Genetic ancestry proportion influences risk of adverse events from tuberculosis treatment in BrazilNARA Subscribed
Tuberculosis (TB) treatment is highly effective, but response to therapy varies by geography and population subgroups. We assessed differences in TB treatment response in a representative and heterogeneous Brazilian population. We estimated genetic ancestry according to major genetic ancestry groups (African, European, and Amerindian) in the Regional Prospective Observational Research in Tuberculosis (RePORT)-Brazil cohort usi...
Adaptive Variation Amid High Gene Flow Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient in the Reef‐Building Honeycomb Worm, Sabellaria alveolataNARA Subscribed
Climate change is already altering, and will continue to reshape, the persistence and spatial structure of marine populations. Understanding metapopulation connectivity and local adaptation is therefore critical for identifying both vulnerable populations and those with adaptive resilience. We applied a seascape genomics approach to investigate connectivity patterns and adaptive responses in the honeycomb worm, Sabellaria alve...
Group 2 Herbicides Applied Below Label Rates Constrain the Ornithopus Sativus—Bradyrhizobium Sp. SymbiosisNARA Subscribed
Pasture legumes are crucial to the sustainability of ley farming systems. They provide a disease break for cereals, nutritious feed for livestock and supply biologically fixed nitrogen (N) for subsequent non-leguminous crops. However, there are frequent observations where biological N‑fixation from the pasture phase is significantly less than expected leading to a N-fixation deficit. Previous field experiments have indicated t...
This study investigates lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites and associated pegmatites and granites in the Varuträsk area, northern Sweden, using a mineral systems approach (i.e. source-transport-trap). The research incorporates geological mapping both regionally and underground, analysis of geological structures and host rock competency, 3D modelling, lithogeochemistry, and zircon-monazite U–Pb SIMS geochronology to asse...
Adaptive area-wide management for suppressing spruce budworm outbreaks: effectiveness of the early intervention strategyNARA Subscribed
In eastern North America, two main insecticide-based strategies are used to manage spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana ) outbreaks. The traditional ‘Foliage Protection Strategy’ (FPS) focuses on temporarily reducing defoliation and tree mortality in high-value stands, allowing outbreaks to progress naturally in surrounding areas. The ‘Early Intervention Strategy’ (EIS) is an adaptive, area-wide management approach that t...
Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscapeNARA Subscribed
Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species. STAR scores quantify the potential contribution of actions to abate threats and restore habitat to reduce species extinction risk in a particular place and can...
Comparison of Six Data Cleaning Methods for Determining Repetitive Head Impact Exposure in Youth Tackle FootballNARA Subscribed
Purpose Instrumented mouthguards (iMGs) are commonly used to quantify head acceleration event (HAE) exposure, but accurate interpretation requires rigorous data cleaning methods. This study compared six data cleaning methods for determining HAE rates and magnitudes, as well as cleaning method validity compared to the 5 th method video verification in youth tackle football. Methods Fifty athletes (ages 8-12) wore Impact Monitor...
