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...
Rapid expansion of insecticide resistance in Acyrthosiphon kondoi and opportunities to improve chemical and biological controlNARA Subscribed
The bluegreen aphid ( Acyrthosiphon kondoi ) is a global pest of pasture and legume crops, damaging plants through feeding and the transmission of plant viruses. Since 2018, Australian growers have reported insecticide control failures involving A. kondoi , with subsequent bioassays confirming the first cases of insecticide resistance in this species worldwide. To better inform management strategies, we conducted a surveillanc...
The impact of acidification on resource competition between native (Faxonius virilis) and non-native (Faxonius rusticus) crayfishNARA Subscribed
One of the most prevalent changes that aquatic ecosystems face due to climate change is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels resulting in acidification. This study was aimed at understanding how acidification alters behavioral characteristics and competition of two keystone species of crayfish: virile (Faxonius virilis) which were considered native and rusty (Faxonius rusticus) which were considered non-native. Si...
The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...
An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate speciesNARA Subscribed
The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure. The population of bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, experienced long...
Dryland ecosystems cover 41% of Earth's land surfaces, account for 44% of cultivated lands and 60% of food sources, and make large contributions to the global water and carbon cycles. However, these ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented extremes including heatwaves, floods, and droughts as well as hotter temperatures and often declining water resource availability. These ecosystems are some of the most challenging to monit...
Purpose of Review Radiotherapy serves as a palliative option for alleviating cancer pain but can also elicit chest wall pain following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The etiology of chest wall pain remains unclear but may relate to SBRT effects on normal ribs and responses from activated osteoclasts. This review explores potential mechanisms and treatment strategies for this increasingly common complication for patient...
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...
Facilitation in plant communities – special issue editorialNARA Subscribed
Ecological seasonality describes the dynamic adaptation of species to changes in the biotic community and suggests predators should alter space use synchronously with seasonal prey availability. We assessed seasonal space use states (i.e., periods of similar movement and resource use) of mainland gray wolves ( Canis lupus ), moose ( Alces alces ), and white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) on the Grand Portage Indian Res...
Dental caries (DC) is the most prevalent chronic disease. Previous studies have revealed negative associations between DC prevalence and both drinking water fluoride concentration (F) and socioeconomic status but further predictors, notably drinking water calcium, have been little explored, particularly in the UK. Therefore, this study employed multiple linear regression (MLR) to model the dependency of children’s DC on all th...
