The high-value tropical sea cucumber Holothuria ( Metriatyla ) scabra or sandfish is central to the ‘400+ year old global’, bêche-de-mer trade. Consequently, it has faced heavy exploitation and has become extirpated in some regions within its broader Indo-Pacific natural distribution. Recent molecular evidence has provided clarity on its taxonomic identity, indicating it comprises a species complex, with four broad lineages de...
Stable isotopes reveal that gelatinous zooplankton diets group by taxonomy and feeding traits in a coastal upwelling systemNARA Subscribed
Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant in marine ecosystems, yet their trophic roles and functional diversity in food webs have only recently gained attention. Gelatinous zooplankton taxa including hydromedusae, ctenophores, siphonophores, chaetognaths, and pelagic tunicates span multiple phyla and are often grouped taxonomically, but trait‐based categorizations have emerged as an ecologically meaningful alternative. Considering...
Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) are among the most important aquaculture species but are highly susceptible to Vibrio infections. Novel disease management strategies are necessary. Previous studies have reported that peracetic acid (PAA) is an effective disinfectant, but its application in shrimp aquaculture remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) of PAA at tw...
Impact of open-air dumping of urban solid waste on soil toxicity and properties in a tropical environmentNARA Subscribed
Open dumping (OD) is uncontrolled dumping of solid waste (SW) in an environment. It involves the illegal practice of dumping waste in areas not designated for waste management, such as open lands, flowing water bodies, or exposed waste piles. OD can contain a complex mixture of organic fractions, and various contaminants that, when infiltrated into the soil through leachate, compromise its stability and resistance. These conta...
Longitudinal lipidomic markers of cardiac aging and risk of coronary heart disease in American Indians: the Strong Heart Family StudyNARA Subscribed
Age-related decline in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is a hallmark of cardiac aging and an early precursor to cardiovascular disease. While dyslipidemia is a known driver of coronary heart disease (CHD), the molecular pathways linking lipid metabolism to cardiac aging and subsequent CHD risk remain poorly understood. Furthermore, longitudinal lipidomic profiling of cardiac aging in large human populations has not be...
Using Drone‐Derived Imagery to Describe Prey Sharing Behaviors in Two Piscivorous Resident Killer Whale PopulationsNARA Subscribed
Cooperative foraging occurs across diverse taxa and facilitates prey acquisition and social learning, particularly when prey is shared among group members. In Resident killer whales ( Orcinus orca ater ), prey sharing is central to how individuals acquire salmonid prey, yet current research has relied primarily on boat‐based observations. Using 10 years of drone‐based imagery, we examined prey sharing behaviors in two populati...
Recovery of Four Commercial Fish Stocks in Lake I Jsselmeer (The N etherlands) After Major Fishery Management InterventionsNARA Subscribed
Sustainable management of inland fisheries presents major challenges because it often involves complex and open access systems. Lake IJsselmeer is among the largest freshwater lakes in western Europe and supports active commercial fisheries. By 2012, excessive fishing effort had reduced the stocks of four key resident species: pikeperch ( Sander lucioperca ), perch ( Perca fluviatilis ), roach ( Rutilus rutilus ), and bream (...
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Use of the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery in Clinical PopulationsNARA Subscribed
The National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) is an assessment tool that has been widely utilized in research with clinical populations across the lifespan. Despite its widespread use, a systematic review and meta-analysis of cognitive function utilizing this battery in clinical samples has not been reported. To address this gap, 84 studies were identified after systematically searching PsycINFO, PubMe...
Plan Bee: genetic diversity in an Australia honey bee (Apis mellifera) breeding programNARA Subscribed
Our reliance on honey bees for pollination has lead to greater uptake of modern animal breeding methods around the world to improve bee health and productivity. As breeding can result in loss of genetic diversity, it is worth considering the standing genetic diversity in breeding populations from the outset. A bee breeding program (Plan Bee) commenced in Australia in 2020. This study sought to quantify the genetic diversity of...
A Coast-to-Coast Assessment of Cumulative Impacts and Protection Potential in Canadian Marine Conservation NetworksNARA Subscribed
The effectiveness of marine conservation networks depends on their ability to manage and safeguard against the many overlapping human activities and stressors influencing marine ecosystems. Cumulative impact mapping (CIM) combines information on the intensity and location of stressors with the spatial extent and vulnerability of marine habitats to generate a single, relative cumulative impact (CI) score. Despite its potential...
