Prevalence of haemosporidian parasites in raptors in rehabilitation centers across the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Avian haemosporidians are common vector-transmitted parasites that infect birds. Although avian haemosporidians have been studied extensively in songbirds, less is known about haemosporidian prevalence in raptors, particularly in the United States. We used molecular methods to test blood samples collected from raptors at five wildlife rehabilitation centers across the United States for avian haemosporidians. We identified para...
Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of extreme precipitation is critical for assessing hydroclimatic risks in mountainous regions. This study investigates long‐term trends and variability of extreme precipitation across the northwestern Himalayas, encompassing Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, using high‐resolution CHIRPS data validated against station observations and a suite of ETCCDI (Expert Team on Climate Change Det...
A substantial literature has developed on facultative endosymbionts of insects, often portrayed as having large effects on their hosts, ranging from mutualistic to parasitic. The aphid endosymbiont Regiella insecticola occurs naturally in Myzus persicae and has potential biocontrol applications. Here, we examined the effects of native Regiella in two clones of M. persicae from Australia collected two decades apart, to assess w...
Impact of deforestation on runoff dynamics in the Wardha River sub-basin: a decadal analysis and future projectionsNARA Subscribed
Deforestation and urban expansion substantially alter hydrological processes by accelerating runoff, reducing groundwater recharge, and increasing flood risks. The current study assessed runoff dynamics in the Wardha River sub-basin from 2010 to 2020 using the NRCS-CN method, with land-use/land-cover (LULC) and rainfall inputs processed on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and validated against observed discharge. During...
Increased Retention of Litter‐Derived Organic Carbon With Increasing Initial Carbon Content in Temperate Agricultural SoilsNARA Subscribed
Stabilized soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual plays a crucial role in long‐term atmospheric CO 2 sequestration. The organic carbon in the fine silt and clay size fraction (OC fine ) is typically mineral‐associated and thus relatively stable. However, the SOC saturation concept suggests that the OC fine has limited capacity for additional carbon (C) storage, thereby constraining further C sequestration. Low‐OC and fine‐textured...
