Intermittent, Double Estuarine Turbidity Maximum in a Mesotidal Estuary with Low Freshwater InputNARA Subscribed
The Estuarine Turbidity Maximum (ETM) is a biogeochemical hotspot in estuaries that regulates ecosystem health by amplifying estuarine water filtering. Convergence of elevated turbidity in an ETM is due to the intersection of repeated sediment resuspension and physical characteristics of a system. ETM formation depends on various tidal and freshwater conditions, making its ecological impact difficult to predict. Understanding...
Characterising the mycobiome of healthy and wounded reef sharks in the Seychelles archipelagoNARA Subscribed
Sharks frequently sustain cutaneous injuries throughout their lifetimes, yet subsequent infections are surprisingly rare, and wounds appear to heal rapidly. This has led scientists to explore the potential mechanisms behind shark skin’s putative ‘superior’ capacity for fending off infection. Interestingly, research has turned to the skin-associated microbiome for the answer. Although exploration of the bacterial microbiome has...
A cross‐site comparison reveals limited geographic variation in risk avoidance of snowshoe haresNARA Subscribed
Predation risk induces a myriad of behavioral antipredator responses of prey. However, different antipredator behaviors exhibit different degrees of flexibility within a single prey species. Moreover, how predator species composition and traits interact with the flexibility of particular antipredator behaviors to determine spatiotemporal activity patterns of prey remains unknown. We examined geographic variation in multiple be...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Technical Considerations of Pharmacokinetic Assays for LNP-mRNA Drug Products by RT-qPCRNARA Subscribed
Lipid nanoparticle-messenger RNA (LNP-mRNA) drug products are a growing class of drug modalities. The unique composition of these drug products requires multiple measurements to account for the different components of these drug modalities. Pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements include measurement of the encapsulated mRNA and components of the LNP in circulation to understand the effectiveness of the therapeutic mRNA. The PK measu...
Incorporating Climate Change Impacts Within Harvest Strategies: An Overview of ApproachesNARA Subscribed
Ensuring that harvest strategies are robust to climate change is a top priority for many fisheries jurisdictions globally. This is because climate change is altering ecosystem structure and the productivity of marine species. We outline a range of approaches for incorporating climate change impacts within harvest strategies, including how a harvest strategy is specified and changes to monitoring requirements. Approaches evalua...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
