Use of translational fusions to express functional Klebsiella oxytoca dinitrogenase reductase in plant mitochondriaNARA Subscribed
Engineering crop plants with the biological nitrogen fixation pathway is a longstanding goal of modern agriculture. Dinitrogenase reductase (NifH) is a critical component of the biological nitrogen fixation pathway, with multiple roles in metal cofactor assembly and catalysis. This enzyme must be folded correctly as a soluble homodimer and loaded with the [4Fe-4S] metallocluster for function. Previous studies have found that K...
Geophysical Assessment of Internal Erosion Damage in LeveesNARA Subscribed
This study investigates an internal erosion site along the Crawford County Levee System in Arkansas, USA using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) lines, complemented by multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and capacitively coupled resistivity (CCR) surveys. The goal of the testing was to identify internal erosion areas and establish “best recommend practices” for future investigations of internal erosion. For the...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Environmental Variability Shapes Life‐History Trade‐Offs Within and Between Populations of a Long‐Lived SeabirdNARA Subscribed
Individuals face a trade‐off between allocating resources to reproduction or self‐maintenance, yet the drivers of the existence and strength of such trade‐off have been hard to determine. Environmental conditions are thought to play a crucial role, as long‐lived species are predicted to favour more precautionary life‐history strategies in variable environments. However, empirical evidence remains limited. Using long‐term monit...
Diversity and Potential Endemism of New Zealand Freshwater Rotifers Revealed Using Mitochondrial DNA BarcodesNARA Subscribed
Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around 355 known from New Zealand; only four of these are currently recognised as e...
Branchial localization of acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) excreting ionocytes in Amazonian stenohaline freshwater Potamotrygon rayNARA Subscribed
The branchial epithelium of Potamotrygon —a member of the only strictly freshwater elasmobranch family Potamotrygonidae—was observed via immunohistochemistry, and two distinct forms of ionocytes were identified. The acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) secreting cells with respective basolateral–apical localizations of Na + /K + ‐ATPase–Na + /H + exchanger 3 in A‐type and V‐type H + ‐ATPase–pendrin Cl − /HCO 3 − exchanger in B‐type...
