Context matters: emotional responses to urban greening interventions depend on city settingNARA Subscribed
Urban green spaces deliver a remarkable range of human health and well-being benefits, and there is substantial, global effort into incorporating urban greening into the design of cities. However, intense competition for space in cities means small interstitial gaps in the urban fabric are being used for many contemporary green spaces, such as planter boxes or raised garden beds. These small urban greening interventions have b...
A Review of a Decade of Anadromous Salmonid Hatchery (And Stocking) Research: Insights for Policy, Management and a Changing ClimateNARA Subscribed
Hatcheries and stocking programmes have long been a cornerstone of fisheries management, seen as tools for fisheries enhancement and/or conservation of threatened populations. Their use draws controversy, however, from a growing body of research over the last 50 years suggesting that stocking can have negative consequences for wild stocks, and yet remains valued in many contexts. This study systematically reviews a decade (201...
Muscle spindle receptors and their impact on Parkinson´s disease and Cerebral Palsy subjectsNARA Subscribed
In some neurological conditions, like Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Cerebral Palsy (CP), as well as with ageing, muscle spindles have been mentioned as participating in the pathological response of observed muscles. The aim of this review has therefore been to examine what is known about muscle spindle receptors, their function and how they are involved in regulating precise muscle movement in relation to these two conditions....
Integrated modeling to achieve global goals: lessons from the Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land-use, and Energy (FABLE) initiativeNARA Subscribed
Humanity is challenged with making progress toward global biodiversity, freshwater, and climate goals, while providing food and nutritional security for everyone. Our current food and land-use systems are incompatible with this ambition making them unsustainable. Papers in this special feature introduce a participatory, integrated modeling approach applied to provide insights on how to transform food and land-use systems to su...
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and...
Comprehensive analysis of epigenetic clocks reveals associations between disproportionate biological ageing and hippocampal volumeNARA Subscribed
The concept of age acceleration, the difference between biological age and chronological age, is of growing interest, particularly with respect to age-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Whilst studies have reported associations with AD risk and related phenotypes, there remains a lack of consensus on these associations. Here we aimed to comprehensively investigate the relationship between five recognised meas...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Anthropogenic activities are increasingly threatening aquatic biodiversity, especially anadromous species. Monitoring and conservation measures are thus required to protect, maintain and restore imperilled populations. While many species can be surveyed using traditional capture and visual census techniques, species that use riverine habitats in a less conspicuous manner, such as sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus , can be more ch...
