choose from multiple analyses of CoM calls for leadership in the geroscience community both to standardize the nomenclature so that different CoM analysis approaches can be communicated clearly and to establish a “default” CoM analysis for everyone to use in addition to their analyses of choice, thus facilitating comparisons and meta-analyses across studies.

Small Phytoplankton Community Composition Cycles Annually With a Coastal Bloom - Bethany L. F. Stevens; Rebecca J. Gast; Emily E. Peacock; Yogesh A. Girdhar; Michael G. Neubert; Heidi M. Sosik (Environmental Microbiology, 2025)
Small photosynthetic eukaryotes are a productive and dynamic component of marine planktonic communities. Here, we investigate how seasonal changes in the abundance of these primary producers relate to changes in their community composition at a coastal site on the Northeast US Shelf. We present a 9‐year time series of 18S rRNA sequencing data and identify gradual transitions within the pico‐ and nanoplankton community that occur repeatedly over the annual cycle. We compare these compositional changes to concurrent high‐resolution in situ flow cytometry measurements of eukaryotic phytoplankton abundance and division rate. We find that the Chlorophyta contribute a large proportion of the sequences in our samples and drive much of the seasonal variability within the small phytoplankton community. Across the time series, Bathycoccus , Micromonas and Picochlorum are the dominant genera, with the first being present year‐round, while Micromonas bravo and Picochlorum are representative of the summer community. We also find a strong winter Phaeocystis signal which might be leading to flow cytometry measurements of relatively large cells in the early spring. Our results provide fundamental knowledge of the taxonomic composition of the phytoplankton community on the Northeast US Shelf, improving our understanding of the region's diversity and compositional variability over time.

Steady-state P800 oxidation kinetics indicate that heliobacterial phototrophy is light-limited - Tayleigh Price; Hallie A. C. Chavez; Alysa J. L. Giudici; Alexus Acton; Meaghan Stafford; Steven P. Romberger (Photosynthesis Research, 2025)
The heliobacteria are a family of phototrophic bacteria known for their unique production of bacteriochlorophyll g and for their use of the simplest known Type I reaction center. In this work, we characterize P800 oxidation kinetics in whole cells of Heliomicrobium modesticaldum under the continuous illumination that is more consistent with in vivo conditions, an area of research that remains largely unexplored. When assayed at 800 nm, whole cells display a large bleaching immediately upon illumination by actinic light, corresponding to the production of P800 + . The initial bleaching typically reaches a maximum intensity at 10–30 ms, at which point a slower, partial recovery leads to a steady-state that is smaller than the initial bleaching. The effects of charged redox reagents, in particular ferric ammonium citrate, and the cytochrome bc complex inhibitor azoxystrobin, demonstrate that this recovery phase is due to forward donation to P800 + from cytochrome c . A steady-state kinetics analysis comparing the effects of actinic intensity on the rate of P800 oxidation to that of P700 oxidation in spinach chloroplasts and whole cells of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, suggest that the heliobacterial reaction center is inherently light-limited. In support of a light-limited model, light saturation profiles of untreated cells compared to those treated with ferric ammonium citrate indicated that only 32% of the P800 pool is oxidized during continuous illumination. Taken together, these results indicate that, in stark contrast to all other known phototrophs, phototrophy in the heliobacteria is light-limited.

Environmental and Geographic Conditions on the Breeding Grounds Drive Bergmannian Clines in Nightjars - Aaron A. Skinner; Alicia M. Korpach; Susanne Åkesson; Marja H. Bakermans; Erin M. Bayne; Thomas J. Benson; Giovanni Boano; R. Mark Brigham; Simon S. Christiansen; Greg J. Conway; Christina M. Davy; Ruben Evens; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2025)
Aim To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon Eastern whip‐poor‐will ( Antrostomus vociferus ), Common nighthawk ( Chordeiles minor ) and European nightjar ( Caprimulgus europaeus ). Methods We used GPS tracking and morphometric data to assess competing hypotheses explaining variation in body size for each species, based on their breeding ( n = 3388) and wintering ( n = 189) locations. Results All three species exhibited Bergmannian patterns in body size, providing the first evidence that nightjars conform to Bergmann's rule despite adaptations to severe environmental conditions. Environmental and geographic variables at breeding sites were stronger predictors of body size than wintering‐site variables. Although we found partial support for Bergmann's temperature regulation hypothesis, geographic variables, rather than specific environmental factors, emerged as the strongest predictors of body size variation. Main Conclusions Latitude and longitude correlated strongly with environmental variables and migratory distance; thus, these geographical variables likely encompass many factors that influence body size in nightjars. The present study is among the first to use tracking data from individual birds to understand how environmental pressures across the annual cycle are related to body size. Our findings highlight the critical role of geographic breeding‐ground factors in shaping Bergmannian patterns, offering robust evidence to support nearly two centuries of research since Bergmann's rule was first described in 1847.

Community‐informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife - Kyle D. Vincent; Jacqueline D. Litzgus; Steven J. Kell; Cory L. Kozmik; Angela Belleau; Jesse N. Popp (Conservation Biology, 2025)
Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies. Based on the concerns and interests of 2 Anishinaabek communities—Shawanaga First Nation (SFN) and Magnetawan First Nation (MFN)—we collaboratively aimed to fill knowledge gaps with a community‐informed approach in which Indigenous knowledge (IK) and Western science were used to investigate wildlife interactions with railways bisecting the 2 Traditional Territories in Ontario, Canada. To inform study design, First Nation community members were invited to share knowledge concerning wildlife–railway impacts in semistructured interviews. Weekly walking surveys were conducted in 3 field seasons along two 3.6‐km sections of railway in SFN and MFN during which locations of all wildlife observed alive or dead were recorded. We also deployed game cameras at 500‐m intervals along the railway survey areas. On walking surveys, we recorded 462 observations of individuals from 42 species, of which 76% were found dead. These findings complemented the shared IK that railways affect a wide variety of wildlife, often causing mortalities. Reptiles and amphibians were the most severely affected taxa, accounting for 87% of observed mortalities. Seven species at risk of extinction interacted with the railway, including 3 turtle species and one snake species, all of which were found dead on the railway tracks. Cameras recorded 43 wildlife species; most detections were of large and medium mammals, suggesting they frequently interact with the railway but may face lower mortality risks than herpetofauna in our study area. Ultimately, our study highlights the holistic outcomes that are possible through collaborative research that embraces complementary knowledge systems and indicates that reptile and amphibian populations may be particularly susceptible to railway mortality.

