North Pacific humpback whales are a celebrated conservation success, rebounding from extensive commercial whaling. Yet they remain vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, a multifaceted stressor that can exacerbate existing threats. During 2013–2016, a Northeast Pacific marine heatwave severely reduced forage availability in their feeding grounds, concurrent with diminished whale recruitment and increased mortality. We an...
This study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity, predictors, and lived experiences of food insecurity among women enrolled in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study in the USA in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that pre-existing socioeconomic and health-related disparities would heighten the risk of worsening food insecurity during the pandemic. The 10-item US Household Food Security Survey was adm...
Tree ferns on the move: patterns of movement and current introduction status of Cyatheales species around the worldNARA Subscribed
Tree ferns (order Cyatheales) have been moved from their native ranges for more than two centuries, and the number of species introduced to new countries has recently increased rapidly. However, no comprehensive global list of alien tree ferns exists. Botanical garden collections and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility database were examined, and a systematic literature review was conducted to collect information on t...
Non‐native pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha carcasses benefit native benthic macroinvertebratesNARA Subscribed
The invasion of the North Atlantic by pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha has raised concerns regarding their impact on coastal rivers. Although the influence of marine‐derived nutrients from returning adult O. gorbuscha on rivers in their native range has received much attention, the ecological consequences of invasive O. gorbuscha for ecosystems outside the native range are largely unknown. To investigate the impact on the de...
Correlation between DNA methylation and transcriptomic changes in golden Asian sea bass ( Lates calcarifer ): An integrated approachNARA Subscribed
Lates calcarifer , commonly known as barramundi perch, Asian sea bass or barramundi, is a significant aquaculture species across the Indo‐Pacific. Barramundi typically exhibit a silver to bronze wild‐type (WT) skin colour, with occasional golden (xanthic) variants of commercial interest. Although previous studies have identified gene expression differences between golden and WT variants, the genetic mechanism driving golden co...
Motivation United States federal biomonitoring programs assess the status of freshwater ecosystems using standardised sampling protocols. While most data from these efforts are publicly available, new users face barriers in applying these data appropriately. Here, we introduce unified assemblage databases for fish and macroinvertebrates in rivers and streams from US federal biomonitoring. These are one of the largest single‐so...
