The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Purpose Current treatments for cervical neoplasia are often inaccessible in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), which contributes to high cervical cancer mortality. We previously developed a low-cost ablative therapy using ethanol mixed with ethyl cellulose (EC) to a form an ethanol-retaining gel that reduces injection leakage. To optimize delivery of EC-ethanol into the cervix, we developed and compared three speculum-c...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2023 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
When the barotropic tide encounters variable bathymetry, fluctuating flow along a topographic slope generates baroclinic tides, or internal tides. There is growing evidence that these internal tides can affect primary production in the euphotic zone, though the dominant mechanisms are unclear. Internal tides move passive phytoplankton through an exponentially varying light field, enhancing primary production near the base of t...

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...
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models of global change can only be fully realised when species‐level information is complete. Here we present the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, includi...
Warming increased bark beetle‐induced tree mortality by 30% during an extreme drought in CaliforniaNARA Subscribed
Quantifying the responses of forest disturbances to climate warming is critical to our understanding of carbon cycles and energy balances of the Earth system. The impact of warming on bark beetle outbreaks is complex as multiple drivers of these events may respond differently to warming. Using a novel model of bark beetle biology and host tree interactions, we assessed how contemporary warming affected western pine beetle ( De...