A retrospective comparison of [18F]FDG radiation dose following a transition from conventional to long axial field of view PET/CT - Wei-Ting Jacky Chen; William I. D. Rae; Peter L. Kench; Kathy P. Willowson; Dale L. Bailey; Elizabeth A. Bailey; Heidi Fearnside; Eleanor Kelliher; Steven R. Meikle (Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2025)
Long axial field of view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanners (> 1 m axial FOV) provide an order of magnitude higher system sensitivity compared with conventional scanners. This creates opportunities for significant radiation dose reductions for patients, without loss of diagnostic image quality or increased scan time. This study aimed to investigate changes in radiation dose received by patients undergoing whole-body [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT studies at a metropolitan hospital following the transition from the Siemens Biograph mCT (21.8 cm axial FOV) to the Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra LAFOV PET/CT (106 cm axial FOV). For the mCT and Quadra, 484 and 554 patient studies were reviewed, respectively. The radiation dose from the PET component was derived from the recorded FDG dose, calculated based on ICRP recommendations, and scaled to patient weight. The CT dose was derived from the dose-length product. The median effective dose from the PET component for the mCT and Quadra was 6.2 (IQR 5.5–6.9) and 2.9 (IQR 2.8–3.6) mSv, respectively, and 5.7 (IQR 5.1–6.5) and 2.8 (IQR 2.4–3.4) mSv, respectively, when scaled to patient weight. The median effective dose from the CT component for the mCT and Quadra was 7.7 (IQR 6.2–9.4) and 7.6 (IQR 5.9–9.4) mSv, respectively. The total median effective dose combining PET and CT components for the mCT and Quadra was 13.9 (IQR 12.4–15.7) and 10.5 (IQR 9.4–12.3) mSv, respectively, and 13.5 (IQR 12.4–15.0) and 10.3 (IQR 9.3–11.9) mSv, respectively, when scaled to patient weight. While the effective dose from PET was approximately halved due to reduced injected activity, the CT effective dose remained relatively unchanged and is now the dominant source of radiation dose to the patient for LAFOV PET/CT.

Neural Correlates of Inhibitory Control in Children: Evidence Using MRI and fNIRS - Leela Shah; Xin Zhou; Marissa Ann DiPiero; Jayse Merle Weaver; Corrina Frye; Steven R. Kecskemeti; Ruth Y. Litovsky; Andrew L. Alexander; Elizabeth M. Planalp; Douglas C. Dean (Brain Topography, 2025)
Inhibitory control (IC) develops in stages from infancy through adolescence and is associated with numerous developmental disorders and learning outcomes. This study examined how neural architecture – in particular myelination – underlies brain activation patterns observed during IC tasks in a sample of 28 children aged 4–10 years old. IC was observed using reaction times during go/no-go and flanker IC tasks. Myelination was measured using quantitative longitudinal relaxation rate (R1) mapping obtained from selected white matter regions of interest (ROIs). Brain activation was defined as task-related changes in hemoglobin oxygenation as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) averaged within ROIs. Results indicated that myelination in ROIs was higher in older children and fNIRS activation in frontal channels was significantly and positively associated with go/no-go mean reaction time. Myelination in the corona radiata and superior longitudinal fasciculus was positively associated with frontal fNIRS activation, while myelination was negatively associated with go/no-go and flanker mean reaction times across white matter ROIs. Overall, significance level notably varied across models. Independently of inhibitory control constructs, these regions may be of interest in future structure-function studies across development.

The essential role of large research vessels in marine ecosystem observations and ocean sustainability - Erin V. Satterthwaite; John C. Field; Andrea J. Fassbender; Gerardo Aceves‐Medina; Steven J. Bograd; Elliott L. Hazen; Nastassia V. Patin; Zachary Gold; Katherine A. Barbeau; Danie Kinkade; Adam Shepherd; Rasmus Swalethorp; et al. (Limnology and Oceanography, 2025)
Our understanding of marine ecosystems and ability to manage them sustainably has come from multidisciplinary observations made repeatedly over long periods of time. These long‐term ecosystem observations depend on the capabilities of large research vessels, which play an essential role in the collection of global ocean observations. Research vessels serve as large, stable platforms for collecting high volume samples from the surface to the seafloor that provide uniquely valuable in situ marine ecosystem information. Additionally, they serve as mobile laboratories enabling the collection, preservation, processing, and analysis of unique samples and data, such as chemical, biogeochemical, and biological parameters. Given their capacity for, and repeated use in, collecting comprehensive marine ecosystem observations—across geology, physics, chemistry, and biology—large research vessels provide insight into long‐term regional ecosystem dynamics. They also act as platforms‐of‐opportunity for testing, refining, and comparing technologies, enabling innovation and the evolution of the observing system. High‐quality observations from large research vessels serve as the backbone for many other components of the global ocean observing system through their use in calibrating autonomous sensors and predictive modeling. Moreover, large research vessels function as mobile, experiential training and exploration platforms that facilitate discovery, education, and collaboration. An effective, modular marine ecosystem observing system will depend on large research vessels to sustain and augment existing observing programs and to deploy, service, and validate the growing array of autonomous platforms that contribute to it. Achieving this vision will likely require maintaining and upgrading ship‐based infrastructure and personnel, integrating emerging technologies, leveraging the unique capabilities of large research vessels in conjunction with other platforms, strengthening collaborative partnerships, and building social capital for marine ecosystem observations through training, knowledge sharing, and effective governance.

