The analysis of the genomic architecture of selection can be insightful for the understanding of sexual conflict and sexual selection acting in wild populations. In general, there will be a wide range of possible targets of selection in the reproductive system of sexually promiscuous species. In the context of a dynamic conflict, selection is expected to be predominantly recurrent and it might be best investigated by combining...
Effects of repeated low-dose LSD on neuropsychological functioning in adults with ADHD: a randomized placebo-controlled studyNARA Subscribed
Rationale Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) shows substantial heterogeneity in symptoms and cognitive deficits. According to the Triple Pathway Model, this variability may stem from impairments in three neuropsychological domains: inhibition, motivation, and temporal processing. Repeated low-dose administration of psychedelics is being explored as a treatment for ADHD, but evidence from controlled studies in this...
3D Geometry Scanning and Structural Integrity Assessment to Advance Meniscus Allograft TransplantationNARA Subscribed
Purpose Meniscal allograft transplantation can restore joint biomechanics and alleviate symptoms, but its clinical use is limited by the scarcity of size-matched, structurally intact grafts. Current two-dimensional sizing and subjective inspection in tissue banks fail to capture complex three-dimensional geometry and subtle surface defects, highlighting the need for an accurate, reliable, and practical solution for routine don...
Tracing population structure and dispersal of planktonic organisms is a challenging yet crucial task, as it helps identify how populations are connected across regions, detect isolated or vulnerable populations and anticipate how human-driven changes in ocean may alter these dynamics. Here, we used the top predator Cyanea capillata , a bloom-forming jellyfish, as a target organism since its population structure, dispersal and...
Trait‐based approaches are key to understanding eco‐evolutionary processes but rarely account for animal behaviour despite its central role in ecosystem dynamics. We propose integrating behaviour into trait‐based ecology through movement traits—standardised and comparable measures of animal movement derived from biologging data, such as daily displacements or range sizes. Accounting for animal behaviour will advance trait‐base...
Beyond strength: dietary nitrate augments self-selected functional mobility after resistance training in middle-aged adultsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...
Soil water limitation intensity alters nitrogen cycling at the plant-soil interface in Scots pine mesocosmsNARA Subscribed
Background and aim More intense episodes of drought are expected to affect terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling by altering N transformation rates, the functioning of soil microorganisms, and plant N uptake. However, there is limited empirical evidence of how progressive water loss affects N cycling at the plant-soil interface. Methods We adopted 15 N tracing techniques and metagenomic analyzes of microbial genes involved in N cyc...
Combined resistance mechanisms leading to high-level of cefiderocol resistance among NDM-like producing E. coli ST167 clinical isolatesNARA Subscribed
Summary Purpose A series of NDM-producing Escherichia coli ST167 clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to cefiderocol (FDC), with no previous exposure to this antibiotic, were analyzed in this study. Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of resistance patterns (Rapid Cefiderocol NP test and MIC determination) were performed for all tested isolates. Their entire genomes were sequenced by us...
Seagrass wasting disease prevalence and lesion area increase with invertebrate grazing across the northeastern PacificNARA Subscribed
Disease is a key driver of community and ecosystem structure, especially when it strikes foundation species. In the widespread marine foundation species eelgrass ( Zostera marina ), outbreaks of wasting disease have caused large‐scale meadow collapse in the past, and the causative pathogen, Labyrinthula zosterae , is commonly found in meadows globally. Research to date has mainly focused on abiotic environmental drivers of sea...
In drylands, where water scarcity limits vascular plant growth, much of the primary production occurs at the soil surface. This is where complex macro‐ and microbial communities, in an intricate bond with soil particles, form biological soil crusts (biocrusts). Despite their critical role in regulating C and N cycling in dryland ecosystems, there is limited understanding of the fate of biologically fixed C and N from biocrusts...
Methane (CH 4 ) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with atmospheric concentrations that have nearly tripled since pre‐industrial times. Wetlands account for a large share of global CH 4 emissions, yet the magnitude and factors controlling CH 4 fluxes in tidal wetlands remain uncertain. We synthesized CH 4 flux data from 100 chamber and 9 eddy covariance (EC) sites across tidal marshes in the conterminous United States to assess...
