Many weak and few strong links: the importance of link strength distributions for stabilising patterns in competition networksNARA Subscribed
Ecological networks tend to contain many weak and only a few strong links. Furthermore, link strengths are often patterned within a network in ways that enhance system stability considerably, increasing the ability of the system to return to equilibrium after a perturbation. However, little attention has been given to the relation between the skewed “many weak and few strong links” distribution and the stabilising effect of pa...
Parasites play a critical yet understudied role in Arctic ecosystems, particularly within key subsistence species such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). As the Arctic undergoes rapid climate-driven change, establishing baseline parasite biodiversity is essential for monitoring ecological shifts and anticipating emerging health and conservation concerns. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of Arct...
Technical mitigation measures to reduce the bycatch of sharks: there is no silver bulletNARA Subscribed
Incidental catch (bycatch) of sharks in commercial fisheries is driving global population declines. In this review we assess the efficacy of a comprehensive list of technical bycatch mitigation measures for all major commercial fishing gears. We structured our review around the three stages of capture where opportunities exist to mitigate bycatch: preventing capture; increasing escape probability; and decreasing at-vessel/post...
Genetic ancestry proportion influences risk of adverse events from tuberculosis treatment in BrazilNARA Subscribed
Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is highly effective, but response to therapy varies by geography and population subgroups. We assessed differences in TB treatment response in a representative and heterogeneous Brazilian population. We estimated genetic ancestry according to major genetic ancestry groups (African, European, and Amerindian) in the Regional Prospective Observational Research in Tuberculosis (RePORT)-Brazil cohort usi...
Fish Assemblage Shift Following Abrupt Seagrass Loss in a Southwest Florida Tidal CreekNARA Subscribed
Phase shifts can occur in ecosystems because of external stressors. Such transitions from one state (e.g., clear water, seagrass) to another (e.g., phytoplankton blooms, bare substrate) continue to be documented worldwide. In estuaries, stressors related to urban and suburban development are often implicated in phase shifts, including altered hydrology and eutrophication. Tidal creeks may be especially prone to phase shifts as...