Patterns of transcriptomic aging in the hippocampus of rhesus macaques highlight midlife transitions - Tanner J. Anderson; Marina M. Watowich; Kenneth L. Chiou; Elisabeth A. Goldman; Sam Peterson; Jordan A. Anderson; Noah Snyder-Mackler; Lucia Carbone; Steven G. Kohama; Kirstin N. Sterner (GeroScience, 2025)
Patterns of brain aging are generally conserved among primates; however, there is marked variation in the observed rate among individuals, species, and brain regions. The hippocampus is a region particularly susceptible to the aging process. To better understand how the hippocampus changes over the lifespan, we measured gene expression in 96 banked hippocampus samples from adult male and female rhesus macaques aged 3–35 years old. Importantly, our dataset included representation across adulthood allowing us to characterize age-related patterns in gene expression during midlife, a period often underrepresented in studies of aging. We used autoregressive integrated moving average models to examine age-associated changes in gene expression to identify 2679 differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05) that fit four broad patterns of expression: linearly upregulated or downregulated across age, and two clusters with nonlinear patterns. Importantly, the nonlinear clusters highlight transitions in expression trajectories centered around ~ 10 years of age (~ 30 years of age in humans) indicating an important period that may have a critical impact on hippocampal aging. Changes in gene expression variance across age found that genes in individuals > 20 years of age (> 50 years of age in humans) have greater variance in expression than individuals aged 10–20 years (FDR < 0.05). Collectively, our results highlight molecular changes occurring during midlife which may shape brain aging in longer lived primates and may offer insight into increased susceptibility to neurodegenerative disease in humans.

Forced Gas Convection for Uniform Freezing of Lyophilization Vials - Steven J. Burcat; Rohan P. Kadambi; Lorenzo Stratta; Richard D. Braatz; Roberto Pisano; Alexander H. Slocum; Bernhardt L. Trout (Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation, 2025)
Purpose Conventional shelf-freezing in pharmaceutical lyophilization suffers from batch variation and is potentially incompatible with emerging continuous lyophilization systems. This work presents a forced gas convective freezing chamber for suspended vials in cross-flow to improve the quality of the freezing process and meet the continuous lyophilization needs. Methods First, computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed to determine key process parameters. Then, physical chambers were built to meet these requirements. Sets of twenty 10R vials containing 3 mL of aqueous solution were frozen to characterize the per-vial heat transfer. Additionally, a novel nucleation technique was investigated where conditioned vials were exposed to an impulse of $$<$$ < $$-$$ - 30 $$^° $$ ∘ C gas. Finally, frozen vials were completely dried in 12 h in an attached vacuum chamber. Results The chambers conditioned vials from 25 $$^° $$ ∘ C to −1 $$^° $$ ∘ C in under 20 min, with final vial temperatures varying by less than 0.5 $$^° $$ ∘ C. The impulse technique induced nucleation in all vials within 30 s without significantly cooling them. After nucleation, the system accessed slow (0.05 g/min) and rapid (1.0 g/min) solidification rates, as well as post-solidification procedures including typical ramp and hold protocols. Dried vials had residual moisture below 2.5 wt% and showed no signs of collapse. Conclusions This freezing chamber was demonstrated to track gas temperature setpoints as low as −50 $$^° $$ ∘ C within ±1 $$^° $$ ∘ C and induce nucleation in all vials virtually simultaneously, enabling excellent control of the freezing process. The chamber’s cooling via forced convection and its available front and back faces make it compatible with integration into a continuous lyophilization system.

Clarifying the Taxonomy of the Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya Fringillina (Curtis) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) – An Analysis of Morphotypes - Denise C. Wawman; Abigail S. Bailey; Steven R. Fiddaman; Ben P. Jones; Nicholas Johnson; Adrian L. Smith (Acta Parasitologica, 2025)
Background The louse flies in the genus Ornithomya Latreille are avian ectoparasites. The patterns of alar microtrichia on the wings of the Ornithomyae are commonly used to help distinguish the various species, with the patterns in most species found to be constant between individuals. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina (Curtis) in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Isle of Man, is unusual in that the several patterns have been described. Consequently it has a complicated taxonomic history and there is some confusion about species identification. Methods Louse flies were collected by licensed bird ringers and an analysis of the simple morphological features, phenology and geographical distribution of these traits was performed. Results No significant differences were found between the three main types, and it was concluded that the differences were not due to sexual dimorphism and did not provide evidence that the different forms were separate species. Analysis of COX1 DNA sequences confirmed this result and proved that these are indeed morphotypes and not distinct species. There was no geographical separation between COX1 sequences from the United Kingdom and those from flies sampled in other parts of the world. The molecular analysis also suggested that Ornithomya bequaerti (Maa) and Ornithomya candida (Maa) may not be valid species, but represent morphotypes of O. fringillina . Conclusions The three patterns of alar microtrichia are morphotypes of a single species, Ornithomya fringillina. Further research is necessary to determine the status of some other species in the genus Ornithomya .

Climate Change Impacts on the Phenology of Laurentian Great Lakes Fishes - Morgan L. Piczak; Ava J. A. Sergio; Robert J. Lennox; Tys Theysmeyer; Jennfier E. Bowman; Jonathan D. Midwood; Steven J. Cooke (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Freshwater ecosystems around the world are increasingly impacted by climate change, yet there remains a lack of long‐term empirical data on how these changes are manifesting. In the Laurentian Great Lakes, a globally significant freshwater system, fish and their habitats are expected to be affected by warming water temperatures and increasing risks of species invasions. Despite these projections, relatively few studies have documented whether such shifts are already occurring. Our objective was to assess how climate change has influenced the community and migration phenology of native and non‐native fishes that use coastal wetlands in the Great Lakes. To do so, we analyzed local summer water temperatures and a 27‐year dataset (1997–2023) comprising arrivals of 16 fish species intercepted at the Cootes Paradise Marsh Fishway, a common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) exclusion barrier at the western end of Lake Ontario. Over the study period, we found that mean summer water temperatures increased by over 1°C, consistent with broader global warming trends. Using non‐metric multidimensional scaling, we observed a unidirectional shift in fish community structure over time, rather than cyclical fluctuations or stabilization, indicating sustained ecological change. Analyses on phenology revealed that first, peak, and last arrival dates occurred earlier over time, while the duration of presence at the Fishway decreased for both native and non‐native species. These results provide evidence that climate change is already altering the community and phenology of fishes in Great Lakes wetlands. More broadly, our findings contribute to the growing body of literature showing that climate‐driven phenological shifts are reshaping freshwater ecosystems globally, underscoring the need for adaptive, climate‐informed conservation and management strategies.

