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...
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...
Dietary shifts across ontogeny, regions and seasons in the red searobin, Prionotus nudigula , off Uruguay and northern ArgentinaNARA Subscribed
The diet of Prionotus nudigula in coastal waters off Uruguay and northern Argentina (36°–41° S) and their variation in relation to body size, region and season were determined by analysis of stomach contents. Additionally, the trophic level of this species was estimated to establish its ecological role in this marine region. A total of 352 individuals were analysed, of which 308 (87.05%), ranging from 78 to 285 mm in total len...
The best laid plans: How do adopted city sustainability goals influence site-level action in urban forestry?NARA Subscribed
Cities increasingly hope to mobilize nature-based solutions in urban sustainability planning because of their wide-ranging ecosystem services. In this critical moment, where failure due to poor implementation could lead policymakers to turn away from nature-based solutions, we investigate the case of urban forestry and ask: how do strategic-level sustainability goals influences site-level decision-making? We conducted semi-str...
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widespread environmental contaminants that interfere with xenobiotic metabolism, primarily by modulating cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. However, their pharmacokinetic consequences in exposed individuals remain poorly defined. Here, we investigated the impact of PCB exposure on CYP enzyme activity using a combined clinical pharmacokinetic and in vitro mechanistic approach. Ten occupationally...
Global interest in microplastics is increasing, with numerous organisations collecting data on microplastics in the environment. However, disparate sampling, analysis, and reporting methods limit our ability to integrate data, hindering a global understanding of microplastic occurrence, effects and dynamics. Drawing on international directives and collaborations, we present a comprehensive guideline of harmonised and standardi...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
