Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019NARA Subscribed
Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and whales occurred year‐round. The total number of (on‐ and off‐effort) sightings and s...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Adverse childhood experiences, adult adiposity, and risk of young-onset breast cancer subtypes in a population-based case-control studyNARA Subscribed
Purpose Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are hypothesized to increase breast cancer risk via social and physiological pathways, yet associations between ACEs and young-onset breast cancer (BC) subtypes–and potential mediators (e.g., adiposity) of these associations–are largely unstudied. We sought to evaluate associations between ACEs and young-onset BC molecular subtypes, and the potential mediating effects of adiposity,...
Evaluating past and future contributions of conservation programs to species recoveryNARA Subscribed
Impact evaluation of conservation actions is a crucial step in global efforts to curb the biodiversity crisis. Through robust impact evaluation, practitioners can assess the effectiveness of conservation strategies and optimize the use of limited resources. Despite a proliferation of methods and tools for evaluating conservation impact, no standardized method exists to assess and compare the impact, and global contribution, of...
Molecular Passports for Ex Situ Seed Donors: Enhanced Genetic Monitoring for Plant ConservationNARA Subscribed
To maintain evolutionary potential, genetic diversity, the raw material upon which natural selection acts, must be conserved. As such, ex situ seed collections remain invaluable repositories of genetic diversity. However, questions remain regarding the degree to which collections preserve genetic diversity. A molecular passport, a genetic record sampled from an individual, geo‐referenced maternal seed donor, can complement tra...