Integrating data to assess occupancy patterns of an endangered bumble bee - Kristen S. Ellis; Clint R. V. Otto; Larissa L. Bailey; Tamara A. Smith; Steven Choy; Lauren Hatch (Conservation Biology, 2025)
There is growing interest in integrating community science data with structured monitoring data to estimate changes in distribution patterns of imperiled species, including pollinators. However, significant challenges remain in determining how unstructured community science data should be incorporated into formal analyses of species distributions. We developed a dynamic framework for combining community science and structured monitoring data of bumble bees to estimate changes in occupancy of rusty‐patched bumble bees ( Bombus affinis ), a federally endangered species in the United States. We applied traditional metapopulation theory and accounted for imperfect detection to estimate site‐specific extirpation risk and colonization rates across the known distribution of B. affinis in the Upper Midwest (USA). Despite a 144% increase in presence‐only detections from 2017 to 2022, occupancy probabilities and the estimated number of occupied sites remained static or declined slightly across a 4‐state region during this period. Our results provide preliminary evidence that the probability of local extirpation risk of B. affinis increased in response to drought, but that effect was tempered with a high number of neighboring patches occupied by B. affinis (i.e., rescue effect). Our framework can be used by managers to track population recovery goals for B. affinis and other bumble bees of conservation concern. In addition, our study highlights the importance of accounting for imperfect detection and addressing spatial sampling biases in bumble bee monitoring efforts, particularly those for which a portion of the monitoring data are generated from community science projects.

Prevalence of cannabis and medication use by indices of residential urbanicity and deprivation among Ohio cancer patients - Theodore M. Brasky; Shieun Lee; Bella McBride; Alison M. Newton; Ryan D. Baltic; Theodore L. Wagener; Sara Conroy; John L. Hays; Erin E. Stevens; Anita Adib; Jessica L. Krok-Schoen (Cancer Causes & Control, 2025)
Purpose There is increasing interest in the use of cannabis products to alleviate symptom burden among cancer patients. Although data remain limited, some evidence suggests that state legalization of cannabis is associated with reduced opioid use. Indices of area-level social determinants of health may provide insights into the patterns of symptom-managing behaviors in the context of health equity. Methods Residential ZIP codes from 854 Ohio residents diagnosed with invasive cancer at an academic cancer center were used to assign rural–urban commuting area (RUCA) codes and social deprivation index (SDI) values. RUCA was categorized as metropolitan and non-metropolitan, and SDI was dichotomized at the median. Participants completed a one-time cannabis-focused questionnaire which included items on medications used to alleviate symptoms. Results The prevalence of self-reported cannabis (19% vs. 13%) and opioid use (30% vs. 21%) were higher among patients living in areas of higher social disadvantage vs. lower. No differences were observed for use of benzodiazepines or for any product by residential urbanicity. Conclusion Larger, multi-institutional studies with detailed measurement of cannabis and medications and an increased capacity to examine additional social determinants of health are needed to confirm and explain these descriptive findings.

Diagnosing coastal processes using machine learning and ocean buoyancy gliders - Robert L. Iles; Steven F. DiMarco; Gerardo Gold‐Bouchot; Anthony H. Knap (Limnology and Oceanography, 2025)
Ocean buoyancy gliders provide a comprehensive view of the water column, offering more than simply a snapshot of a single moment in time or space. In this study, we applied the established machine learning method, k‐means clustering, to a glider dataset collected in the summer of 2015 in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Clustering analysis of chromophoric dissolved organic matter and salinity revealed the physical structure of water masses, both vertically within the water column and horizontally along the shelf. Supplementary statistical analyses, including principal component analysis and ANOVA, of individual clusters confirmed the clusters were statistically distinct from one another and provided insights into the factors contributing to their differentiation. The clusters identified in the glider dataset represent water masses variously distinguished by river plumes, wind‐induced upwelling effects, shifts in currents, density‐induced stratification, and biological processes. This study demonstrates that applying machine learning clustering methods to subsurface glider data is a novel technique that enhances the analytical capabilities of both glider and other oceanographic datasets.

Cross‐Continental Analysis Shows That Disturbance Effects on Reptile Body Condition Do Not Predict Abundance Responses - Kristina J. Macdonald; Don A. Driscoll; Michael D. Craig; Robert A. Davis; Steven J. Hromada; C. M. Gienger; Lee A. Fitzgerald; Daniel J. Leavitt; Danielle K. Walkup; Rickard Abom; Adrian F. Wayne; Gordon R. Friend; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Ecological disturbances are discrete events that alter or transform the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of ecosystems. Disturbance can cause animal populations to decline and, according to the risk‐disturbance hypothesis and population collapse framework, these declines can be predicted by declines in animal body condition. However, no research has empirically examined the general relationship between body condition and abundance, nor their relationship in response to disturbance. We used a combined dataset representing 33 studies and > 42,000 observations of 75 species from Australia, New Zealand, Spain and the United States of America to test predictions relating to the relationship between reptile body condition and abundance. We first investigated the relationship at the site level and then used meta‐analytical models to test whether populations showed linked changes in abundance and body condition in response to disturbance. We further tested whether key environmental and species traits influenced this relationship and whether there was a time‐lagged effect of body condition responses on abundance. We found a positive relationship between mean reptile body condition and abundance at the site level. However, the relationship was largely lost when investigating population responses to disturbance. As such, our results provided no support for the risk‐disturbance hypothesis and limited support for the population collapse framework. Therefore, the impacts of disturbance on reptile body condition cannot be assumed to reflect or predict abundance responses. We provide a new conceptual framework that shows how disturbances can modify or uncouple the relationship between abundance and body condition by influencing underlying drivers, such as predation, competition and resource availability. Monitoring programs that infer population impacts based on changes in body condition should first confirm the relationship between these two variables in the relevant study system.

