A quantitative comparison of tools for monitoring the abundance of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral coverNARA Subscribed
Effective monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations and coral cover is critical for informing management of COTS outbreaks throughout their tropical Indo-Pacific range, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However, existing monitoring tools such as manta tow and cull diver surveys have well-known limitations including accuracy and resource demands. This study evaluates a range of monitoring tools for asses...
Integrative Metabolomics and Predictive Modelling of Doubled Haploid Induction in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)NARA Subscribed
Doubled haploid plants can be produced from immature female or male germ cells. The male germ line is mostly preferred since the number of microspores exceeds by far the number of egg cells. Applying this method, microspores need to be switched from the gametophytic to the sporophytic development. In contrast to conventional breeding programs, the time to obtain homozygosity with this method is shortened from approx. 6 years t...
Towards practical artificial intelligence in Earth sciencesNARA Subscribed
Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects are common and desired by many institutions and research teams, there are still relatively few success stories of AI in practical use for the Earth science community. Many AI practitioners in Earth science are trapped in the prototyping stage and their results have not yet been adopted by users. Many scientists are still hesitating to use AI in their research routine. This paper a...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Cigarette smoke alters inflammatory genes and the extracellular matrix — investigations on viable sections of peripheral human lungsNARA Subscribed
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex chronic respiratory disorder often caused by cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains hundreds of toxic substances. In our study, we wanted to identify initial mechanisms of cigarette smoke induced changes in the distal lung. Viable slices of human lungs were exposed 24 h to cigarette smoke condensate, and the dose–response profile was analyzed. Non-toxic condensate co...
Rapid response flow cytometric assay for the detection of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2NARA Subscribed
SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a previously unknown zoonotic coronavirus that spread worldwide causing a serious pandemic. While reliable nucleic acid–based diagnostic assays were rapidly available, only a limited number of validated serological assays were available in the early phase of the pandemic. Here, we evaluated a novel flow cytometric approach to assess spike-specific antibody responses.HEK 293T cells expressing SARS-CoV-...
What causes the spread of model projections of ocean dynamic sea-level change in response to greenhouse gas forcing?NARA Subscribed
Sea levels of different atmosphere–ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) respond to climate change forcing in different ways, representing a crucial uncertainty in climate change research. We isolate the role of the ocean dynamics in setting the spatial pattern of dynamic sea-level ( ζ ) change by forcing several AOGCMs with prescribed identical heat, momentum (wind) and freshwater flux perturbations. This method produces...
