Symbiodiniaceae and Bacterial Microbiome Dynamics Differentially Impact the Survival of Dominant Reef‐Flat Porites CoralsNARA Subscribed
Coral reefs face significant threats across the globe, prompting a surge in restoration efforts aimed at mitigating their global decline. The health, resilience, and adaptability of corals are greatly influenced by their microbial communities, and while the response of coral microbiomes to many environmental stressors has been extensively studied, less is known about their natural dynamics following transplantation, which is a...
Mixed effect estimation in deep compartment models: Variational methods outperform first-order approximationsNARA Subscribed
This work focusses on extending the deep compartment model (DCM) framework to the estimation of mixed-effects. By introducing random effects, model predictions can be personalized based on drug measurements, enabling the testing of different treatment schedules on an individual basis. The performance of classical first-order (FO and FOCE) and machine learning based variational inference (VI) algorithms were compared in a simul...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Maladaptation and phenotypic mismatch in hatchery‐reared Atlantic salmon Salmo salar released in the wildNARA Subscribed
Changes in body shape, fluctuating asymmetry ( FA ) and crypsis were compared among Atlantic salmon Salmo salar fry kept as controls in captivity and those released and subsequently recaptured in the wild according to a before‐after‐control‐impact ( BACI ) design. Hatchery fish that survived in the wild became more cryptic and displayed a much lower incidence of fin erosion and of asymmetric individuals than control fish kept...
Temporal changes in kin structure through a population cycle in a territorial bird, the red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticusNARA Subscribed
Populations of red grouse ( Lagopus lagopus scoticus ) undergo regular multiannual cycles in abundance. The ‘kinship hypothesis’ posits that such cycles are caused by changes in kin structure among territorial males producing delayed density‐dependent changes in aggressiveness, which in turn influence recruitment and regulate density. The kinship hypothesis makes several specific predictions about the levels of kinship, aggres...
Water resources management in the Aral Basin: a river basin management model for the Syr DaryaNARA Subscribed
The Aral Sea environmental crisis has been created by poor water management in the river basins of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. Nearly all the flow is abstracted for ailing irrigation schemes in the upper and middle basins, for massive river basin transfer schemes, or is lost to evaporation and seepage from reservoirs and canals. The only solution to the crisis in the lower deltas is to allow more water to flow to them. The pa...