Decoupling of temperature and growth of white spruce at western treeline, Alaska, is unrelated to intrinsic water stress - Amy E. Miller; Adam Z. Csank; Michael P. Hannam; Rosemary L. Sherriff; Steven W. Leavitt (Ecology, 2025)
Late 20th century warming has weakened the relationship between temperature and growth in northern forests. This loss of sensitivity to temperature, often attributed to drought stress in warmer regions of the boreal forest, has also been observed in cool, mesic environments, where warming‐related growth declines are poorly understood. We used annually resolved ring‐width and carbon stable isotope (δ 13 C) chronologies from white spruce forest and woodland stands in southwest Alaska to examine tree responses to climate during a recent warming period (1970–2011). Trends in ring‐width index (RWI) varied by stand type: RWI increased in forests and woodlands in the first half of the record (1970–1990), but only woodlands continued that trend in the latter half (1991–2011). Warmer spring temperatures predicted increased RWI in both stand types, and warmer summer temperatures predicted decreased RWI in forests, but these relationships weakened through time. Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ 13 C), a frequent indicator of stomatal regulation of water loss, showed no coherent trend in either stand type but was positively associated with summer precipitation in forests, suggesting the potential for intermittent water limitation. Our results indicate that RWI and Δ 13 C have responded differently to climate through time and that these responses have been mediated by stand type.

Overlapping turbulent boundary layers in an energetic coastal sea - Arnaud F. Valcarcel; Craig L. Stevens; Joanne M. O'Callaghan; Sutara H. Suanda (Ocean Science, 2025)
Turbulent mixing properties were directly observed to understand the interactions and overlapping events of wind-forced and tidally forced boundary layers in a deep, weakly stratified coastal sea. Te-Moana-o-Raukawa / Cook Strait of Aotearoa / New Zealand is an 𝒪(200 m) deep, energetic strait, known to experience both strong tidal currents and high wind speeds. More than 𝒪(40 000) quality-controlled turbulence observations were obtained from an ocean glider equipped with a microstructure profiler and a current speed through water sensor. Tidal flows of 𝒪(1 m s−1) and wind speeds of 𝒪(10 m s−1) independently enhanced turbulent dissipation to ϵ=O(10-5Wkg-1) in bottom and surface mixed layers. Over a 4 d period, boundary-generated turbulence was evident in the interior water column on 10 occasions, enhancing interior diapycnal diffusivity levels by 5–35-fold, reaching Kz=𝒪(0.1–1 m2 s−1). In three instances, the surface and bottom mixed layers overlapped. These overlapping boundary layers were present in water depths 5-fold deeper than previously observed, which has implications for the vertical extent of material fluxes from the surface or seafloor. Interior stratification was transient, emerging from far-field advection of low-density surface water, and supported by vertical buoyancy fluxes that were episodically eroded by boundary-generated turbulence. Combining observations with one-dimensional General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) outputs, turbulence interactions in the interior were found to be modulated by wind, tides, and transient stratification fields, in turn influencing the vertical structure of sinks and sources of turbulent kinetic energy. Enhanced vertical transport toward the interior of the near-boundary shear-produced turbulence was found to erode interior stratification. The interplay between antecedent stratification, turbulence generation, and vertical transport allows boundary layers to interact and modulate the vertical structure of seawater properties in deep coastal passages.

Advancing ocean monitoring and knowledge for societal benefit: the urgency to expand Argo to OneArgo by 2030 - Virginie Thierry; Hervé Claustre; Orens Pasqueron de Fommervault; Nathalie Zilberman; Kenneth S. Johnson; Brian A. King; Susan E. Wijffels; Udaya T. V. S. Bhaskar; Magdalena Alonso Balmaseda; Mathieu Belbeoch; Marine Bollard; Jacqueline Boutin; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
The ocean plays an essential role in regulating Earth’s climate, influencing weather conditions, providing sustenance for large populations, moderating anthropogenic climate change, encompassing massive biodiversity, and sustaining the global economy. Human activities are changing the oceans, stressing ocean health, threatening the critical services the ocean provides to society, with significant consequences for human well-being and safety, and economic prosperity. Effective and sustainable monitoring of the physical, biogeochemical state and ecosystem structure of the ocean, to enable climate adaptation, carbon management and sustainable marine resource management is urgently needed. The Argo program, a cornerstone of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), has revolutionized ocean observation by providing real-time, freely accessible global temperature and salinity data of the upper 2,000m of the ocean (Core Argo) using cost-effective simple robotics. For the past 25 years, Argo data have underpinned many ocean, climate and weather forecasting services, playing a fundamental role in safeguarding goods and lives. Argo data have enabled clearer assessments of ocean warming, sea level change and underlying driving processes, as well as scientific breakthroughs while supporting public awareness and education. Building on Argo’s success, OneArgo aims to greatly expand Argo’s capabilities by 2030, expanding to full-ocean depth, collecting biogeochemical parameters, and observing the rapidly changing polar regions. Providing a synergistic subsurface and global extension to several key space-based Earth Observation missions and GOOS components, OneArgo will enable biogeochemical and ecosystem forecasting and new long-term climate predictions for which the deep ocean is a key component. Driving forward a revolution in our understanding of marine ecosystems and the poorly-measured polar and deep oceans, OneArgo will be instrumental to assess sea level change, ocean carbon fluxes, acidification and deoxygenation. Emerging OneArgo applications include new views of ocean mixing, ocean bathymetry and sediment transport, and ecosystem resilience assessment. Implementing OneArgo requires about $100 million annually, a significant increase compared to present Argo funding. OneArgo is a strategic and cost-effective investment which will provide decision-makers, in both government and industry, with the critical knowledge needed to navigate the present and future environmental challenges, and safeguard both the ocean and human wellbeing for generations to come.

