Late Quaternary population expansion in gray brocket deer [ Subulo gouazoubira (G. Fisher, 1814), Cervidae, Mammalia] in BrazilNARA Subscribed
There is little information about the changes in the abundance of mammalian species in South America during the late Quaternary, which is a key parameter to understanding past ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Here, we describe a conspicuous increase in the abundance of the gray brocket deer ( Subulo gouazoubira G. Fisher, 1814; Mammalia) during the late Quaternary in Brazil based on paleontological evidence. We studied th...
Motivation Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human‐induced environmental changes are compromising the long‐term persistence of plant‐pollinator interactions. Unfortunately, we lack robust, generalisable data capturing how plant‐pollinator communities are structured across space and time. Here, we present the EuPPollNet (European Plant‐Pollinator Networks) database,...
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...
Method dependency of maximum oxygen uptake rate and its repeatability in the Gulf killifish, Fundulus grandisNARA Subscribed
The maximum rate at which fish can take up oxygen from their environment to fuel aerobic metabolism is an important feature of their physiology and ecology. Methods to quantify maximum oxygen uptake rate ( Ṁ O 2 ), therefore, should reliably and reproducibly estimate the highest possible Ṁ O 2 by an individual or species under a given set of conditions (peak Ṁ O 2 ). This study determined peak Ṁ O 2 and its repeatability in Gu...
SNAPSHOT USA 2020: A second coordinated national camera trap survey of the United States during the COVID ‐19 pandemicNARA Subscribed
Managing wildlife populations in the face of global change requires regular data on the abundance and distribution of wild animals, but acquiring these over appropriate spatial scales in a sustainable way has proven challenging. Here we present the data from Snapshot USA 2020, a second annual national mammal survey of the USA. This project involved 152 scientists setting camera traps in a standardized protocol at 1485 location...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Scale‐dependent genetic structure of the Idaho giant salamander ( Dicamptodon aterrimus ) in stream networksNARA Subscribed
The network architecture of streams and rivers constrains evolutionary, demographic and ecological processes of freshwater organisms. This consistent architecture also makes stream networks useful for testing general models of population genetic structure and the scaling of gene flow. We examined genetic structure and gene flow in the facultatively paedomorphic Idaho giant salamander, Dicamptodon aterrimus , in stream networks...
Putting Passion to WorkNARA Subscribed
Aim This study identified the factors influencing the presence, stocking rate and basal area of the southern Australian cool temperate rain forest tree myrtle beech ( Nothofagus cunninghamii ). Location This investigation was conducted in the montane ash forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria, south‐eastern Australia. Methods The occurrence of N. cunninghamii was measured as part of field surveys of 474 sites (2844 plots...
