Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
The New Zealand landslide dam database, v1.0NARA Subscribed
Landslide dams, forming when a landslide blocks a watercourse, are significant components of slope-river systems. Dams can fail suddenly and catastrophically, threatening downstream populations and structures. So it is important to understand where they could form, how long they persist in the landscape, and the extent of downstream inundation once they fail. To investigate dam formation, longevity, and stability effectively i...
Fruit fly surveillance remains essential for international and domestic trade. The dry cuelure baited Lynfield trap has been the Australian standard since the early 1990s. Here, we tested the two versions of Biotraps against the Lynfield traps in the Riverina area of New South Wales. The Biotraps using a protein gel performed significantly better in trapping Island fly and female Queensland fruit fly. Also, Biotraps were asses...
Morphological Analysis of a Nearshore Nourishment along the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey, USAOA Marine
Nearshore nourishment is a common coastal flood risk management technique that can be constructed beneficially by using dredged sediment from navigation channels. A nearshore nourishment project was completed during the summer of 2021 in Harvey Cedars, NJ, USA, with 67,500 m3 of dredged sediment from Barnegat Inlet placed along approximately 450 m of beach in a depth of 3–4 m. In situ instruments were installed to monitor hydr...
Multiple hypotheses explain variation in extra‐pair paternity at different levels in a single bird familyNARA Subscribed
Extra‐pair paternity ( EPP ), where offspring are sired by a male other than the social male, varies enormously both within and among species. Trying to explain this variation has proved difficult because the majority of the interspecific variation is phylogenetically based. Ideally, variation in EPP should be investigated in closely related species, but clades with sufficient variation are rare. We present a comprehensive mul...
Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus ( VHSV ) was isolated from five species of wrasse ( L abridae) used as biological controls for parasitic sea lice predominantly, Lepeophtheirus salmonis ( K røyer, 1837), on marine A tlantic salmon, S almo salar L ., farms in S hetland. As part of the epidemiological investigation, 1400 wild marine fish were caught and screened in pools of 10 for VHSV using virus isolation. Eleven pools (8%...
Territory configuration moderates the frequency of extra‐group mating in superb fairy‐wrensNARA Subscribed
The frequency of extra‐pair paternity ( EPP ) in socially monogamous birds varies substantially between and within species, but ecological drivers of this variation remain poorly understood. Habitat configuration could influence EPP by moderating access to extra‐pair mates, because species occupying territories in a clustered ‘honeycomb’ configuration have a larger pool of potential extra‐group mates in their immediate neighbo...
Adhesion mechanisms in European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus eggs: is this a survival mechanism for high‐energy spawning grounds?NARA Subscribed
This study examined the potential biochemical and mechanical structures that may contribute to egg adhesion in European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus . Experiments showed that eggs from a population of C. lavaretus from Loch Eck remained non‐adhesive in a solution chemically similar to ovarian fluid but became adhesive seconds after contact with water. Examination of the ultrastructure of the chorion showed that the morphology...
