Acorn woodpeckers alter resource use, group size, and spring productivity across an urban landscapeNARA Subscribed
Access to suitable resources shapes the evolution and maintenance of avian cooperative breeding by influencing whether an individual will have a greater chance of survival and reproduction by dispersing or remaining on a natal territory. Cooperatively-breeding species exhibit altered dispersal according to food availability and habitat quality, but the relationship between resource use, group size, and reproduction in human-al...
β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor mediated spontaneous contractions and ryanodine receptor channel opening in human failing heartNARA Subscribed
In heart failure, β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR)-Gsα-cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) signalling predisposes to delayed-afterdepolarisation-mediated arrhythmias. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyse cAMP, and PDE3 restrains β 1 -AR, β 2 -AR-mediated inotropic responses in failing hearts from β-blocker-treated patients. Whether these receptors provoke arrhythmias through ryanodine receptor (RyR2) dysregulation, and how PDE activity and...
Longitudinal lipidomic markers of cardiac aging and risk of coronary heart disease in American Indians: the Strong Heart Family StudyNARA Subscribed
Age-related decline in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is a hallmark of cardiac aging and an early precursor to cardiovascular disease. While dyslipidemia is a known driver of coronary heart disease (CHD), the molecular pathways linking lipid metabolism to cardiac aging and subsequent CHD risk remain poorly understood. Furthermore, longitudinal lipidomic profiling of cardiac aging in large human populations has not be...
Tree Harvest Decisions Modulate the Climate Impact of Rewetting in a Low‐Productive Peatland Forest in Boreal SwedenNARA Subscribed
Over the past century, extensive areas of northern peatlands have been drained for forestry. Today, concerns about their role as significant sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) have sparked growing interest in peatland rewetting as a climate mitigating strategy. However, empirical evidence for rewetting effects on ecosystem carbon (C) and GHG balances is still limited, particularly for minerogenic boreal peatland forests. Rewett...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of relative age effects (RAEs) within and between U18, U21 and professional senior squads, that compete in the highest (respective) leagues within England. Birthdate, playing position and age (years) of U18 ( n = 487), U21 ( n = 350), and senior ( n = 396) players from squads competing in the highest divisions of their respective age groups were obtained. Moreover, na...
