The 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa, Hawaiʻi: a synoptic and retrospective overview of the eruptionNARA Subscribed
Mauna Loa volcano erupted on November 27, 2022, after 38 years of quiescence, marking the first eruption of the world’s largest active volcano since 1984. Precursory activity was characterized by escalating seismicity and ground deformation, with increased unrest beginning in mid-September 2022. At 22:24 HST, tilt and seismic alarms alerted Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff to escalating activity, signaling an imminent erupti...
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...
A review of the nutritional requirements of chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha )NARA Subscribed
Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), also referred to as King salmon, is a premium aquaculture species farmed in New Zealand and to a small extent in western Canada. Despite the high research investment in the 50s and 60s, literature on nutrition on chinook salmon from recent years is sparse, particularly when compared to other salmonid aquaculture species, such as Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) and rainbow trout ( On...
The Canadian Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the planet. The impact of climate change on the Arctic carbon cycle, and in particular for Baffin Bay, remains poorly constrained. Sinking particulate organic matter (POM sink ) is a key component of the biological carbon pump and provides a direct linkage between surface productivity and the preservation of carbon in marine sediments. While POM sink provides a...
The Canadian Arctic is warming at three times the rate of the rest of the planet and the effects of climate change on the Arctic marine carbon cycle remains unconstrained. Baffin Bay is a semi-enclosed, Arctic basin that connects the Arctic Ocean to the north to the Labrador Sea to the south. While the physical oceanography of surface Baffin Bay is well characterized, less is known about deep water formation mechanisms within...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
West Nile virus: pending crisis for greater sage‐grouseNARA Subscribed
Scientists have feared that emerging infectious diseases could complicate efforts to conserve rare and endangered species, but quantifying impacts has proven difficult until now. We report unexpected impacts of West Nile virus (WNv) on radio‐marked greater sage‐grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ), a species that has declined 45–80% and is endangered in Canada and under current consideration for federal listing in the US. We s...