An exploratory study of drawings as a tool to evaluate student understanding of the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus - Lydia Horne; Amanda Manzanares; Nurcan Atalan-Helicke; Shirley Vincent; Steven W. Anderson; Chelsie L. Romulo (Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2025)
As future decision-makers, students must develop interdisciplinary, systems thinking skills to make effective management decisions; however, systems thinking remains challenging for many students. Here, we use the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus as a framework to examine how drawings can help students cultivate systems thinking skills. Drawings can be tools to make implicit mental models of systems connections explicit for instructors to better comprehend student learning. Our goal was to understand how drawing can help students make connections across systems compared to using only verbal explanations. In 2021, we interviewed undergraduates, asking them to draw and verbally explain the FEW Nexus. Analysis revealed that student drawings showed an increase in the number of connections that half of students could describe when compared to verbal-only explanations. Instructors may benefit from this study by recognizing areas where students might struggle to understand FEW Nexus connections, where additional course emphasis is needed, and how drawings can help assess student learning.

Enhancing the potential of children’s agency to achieve global sustainability - Tammy L. Elwell; Laura Nahuelhual; Marta Silva Fernández; Julie A. Bianchini; Steven D. Gaines (Ambio, 2025)
Despite progress toward sustainability, it remains uncertain how we as a global society will make transformations needed at scale. We argue that intentionally involving children in sustainability efforts may catalyze promising changes in how we approach human-environmental crises. This involvement, however, entails much more than the traditional focus on exposing children to environmental education or sustainability learning. Here, we present a pathway where children move through incremental yet fluid stages, from rich experiences in nature in early childhood, to reflective activities, leadership development, and formal opportunities in sustainability governance in later childhood and adolescence. Each stage requires overcoming distinct barriers that vary across and within countries: we identify and discuss these main barriers, and suggest potential ways the sustainability sciences community can help to reduce them. We offer this proposed pathway as a first step toward ensuring young people’s involvement, agency, and stewardship in achieving global sustainability.

Significance of precise documentation of hosts and geospatial data of fungal collections, with an emphasis on plant‐associated fungi - Achala R. Rathnayaka; Danushka S. Tennakoon; Gareth E. B. Jones; Dhanushka N. Wanasinghe; D. Jayarama Bhat; A. K. Hasith Priyashantha; Steven L. Stephenson; Saowaluck Tibpromma; Samantha C. Karunarathna (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2025)
In taxonomy, precision of species collection data is a cornerstone for advancing research and its diverse applications. Despite the widespread recognition of the significance of these data, researchers have frequently neglected some important details in published taxonomic studies. Historically, fungal studies leaned heavily on the morphological delineation of taxa. In contrast, taxonomic methods currently employ a synthesis of a diverse combination of morpho‐molecular markers, chemical attributes and both ecological and geographic data. Even with these new methods, mycologists value the data derived from old fungal records as essential guides for current and future studies. Therefore, this underscores the importance of careful documentation of data on habits and habitats in parallel with fungal collection. While collecting specimens of fungi, it is important to record metadata such as sampling location, habitat (host/substrate), season (date or specific season) and physical and morphological information on the specimen itself. These datasets will provide a rich source of information for the taxonomy, ecology and conservation of fungal resources. Understanding fungal distribution patterns and the possible explanations for these patterns is a real challenge for conserving biodiversity, and the lack of data‐recording of specimens creates substantial obstacles. Accurate fungarium data are a basic source for understanding fungal distribution and patterns of richness and assessing red‐listed and invasive species. This paper explores the importance of additions to fungal data recording, emphasising fungal hosts and geographic locations. We also discuss the significant roles of seemingly insignificant details in fungal data recording to enhance the understanding of researchers about the ecological relationships of fungal species.

Domestic herbivore mobility and herd management at Bronze Age Politiko-Troullia, Cyprus - Suzanne E. Pilaar Birch; Mary Metzger; Elizabeth Ridder; Steven E. Falconer; Patricia L. Fall (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2025)
This study presents stable isotope analysis of carbon (δ 13 C) and oxygen (δ 18 O) from goat, sheep, and cattle teeth excavated from the Bronze Age village of Politiko- Troullia , Cyprus. The δ 18 O of local water sources and converted δ 18 O drinking water values are used to demonstrate the dietary inputs for goats as compared to those for sheep and cattle. We infer the browsing and grazing behavior of these taxa to reflect different herd management strategies implemented by agropastoral villages during the development of pre-urban Bronze Age society. The δ 13 C and δ 18 O values suggest higher mobility and a more diverse diet for goats in contrast to more constrained ranges and dietary supplementation for sheep and cattle. These conclusions augment our interpretations of animal management at Politiko- Troullia based on previous osteological and isotopic analysis of faunal remains from the site. We contextualize our findings with those of closely comparable faunal and isotopic studies of herd management at contemporaneous Bronze Age settlements.

