Assessing shortnose sturgeon response to estuarine dredging in the Savannah River using a before-after control-impact (BACI) approachNARA Subscribed
Estuaries are productive ecosystems that support diverse aquatic species and human economies through fisheries, recreation, and navigation. However, coastal development and dredging have altered the ecological processes of estuarine habitats. In the Savannah River estuary, the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) deepened the river’s navigational channel by dredging to amplify vessel commerce. The endangered shortnose stur...
Making palaeoclimatology research policy‐relevant: Insights and experience from the DECADAL ProjectNARA Subscribed
Quaternary palaeoclimatology uniquely provides insights and new evidence about climate variability trends and extremes prior to the instrumental record; yet, its knowledge is rarely integrated into governmental decision‐making. This opinion piece shares lessons and experience from the UKRI‐funded DECADAL project, which bridges palaeoclimate science and policy through co‐production with UK climate services and policy institutio...
Introduction Continuous wave (CW) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used in skeletal muscle tissue hemodynamic and respiratory research utilizing fixed light scattering assumptions. Purpose Compare reproducibility and technical characteristics of CW-NIRS against frequency-domain (FD)-NIRS, which allows for intra-individual scattering correction. Methods Muscle blood flow (mBF) and oxygen uptake ( $${\text{m}\dot{\tex...
The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
The late Early Miocene site of Buluk, Kenya, has yielded a rich mammalian fauna comprised of about 30 species in 20 genera, notably including a stem cercopithecoid and a range of primitive hominoids. This temporal interval is poorly represented in Africa but is important because it coincides with the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO), a previous period of global warming tied to a carbon excursion. As the only late Early Miocene f...
Variability and uncertainty of data from genotoxicity test guidelines: what we know and why it mattersNARA Subscribed
This review comprehensively examines the variability and uncertainty associated with test guideline (TG)-conform genotoxicity data and explores the respective implications for the integration of non-animal-methods (NAMs) into regulatory frameworks. Historical amendments to OECD TGs are mapped to reveal the method’s evolution that improves the scientific quality of the data but also explains data heterogeneity within available...
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...
Anthropogenic phosphorus (P) inputs are rapidly altering terrestrial P cycling through plant – soil – microbial interactions; however, global patterns and underlying mechanisms driving these changes remain poorly understood. By performing a global meta‐analysis of 1315 observations from 176 studies across diverse natural terrestrial ecosystems, we found that P addition increased P concentrations in foliage, stems, roots, and l...
