Patterns of resource use in loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) from the Southwestern Atlantic OceanNARA Subscribed
The Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) is an important feeding and developmental area for loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta ). However, long-term patterns of resource use across life stages and sexes remain poorly understood for the species in this region. Here, we used stable isotope analysis (SIA) of sequential layers of carapace scutes to investigate resource use of loggerhead turtles in the SWAO across life stages and se...
Oxidative stress and cardiovascular risk related to urinary metal(loid) levels in a pediatric populationNARA Subscribed
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, and reducing them requires identifying risk factors, among which exposure to environmental pollutants is well documented. Metal(loid) exposure is related to oxidative stress (OxS), in which oxygen radicals react with biomolecules, thus altering the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to identify cardiovascular risk factors and their relationship with OxS biomarkers. A...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Can Hematological Biomarkers Indicate Diagnoses and Prognosis in Stranded Harbor Seals ( Phoca vitulina )?NARA Subscribed
Wildlife health assessments offer critical insights in applied ecological research, but their interpretation is often limited by missing complementary data. There is heightened need for such data for European harbor seals ( Phoca vitulina vitulina ) given their recent population decline. We investigated trends in and hematological markers of health and survival of pre‐ and post‐ weaned harbor seal pups using a 10‐year rehabili...
Nutrients on the move: Investigating large scale fatty acid exports from European ponds via emerging insectsNARA Subscribed
Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which enhance consumer fitness, are among the essential exported components. The patterns and drivers of dietary exports from ponds via insects remain poorly known, particularly at continental...
Storms Are an Important Driver of Change in Tropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Tropical forest dynamics and composition have changed over recent decades, but the proximate drivers of these changes remain unclear. Investigations into these trends have focused on increasing drought stress, CO 2 , temperature, and fires, whereas convective storms are generally overlooked. We argue that existing literature provides clear support for the importance of storms as drivers of forest change. We reanalyze the large...
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...
Improving harvester yield maps postprocessing leveraging remote sensing data in rice cropNARA Subscribed
Precision Agriculture relies significantly on yield data obtained from combine harvesters, which constitutes a pivotal tool for optimizing crop productivity. Despite its potential, challenges in data accuracy persist, necessitating the development of novel automated postprocessing protocols for yield data refinement. In this paper, different automatic postprocessing protocols were evaluated using remote sensing data, specifica...
