The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...
Fentanyl decreases arterial blood oxygen saturation more than furanylfentanyl in mice due to increased apneaNARA Subscribed
Rationale Fatal opioid overdoses involving synthetic opioids have increased >10-fold over the past 8 years. Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid acting at the mu-opioid receptor (MOR), has largely replaced heroin as the predominant illicit opioid available. Various analogs have been synthesized from the fentanyl scaffold, including 2-furanylfentanyl, one of the most trafficked analogs from 2019 to 2024. Despite its prevalence,...
An unexpected assemblage: Moissanite and carbonaceous material from SSZ mantle rocks of the Dun Mountain Ophiolite, New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Moissanite (SiC) and other super-reducing minerals have been reported from supra-subduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites, yet their origin remains controversial given the oxidized conditions expected in forearc mantle. In this study, hundreds of moissanite grains have been recovered from mantle rocks of the Early Permian Dun Mountain Ophiolite, New Zealand. We report the first occurrence of moissanite found in direct association with...
Dryland ecosystems cover 41% of Earth's land surfaces, account for 44% of cultivated lands and 60% of food sources, and make large contributions to the global water and carbon cycles. However, these ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented extremes including heatwaves, floods, and droughts as well as hotter temperatures and often declining water resource availability. These ecosystems are some of the most challenging to monit...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Facilitation in plant communities – special issue editorialNARA Subscribed
Ecological seasonality describes the dynamic adaptation of species to changes in the biotic community and suggests predators should alter space use synchronously with seasonal prey availability. We assessed seasonal space use states (i.e., periods of similar movement and resource use) of mainland gray wolves ( Canis lupus ), moose ( Alces alces ), and white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) on the Grand Portage Indian Res...
Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture ManagementNARA Subscribed
Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and management under the ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA). Using a focused literat...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Ti solubility in biotite at low pressure in metapelitic systems: the Torres del Paine caseNARA Subscribed
The Torres del Paine Intrusive Complex (TPIC) is a shallowly emplaced pluton surrounded by a well-defined contact aureole, providing an ideal setting to test Ti-in-biotite thermometry. We compare existing Ti-in-biotite thermometers with phase petrology constraints and found that they systematically overestimate peak metamorphic temperatures. This discrepancy arises from a significant increase in Ti solubility at low pressures...
Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral speciesNARA Subscribed
An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral ( Acropora palmata ) and staghorn coral ( Acropora cervicornis ), were severely affected. These species have been the primary focus of reef restoration in Florida for decades. Substantial losses of these species occurred in outplanted populations, in o...
New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target. However, there is a lack of species occurrence data to support evidence of where biodiversity can be best protected. To address t...
Childhood maltreatment is pervasive – with an estimated 1 in 4 children experiencing abuse or neglect at some point in their lifetime. Exposure to childhood maltreatment has been associated with detrimental neurodevelopmental changes to brain structure and function in stress-sensitive regions and regions with extended developmental periods. Such regions include the frontoparietal regions (e.g., middle frontal gyrus and dorsola...
