Vascular contribution to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID): proceedings of 2025 workshop of the Jackson LaboratoryNARA Subscribed
The first Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID) Workshop, held on May12-16, 2025 at The Jackson Laboratory, provided scientific content and career development training in the latest developments in VCID and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and related dementia (ADRD). The Workshop aimed to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and empower the next generation of diverse scientists to advance ADRD research...
“It's a good reason to get up every morning!”: Perspectives on how feeding and observing birds affects people’s wellbeingNARA Subscribed
In light of growing mental health challenges globally, understanding the positive impacts of nature on mental wellbeing is more important than ever. However, the impacts of one of the most common intentional human–wildlife interactions, feeding wild birds, are not well understood. We surveyed 3658 participatory scientists in the USA and Canada who take part in Project FeederWatch to examine associations between wellbeing and b...
Nature-based solutions (NbS) scholarship is overshooting its most basic purpose—the implementation of NbS projects. Investment in high-level design is outpacing the practical realities of implementation. While expert-driven approaches are useful for project prioritization at landscape scales, all NbS projects are implemented in real places, inhabited by human and non-human lives. Projects span multiple properties, impact resid...
The recreational fishery for pollack ( Pollachius pollachius ) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release. Via an experimental weighted cage, this study evaluated the efficacy of releasing Pollack at depth as a barotrauma mitigation strategy....
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...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Cities Is Not Consistent Among Cosmopolitan Plant SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Urbanisation has led to increasing homogenization of plant communities across cities. However, it is unclear whether these patterns extend to cosmopolitan plant species at the genetic level. We examined genome‐wide genetic patterns in six widespread plant species (three Poaceae and three Asteraceae) across five cities in the USA (Boston, Baltimore, Minneapolis‐St. Paul, Phoenix, and Los Angeles) using reduced‐representation se...
Linking persistent open-vent activity and caldera-forming eruptions at Tofua volcano, TongaNARA Subscribed
Tofua volcano (Tonga) currently exhibits persistent, open-vent activity; however, this contrasts with previous explosive, caldera-forming eruptions. To understand the relationship between these dichotomous eruption styles, we present new field observations and satellite remote sensing data that reveal excess degassing of SO 2 and demonstrate significant magma accumulation over timescales of centuries. Current activity takes th...
Diversity in Resource Use Strategies Promotes Productivity in Young Planted Tree Species MixturesNARA Subscribed
Mixed‐species forestry is a promising approach to enhance productivity, increase carbon sequestration, and mitigate climate change. Diverse forests, composed of species with varying structures and functional trait profiles, may have higher functional and structural diversity, which are attributes relevant to a number of mechanisms that can influence productivity. However, it remains unclear whether the context‐dependent roles...
