Early Imaging Biomarkers of Cartilage Strain After ACL Reconstruction Predict Patient Pain and Altered Knee LoadingNARA Subscribed
Purpose To investigate temporal evolution of cartilage strain and relaxometry following ACL reconstruction, and examine associations between MRI metrics, pain, and knee loading patterns during gait as potential early markers of cartilage degeneration. Methods Twenty-five participants (15 female, 10 male; mean age 25.6 years) undergoing ACL reconstruction completed MRI assessments at 6 and 12 month post-surgery, including displ...
The politics of American clean energy and climate policy: Why the Inflation Reduction Act passedNARA Subscribed
When President Biden won the 2020 election and Democrats gained control of Congress, a climate policy window opened. Many voters, activists, and lawmakers wondered: after 10 years of inaction, would the United States finally pass a federal climate law? This article explains the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022, the single largest climate and clean energy investment in American history. Our research draws on...
Impact of marine hitchhiker load on host energy intakeNARA Subscribed
Determining the energetic and fitness trade-offs associated with symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism or parasitism) can reveal the implications of symbiosis for species and ecosystem health. To identify hitchhiker impact on sea turtles, this study reviewed global literature and examined the association between remoras ( Echeneis naucrates ) and green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) at a high-density foraging site in th...
Climate change has reduced the duration of seasonal snow cover in many areas, leading to seasonal coat colour‐changing species being colour mismatched against their environment for increasingly long periods. This mismatch in camouflage can lead to increased predation, potentially resulting in population‐level effects. Here we investigate how mountain hare ( Lepus timidus ) camouflage is influenced by climate change‐induced red...
Low growth rates at high population densities in sea turtlesNARA Subscribed
Over 29 years (1996–2024) in a lagoon environment in the Chagos Archipelago (Indian Ocean) we conducted a mark-recapture growth rate study during which 135 juvenile hawksbill turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) were each caught two or more times. Growth rate in straight carapace length (SCL) decreased in larger turtles with predicted mean growth rate for turtles with a starting SCL of 35 cm at 1.64 cm.y −1 , decreasing to 0.90...
Environmental organizations play an active role in electoral politics, yet these interventions have received far less study than the movement’s efforts at public persuasion or policy advocacy. We examine the effect of environmental voter mobilization on turnout and attitudes among supporters of a Canadian environmental organization. Through a field experiment during the 2017 British Columbia election, we evaluate two prevalent...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate whether different dispensing processes can alter the physicochemical and structural (Q3) attributes of a topical cream product, and potentially alter its performance. Methods Acyclovir cream, 5% (Zovirax®) is sold in the UK and other countries in a tube and a pump packaging configurations. The structural attributes of the cream dispensed from each packaging configuration w...
SNAPSHOT USA 2021: A third coordinated national camera trap survey of the U nited S tatesNARA Subscribed
SNAPSHOT USA is a multicontributor, long‐term camera trap survey designed to survey mammals across the United States. Participants are recruited through community networks and directly through a website application ( https://www.snapshot-usa.org/ ). The growing Snapshot dataset is useful, for example, for tracking wildlife population responses to land use, land cover, and climate changes across spatial and temporal scales. Her...