Application of telemetry‐based fish habitat models to predict spatial habitat availability and inform ecological restoration - Sarah M. Larocque; Paul A. Bzonek; Jacob W. Brownscombe; Gillian K. Martin; Jill L. Brooks; Christine M. Boston; Susan E. Doka; Steven J. Cooke; Jonathan D. Midwood (Journal of Fish Biology, 2025)
Conservation decisions surrounding which fish habitats managers choose to protect and restore are informed by fish habitat models. As acoustic telemetry has allowed for improvements in our ability to directly measure fish positions year‐round, so too have there been opportunities to refine and apply fish habitat models. In an area with considerable anthropogenic disturbance, Hamilton Harbour in the Laurentian Great Lakes, we used telemetry‐based fish habitat models to identify key habitat variables, compare habitat associations among seasons, and spatially identify the presence distribution of six fish species. Using environmental data and telemetry‐based presence–absence from 2016 to 2022, random forest models were developed for each species across seasons. Habitat variables with the highest relative importance across species included fetch, water depth, and percentage cover of submerged aquatic vegetation. The presence probability of each species was spatially predicted for each season within Hamilton Harbour. Generally, species showed a spatial range expansion with greater presence probability in the fall and winter to include parts of the harbor further offshore, and a range contraction in the spring and summer toward the nearshore, sheltered areas, with summer having the most limited habitat availability. Greater habitat suitability was predicted in western Hamilton Harbour for the majority of species, whereas the east end was less suitable and may benefit from habitat restoration. These types of fish habitat models are highly flexible and can be used with a variety of data, not just telemetry, and should be considered as an additional tool for fish habitat and fisheries managers alike.

Composition and Functional Diversity of Juvenile Groundfish Assemblages in the California Current - Ryan Gasbarro; Jarrod A. Santora; Megan Cimino; Adena Schonfeld; Steven J. Bograd; Elliott L. Hazen; Brian K. Wells; John C. Field (Journal of Biogeography, 2025)
Aim Long‐term monitoring data at the biogeographic scale are essential for developing baselines of biodiversity patterns and tools to diagnose natural cycles, trends, and anomalous events to assess threats from climate change. However, studies using these data often limit their analyses to relatively few metrics that may not adequately capture the breadth of biodiversity. Here, we calculate a suite of compositional and functional biodiversity metrics—collectively comprising ecoscapes—to better resolve assemblage‐level responses to environmental variability and test the spatiotemporal lability of faunal biogeographic provinces. Location California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). Taxon Young‐of‐the‐year juvenile groundfish assemblages ( n = 45 taxa). Methods Species composition and abundance data from two long‐term fisheries‐independent surveys were collated with a functional trait database for pelagic taxa. Distinct assemblages were identified through cluster analysis. Compositional and functional alpha‐ and beta‐level biodiversity metrics were then calculated to characterise assemblage‐level biodiversity and to identify patterns of regional community composition and turnover in space and time. Results Ecoscapes revealed the assemblage structure, functional diversity, and turnover of juvenile groundfish from 1990 to 2023. Canonical CCLME biogeographic provinces were mostly supported, but with notable spatiotemporal variation and differences across compositional and functional diversity metrics. Highly productive (unproductive) years were associated with the widespread extent of assemblages characterised by high (low) biodiversity and abundance. Main Conclusions The differences between patterns of functional and compositional diversity of assemblages highlight the potential of ecoscapes to better resolve biogeographic patterns with promising applications for future studies. Ecoscapes may provide explicit links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and services, and additional insights into assemblage responses and resilience to environmental variability that can aid biodiversity monitoring and rapidly disseminate management‐relevant information in a changing climate.

BioTIME 2.0: Expanding and Improving a Database of Biodiversity Time Series - Maria Dornelas; Laura H. Antão; Amanda E. Bates; Viviana Brambilla; Jonathan M. Chase; Cher F. Y. Chow; Ada Fontrodona‐Eslava; Anne E. Magurran; Inês S. Martins; Faye Moyes; Alban Sagouis; Samuel Adu‐Acheampong; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025)
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R package (BioTIMEr) to facilitate use of the database. Main Types of Variables Included The database is composed of one main data table containing the abundance records and 11 metadata tables. The data are organised in a hierarchy of scales where 11,989,233 records are nested in 1,603,067 sample events, from 553,253 sampling locations, which are nested in 708 studies. A study is defined as a sampling methodology applied to an assemblage for a minimum of 2 years. Spatial Location and Grain Sampling locations in BioTIME are distributed across the planet, including marine, terrestrial and freshwater realms. Spatial grain size and extent vary across studies depending on sampling methodology. We recommend gridding of sampling locations into areas of consistent size. Time Period and Grain The earliest time series in BioTIME start in 1874, and the most recent records are from 2023. Temporal grain and duration vary across studies. We recommend doing sample‐level rarefaction to ensure consistent sampling effort through time before calculating any diversity metric. Major Taxa and Level of Measurement The database includes any eukaryotic taxa, with a combined total of 56,400 taxa. Software Format csv and. SQL.

Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms - Kevin F. A. Darras; Rodney A. Rountree; Steven L. Van Wilgenburg; Anna F. Cord; Frederik Pitz; Youfang Chen; Lijun Dong; Agnès Rocquencourt; Camille Desjonquères; Patrick Mauritz Diaz; Tzu‐Hao Lin; Théophile Turco; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025)
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this gap, we created the Worldwide Soundscapes project, a collaborative network and growing database comprising metadata from 416 datasets across all realms (terrestrial, marine, freshwater and subterranean). Location Worldwide, 12,343 sites, all ecosystem types. Time Period 1991 to present. Major Taxa Studied All soniferous taxa. Methods We synthesise sampling coverage across spatial, temporal and ecological scales using metadata describing sampling locations, deployment schedules, focal taxa and audio recording parameters. We explore global trends in biological, anthropogenic and geophysical sounds based on 168 selected recordings from 12 ecosystems across all realms. Results Terrestrial sampling is spatially denser (46 sites per million square kilometre—Mkm 2 ) than aquatic sampling (0.3 and 1.8 sites/Mkm 2 in oceans and fresh water) with only two subterranean datasets. Although diel and lunar cycles are well sampled across realms, only marine datasets (55%) comprehensively sample all seasons. Across the 12 ecosystems selected for exploring global acoustic trends, biological sounds showed contrasting diel patterns across ecosystems, declined with distance from the Equator, and were negatively correlated with anthropogenic sounds. Main Conclusions PAM can inform macroecological studies as well as global conservation and phenology syntheses, but representation can be improved by expanding terrestrial taxonomic scope, sampling coverage in the high seas and subterranean ecosystems, and spatio‐temporal replication in freshwater habitats. Overall, this worldwide PAM network holds promise to support cross‐realm biodiversity research and monitoring efforts.

