Impact of atmospheric conditions on photovoltaic generation: investigating the influence of aerosols on a grid-connected systemNARA Subscribed
The growing demand for electrical energy drives the transition toward renewable sources, with a focus on solar photovoltaic energy due to its wide availability and decreasing costs. However, the efficiency of photovoltaic systems is vulnerable to atmospheric factors, such as the presence of aerosols, which affect the atmosphere's radiative balance. This study investigated the impact of aerosol load on the energy generation of...
Studies of the resident community of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) of Sarasota Bay, Florida, have been conducted for more than 50 years. Detailed histories have been collected for resident individuals through integrated observations, systematic photographic identification surveys, tagging and tracking, catch-and-release health assessments, remote biopsy sampling, and stranding response. This has produced a unique...
Genotyping of European Toxoplasma gondii strains by a new high-resolution next-generation sequencing-based methodNARA Subscribed
Purpose A new high-resolution next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method was established to type closely related European type II Toxoplasma gondii strains. Methods T. gondii field isolates were collected from different parts of Europe and assessed by whole genome sequencing (WGS). In comparison to ME49 (a type II reference strain), highly polymorphic regions (HPRs) were identified, showing a considerable number of single n...
Movescapes and eco‐evolutionary movement strategies in marine fish: Assessing a connectivity hotspotNARA Subscribed
Data from the Integrated Tracking of Aquatic Animals in the Gulf of Mexico (iTAG) network, and sister networks, were used to evaluate fish movements in the Florida Keys—an extensive reef fish ecosystem just north of Cuba connecting the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. We analysed ~2 million detections for 23 species, ranging from reef fish such as Nassau grouper ( Epinephelus striatus , Serranidae) to migratory apex predator...
Small cetaceans face persistent threats from fisheries interactions, making effective mitigation a priority for conservation. In southwest Florida, interactions come primarily from small-scale recreational hook and line and trap/pot fisheries, with regional stranding network partners working with federal agency managers to assess and intervene as possible in cases of live animal entanglement. Evaluating success of intervention...
Hot spots of wheat yield decline with rising temperaturesNARA Subscribed
Many of the irrigated spring wheat regions in the world are also regions with high poverty. The impacts of temperature increase on wheat yield in regions of high poverty are uncertain. A grain yield–temperature response function combined with a quantification of model uncertainty was constructed using a multimodel ensemble from two key irrigated spring wheat areas (India and Sudan) and applied to all irrigated spring wheat reg...
Regional atmospheric CO 2 inversion reveals seasonal and geographic differences in Amazon net biome exchangeNARA Subscribed
Understanding tropical rainforest carbon exchange and its response to heat and drought is critical for quantifying the effects of climate change on tropical ecosystems, including global climate–carbon feedbacks. Of particular importance for the global carbon budget is net biome exchange of CO 2 with the atmosphere ( NBE ), which represents nonfire carbon fluxes into and out of biomass and soils. Subannual and sub‐Basin Amazon...
Accurate identification of human‐induced injuries that lead to death or interfere with reproduction is important for marine mammal management, as deaths exceeding established limits can lead to restrictions on fisheries or vessel operations. The fates of cetaceans last seen swimming with attached gear, particularly in pelagic fisheries, or with vessel strike lacerations, have been difficult to predict. Survival and reproductio...
