Species identification and haplotype diversity of Sato’s beaked whales using environmental DNA metabarcodingNARA Subscribed
The species identification of whales, dolphins and porpoises at sea remains challenging, particularly for cryptic species like beaked whales (Family: Ziphiidae). Here we use environmental (e)DNA for identification of Sato’s beaked whale, Berardius minimus , at sea. This species was first described in 2019 and, to date, all but one genetic sample has been collected from beachcast carcasses. Sato’s beaked whales are difficult to...
Himalayan glaciers are important for freshwater supply, hydropower and ecosystem services and require continuous monitoring due to climate warming. Garhwal Himalayan glaciers are experiencing mass loss, but long-term studies on mass balance remain limited for Bhilangana Valley glaciers. This valley is an important sub-basin of the Bhagirathi River that contributes meltwater to the Tehri Reservoir and supports downstream agricu...
Precision greenness exposure is associated with lung cancer risk in medicare beneficiariesNARA Subscribed
Purpose This study examines whether lung cancer risk is influenced by block-level greenness, controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, area deprivation index (ADI), and walkability in older adults, and whether age, sex, race/ethnicity, ADI, or walkability plays a moderating role in this relationship. Methods Data from US Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older were included for the years 2011 and 2016. Beneficiaries inc...
Climate Attribution in Fishery Stock Assessment: Case Studies From the Northeast U.S. Groundfish StocksNARA Subscribed
Climate change poses an unprecedented risk to fisheries ecosystems and economies globally. Ocean warming has led to observed geographic shifts and changes in the productivity of fish stocks. Due to the rapid pace of change in many of the world's oceans, there is a critical need to develop and apply scientific knowledge and tools that can help account for non‐stationarity and integrate climate and ecosystem drivers into fishery...
Understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of volumes of construction materials is becoming crucial for environmental sustainability and achieving long-term development goals. Whilst direct data collection is always the preferable option it is not always practical. This study presents a new methodology for quantifying national-scale material stocks in Malaysia using high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) data. The study includ...
