Genetic ancestry proportion influences risk of adverse events from tuberculosis treatment in BrazilNARA Subscribed
Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is highly effective, but response to therapy varies by geography and population subgroups. We assessed differences in TB treatment response in a representative and heterogeneous Brazilian population. We estimated genetic ancestry according to major genetic ancestry groups (African, European, and Amerindian) in the Regional Prospective Observational Research in Tuberculosis (RePORT)-Brazil cohort usi...
Atmospheric forcing and ocean preconditioning for dense shelf water cascading in the northwestern MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Dense shelf water cascading (DSWC) in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea occurs due to the densification and overflow of shelf water in winter. This process ventilates the deep basin with waters that can be denser than those generated by open-ocean convection. Between 1987 and 2021 (i.e., 35 winter periods), shelf water reached depths greater than 1000 m on only 9 occasions, and open questions remain regarding the triggering f...
Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring dataNARA Subscribed
Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird distributions and assessed how they changed. We used these data on 50 farmland bird specie...
Fatty acid profiling is a widely used tool in cetacean dietary and health assessments, yet most studies focus exclusively on blubber, overlooking the epidermis – the largest organ and primary barrier against environmental stressors – which remains largely uncharacterised, despite its accessibility for sampling of live and deceased animals. Here, we present a comparative analysis of fatty acid composition across the epidermis a...
Mineral Stabilization Slows Losses of Peatland Carbon Following Long‐Term Drainage for AgricultureNARA Subscribed
Cultivated peatlands are a major CO 2 emission source, but the processes that regulate the decomposition of drained peat are debated, especially as drained peat becomes increasingly shallow. Many cultivated peatlands are underlain by a mineral soil layer. Surface subsidence, oxidation and tillage reduce the peat thickness, which intermixes peat with minerals as peat is lost. A key question is whether this mixing can reduce emi...
