Complex landscapes are challenging to study because both the higher level contextual and interacting lower level mechanistic processes underpinning their ecological characteristics occur simultaneously. However, food‐web structures can provide process insight in such landscapes by identifying these processes in specific contexts. Here, we used stable isotopes to identify spatially separate resources and infer resource flows un...

This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...

The 4Rs of nutrient management is an initiative to balance economics with sustainability. The objective was to evaluate individual and stacked 4R practices on potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) profitability. Treatments included all combinations of two nitrogen (N) sources (urea or polymer coated urea [PCU]), two rates (82 or 100%), and/or two timing/placements (at emergence or split-applied). Gross income and net profit were dete...

Wildlife conflicts require robust quantitative data on incidence and impacts, particularly among species of conservation and cultural concern. We apply a multi-assay framework to quantify predation in a southeastern Australian scenario where complex management implications and calls for predator culling have grown despite a paucity of data on seabird predation by recovering populations of long-nosed fur seals ( Arctocephalus f...

Purpose Niclosamide is approved as an oral anthelminthic, but its low oral bioavailability hinders its medical use requiring high drug exposure outside the gastrointestinal tract. An optimized solution of niclosamide for nebulization and intranasal administration using the ethanolamine salt has been developed and tested in a Phase 1 trial. In this study we investigate the pulmonary exposure of niclosamide following administrat...
