Early Posttransplant urine ammonium-pH index levels and graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipientsNARA Subscribed
Introduction Functional assessment is essential to quantify kidney graft quality early after kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation is inherently associated with ischemia–reperfusion-injury, a noxious insult for proximal tubule cells that may not be captured by glomerular function markers. The urine ammonium-pH index (uAPI) is a functional measure of the tubulointerstitial capacity for ammonium excretion. Here, we aime...
Introduction Dexmedetomidine has been used to treat toxicologic conditions, but high-quality data on its use for this indication in the emergency department setting are lacking. We sought to characterize the use of dexmedetomidine in this context. Methods We conducted a dual-center retrospective cohort study of patients treated with dexmedetomidine in two academic emergency departments. We included patients who received dexmed...
Areas of priority for Mantodea in South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Despite the cultural and ecological importance of the Mantodea group, very little is known about their biogeography in South Africa. Existing information on South African Mantodea collected over a period of 180 years was recently compiled into a database (157 spp., 64 genera, 14 families) with the aim to identify hotspot areas that could be of importance for future Mantodea surveys and research. Biogeographical analyses were d...
Transformation or Optimization? How Circular Innovations Strengthen or Stall Systemic Change in Public SectorsNARA Subscribed
The transition to a circular economy requires innovations that shift from short-term resource reduction with technological fixes to fundamentally transforming socio-technical systems. While a broad array of circular innovations has emerged, their contributions to the circular economy transition often remain unclear. Insights into the different ways in which respective innovations contribute to transformative change are particu...
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...
Learn to listen and listen to learn: reflections from a co-production process between researchers and composersNARA Subscribed
As platforms for dialogue, art-science collaborations hold the potential to cross disciplinary boundaries to better understand and engage the public in addressing sustainability challenges. Moving beyond documenting outcomes, this study details how researchers and composers combined science communication and artistic expression to co-produce performances as part of the Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab. Drawing on insights from...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Scope for growth is optimized across a limited temperature range in an imperiled freshwater musselNARA Subscribed
Predicting effects of rising temperatures on the health and physiology of aquatic organisms is receiving increasing attention, particularly in arid regions with limited freshwater habitat. One approach to estimating energetic health of aquatic ectotherms is scope for growth (SFG)—the net energy available for reproduction and growth after meeting basic maintenance costs. We examined the relationships between temperature, cleara...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Wind dispersed tree species have greater maximum heightNARA Subscribed
Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...
