Semi‐Natural Habitats Buffer the Effects of Crop Diversification on Arthropod Pest Control Services in Agricultural LandscapesNARA Subscribed
Crop diversification is a promising strategy to strengthen pest control services in agricultural landscapes. Diversifying crops may limit pests through host crop dilution or by enhancing top‐down control by their enemies. However, crop diversification may also benefit generalist pests through higher resource continuity. Using a large‐scale dataset encompassing 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we assessed the impact of lands...
Introduction Ospreys ( Pandion haliaetus ) are well-known sentinels of aquatic ecosystem health and are indicators of both environmental contaminants and fish stocks. The Chesapeake Bay supports one of the largest osprey breeding populations in the world, but recent studies have documented declining reproductive performance and increasing food stress in some portions of the estuary. Methods We monitored osprey nests (N = 571)...

Crop mixtures: yield responses to climate and management and impacts on seed and soil chemical composition in a Scottish-based studyNARA Subscribed
Introduction Crop mixtures can be an important part of the toolkit for maintaining crop production while addressing the climate and nature crises. However, uncertainties around some issues may prevent their uptake. Research question This study addressed several uncertainties, specifically the response of mixture yields to climate and management, and the impacts of mixed cropping on seed chemical composition, soil carbon and nu...
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hematologic malignancy patients and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Mold cholecystitis has rarely been described. We present a case of disseminated Lomentospora prolificans , that had recrudescence of symptoms with acute cholecystitis. Treatment included a temporary cholecystostomy and administration of the novel antifungal f...
Radon is an established lung carcinogen, but more research is needed to inform whether area-based measures of radon exposure reflect underlying cancer risk. This study, the first of its kind in the UK, aimed to investigate the association between a nationwide indicative radon atlas and lung cancer risk in Northern Ireland, a region in which lung cancer screening programmes are under design. A population-based case–control stud...
Distributional patterns and habitat associations of sturgeon chub in western Missouri River tributaries of South DakotaNARA Subscribed
There is a growing body of literature that suggests riverine fish are some of the most threatened taxa on a global scale. Similarly, the literature suggests less‐altered tributaries may offer refugia for large‐river specialists. The greater Mississippi River basin, including the Missouri River system, has been subjected to anthropogenic changes in flow, habitat fragmentation and turbidity, leading to declines in multiple nativ...
We evaluated the influence of atmospheric river (AR) precipitation and event frequency on radial growth patterns of old‐growth Jeffrey pine ( Pinus jeffreyi ) and sugar pine ( Pinus lambertiana ) trees located in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California, USA. Annual (September–August) precipitation derived from landfalling AR events between 32°N and 33°N during 1960–2020 accounts for 35.9% of the total rainfall but is...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Purpose In Australia, cervical screening is usually offered face-to-face through primary care. As self-collection offers flexibility in how and where screening can be accessed, we assessed participant preferences for flexible screening models. Methods We recruited women and people with a cervix aged 24–74 years into a national survey (December 2023–April 2024) via a paid Meta campaign and community networks. Sociodemographic f...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
