Climate change is a major threat to biodiversity, and migratory animals are particularly vulnerable, due partly to their reliance upon good resource availability across a network of sites at specific times. Migrants perform vital ecosystem functions, transferring significant resources across large spatial scales, but the impacts of climate change on the ability of individuals to complete these journeys are poorly studied. Coll...
Bacterial wilt or brown rot caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is among the most destructive diseases of potato in tropical highlands worldwide. There are no completely wilt-resistant varieties, but growers can reduce losses by planting partially resistant or tolerant potatoes. We screened the popular tropical potato cv. ‘Granola’ for bacterial wilt resistance under controlled conditions. Granola plants inoculated with high dose...
Eutrophication and Warming Drive Algal Community Shifts in Synchronised Time Series of Experimental LakesNARA Subscribed
Lake ecosystems are increasingly impacted by eutrophication and climate change. Whole‐lake experiments have provided ecosystem‐scale insights into the effects of freshwater stressors, yet these are constrained to the duration of monitoring programmes. Here, we leveraged multidecadal monitoring records and century‐scale paleogenetic reconstructions for experimentally fertilised and unmanipulated lakes in the IISD Experimental L...
Rationale Psilocybin shows promise for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. However, insight into its acute effects on cognition is lacking. Given the significant role of executive functions in daily life and treatment efficacy, it is crucial to evaluate how psilocybin influences these cognitive domains. Objectives This meta-analysis aims to quantify the acute effects of psilocybin on executive functions and attention, while e...
A horizon scan of biological conservation issues for 2025NARA Subscribed
The Breeding Bird Survey of the United KingdomNARA Subscribed
Motivation Information on species' population trends is essential to assess species' conservation status, make informed environmental decisions and ultimately reduce biodiversity loss. Robust population trends require a long‐term monitoring programme, often using citizen scientists, that ideally generates representative and unbiased data from the study area. Here we present the dataset of the Breeding Bird Survey, the main sch...
