The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two MillenniaNARA Subscribed
Tropical peatland wildfire incidence has risen in recent decades, driven by drainage for land use and intensified by severe droughts with global climate change. These disturbances have altered vegetation structure, disrupted ecosystem functioning, and increased carbon emissions, particularly in Southeast Asia. However, the long‐term history and characteristics of wildfires in tropical peatlands remain largely unknown. Here, we...
Global Marine Flyways Identified for Long‐Distance Migrating Seabirds From Tracking DataNARA Subscribed
Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes (‘marine flyways’) used by multiple pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989–2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated a comprehensive global tracking dataset that included the mig...
Connectivity between Siberian river runoff and the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning CirculationNARA Subscribed
Freshwater from the Arctic participates in the globally important Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). We use high‐resolution, in situ observations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence to trace the origins of freshwater and organic carbon in the densest component of the AMOC, namely Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW). We find a distinct terrestrial DOM signal in DSOW and trace it upstream to the Sibe...
Dosimetric comparison of proton therapy and CyberKnife in stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver cancersNARA Subscribed
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been increasingly used for the ablation of liver tumours. CyberKnife and proton beam therapy (PBT) are two advanced treatment technologies suitable to deliver SBRT with high dose conformity and steep dose gradients. However, there is very limited data comparing the dosimetric characteristics of CyberKnife to PBT for liver SBRT. PBT and CyberKnife plans were retrospectively generat...
Global phylogeography of ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys spp.): evolution, demography, connectivity, and conservationNARA Subscribed
Globally distributed marine taxa are well suited for investigations of biogeographic impacts on genetic diversity, connectivity, and population demography. The sea turtle genus Lepidochelys includes the wide-ranging and abundant olive ridley ( L. olivacea ), and the geographically restricted and ‘Critically Endangered’ Kemp’s ridley ( L. kempii ). To investigate their historical biogeography, we analyzed a large dataset of mit...
The proposed Anthropocene Epoch/Series is underpinned by an extensive array of mid‐20 th century stratigraphic event signalsNARA Subscribed
The extensive array of mid‐20 th century stratigraphic event signals associated with the ‘Great Acceleration’ enables precise and unambiguous recognition of the Anthropocene as an epoch/series within the Geological Time Scale. A mid‐20 th century inception is consistent with Earth System science analysis in which the Anthropocene term and concept arose, and would reflect the reality that our planet has sharply exited the range...