Machine learning (ML) on structural MRI data shows high potential for classifying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression, but the specific contribution of brain regions, demographics, and proteinopathy remains unclear. Using Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) data, we applied an extreme gradient-boosting algorithm and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values to classify cognitively normal (CN) older adults, those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD dementia patients. Features included structural MRI, CSF status, demographics, and genetic data. Analyses comprised one cross-sectional multi-class classification (CN vs. MCI vs. AD dementia, n = 568) and two longitudinal binary-class classifications (CN-to-MCI converters vs. CN stable, n = 92; MCI-to-AD converters vs. MCI stable, n = 378). All classifications achieved 70–77% accuracy and 61–83% precision. Key features were CSF status, hippocampal volume, entorhinal thickness, and amygdala volume, with a clear dissociation: hippocampal properties contributed to the conversion to MCI, while the entorhinal cortex characterized the conversion to AD dementia. The findings highlight explainable, trajectory-specific insights into AD progression.

Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory decline - Maha Wybitul; Nicolas Langer; Christoph Hock; Anton Gietl; Valerie Treyer; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald-Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; William Jagust; John Q. Trojanowski; Arthur W. Toga; et al. (GeroScience, 2025)
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation (“high Aβ accumulators”) were analyzed using a voxel-wise approach. Associations of APOE genotype and memory decline with Aβ accumulation and GM atrophy were examined separately for each neuroimaging modality, controlling for baseline Aβ levels and diagnosis. Alternatively, the effect of baseline diagnosis, while controlling for memory decline, was investigated. A multimodal analysis evaluated interactions between genotype, memory decline, and GM atrophy on Aβ accumulation. High Aβ accumulators displayed extensive Aβ pathology predominantly in the medial orbito-frontal cortex, cingulate cortex, and precuneus, along with GM atrophy in temporal, occipital, orbito-frontal, and parietal areas. ɛ4 carriers with memory decline exhibited greater Aβ accumulation and GM atrophy in selective regions compared to non-carriers with memory decline, while no genotype difference was observed in individuals without decline. No interaction effect was observed for MCI diagnosis. Regional associations between the two biomarkers were similarly dependent on genotype and memory decline. ɛ4 carriers exhibiting memory decline present an accelerated neurobiological pattern at predementia stages, supporting early ɛ4 carrier monitoring and interventions in this at-risk group. Importantly, memory decline might be more informative than MCI regarding AD pathology progression emphasizing the importance of repeated cognitive assessments.

Pediatric Cardiovascular Multiscale Modeling using a Functional Mock-up Interface - Ellen E. Garven; Ethan Kung; Randy M. Stevens; Amy L. Throckmorton (Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2025)
Purpose Computational models of the cardiovascular system continue to increase in complexity. As more elements of the physiology are captured in multiscale models, there is a need to efficiently integrate subsystems. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a coupling methodology, called functional mock-up interface (FMI), as applied to multiscale cardiovascular modeling. Methods The multiscale model is composed of two subsystems: a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled to a lumped parameter model (LPM). The LPM is packaged using the FMI standard and imported into the CFD subsystem using an FMI co-simulation architecture. The functionality of an FMI coupling was demonstrated in a univentricular parallel circulation by means of compatible tools, including ANSYS CFX and Python. Predicted pressures and flows were evaluated in comparison with clinical data and a previously developed computational model. Results The two models exchanged pressure and flow data between their boundaries at each timestep, demonstrating sufficient inter-subsystem communication. The models recreated pressures and flows from clinical measurements and a patient-specific model previously published. Conclusion FMI integrated with ANSYS CFX is an effective approach for interfacing cardiovascular multiscale models as demonstrated by the presented univentricular circulatory model. FMI offers a modular approach towards tool integration and is an advantageous strategy for modeling complex systems.

Tundra Plant Canopies Gradually Close Over Three Decades While Cryptogams Persist - Katlyn R. Betway‐May; William A. Gould; Sarah C. Elmendorf; Jeremy L. May; Robert D. Hollister; Steven F. Oberbauer; Amy Breen; Benjamin J. Crain; Ana Maria Sanchez Cuervo; Marilyn D. Walker; Donald A. Walker (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Global climate change phenomena are amplified in Arctic regions, driving rapid changes in the biota. Here, we examine changes in plant community structure over more than 30 years at two sites in arctic Alaska, USA, Imnavait Creek and Toolik Lake, to understand long‐term trends in tundra response to changing climate. Vegetation cover was sampled every 4–7 years on permanent 1 m 2 plots spanning a 1 km 2 grid using a point‐frame. The vascular plant canopies progressively closed at both locations. Canopy cover, defined here as an encounter of a vascular plant above the ground surface, increased from 63% to 91% at Imnavait Creek and from 63% to 89% at Toolik Lake. Both sites showed steady increases in maximum canopy height, increasing by approximately 50% (8 cm). While cover and height increased to some extent for all vascular plant growth forms, deciduous shrubs and graminoids changed the most. For example, at Imnavait Creek the cover of graminoids more than tripled (particularly in wet meadow plots), increasing by 237%. At Toolik Lake the cover of deciduous shrubs more than doubled (particularly in moist acidic plots), increasing by 145%. Despite the steady closing of the plant canopy, cryptogams (lichens and mosses) persisted; in fact, the cover of lichens increased. These results call into question the dominant dogma that cryptogams will decline with increases in vascular plant abundance and demonstrate the resilience of these understory plants. In addition to overall cover, the diversity of vascular plants increased at one site (Imnavait Creek). In contrast to much of the Arctic, summer air temperatures in the Toolik Lake region have not significantly increased over the 30+ year sampling period; however, winter temperatures increased substantially. Changes in vegetation community structure at Imnavait Creek and Toolik Lake are likely the result of winter warming.
