Uncovering the Calls of Data‐Deficient Masked Owls Using Morphology and Environmental GradientsNARA Subscribed
Aim To test whether vocal characteristics of little‐known and ‘lost’ owl species can be inferred from environmentally driven morphological and vocal correlations, using the Australian Masked Owl ( Tyto novaehollandiae ) as a model system. Location Australasia. Taxon Australian Masked Owl ( T. novaehollandiae superspecies, Tytonidae). Methods We fit linear models to examine the relationship between environmental variables (lati...
Arid Soil Bacterial Legacies Improve Drought Resilience of the Keystone Grass, Themeda triandraNARA Subscribed
Plant–microbe interactions are critical to ecosystem functioning and impact soil legacies, where plants exert a lasting influence on the microbial and physicochemical conditions of the soils in which they grow. These soil legacies can affect subsequent plant growth and fitness. Specifically, biotic soil legacies can influence microbially associated plant fitness through the movement of soil microbiota in a two‐step selection p...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Diversified crop rotations have been suggested to reduce grain yield losses from the adverse climatic conditions increasingly common under climate change. Nevertheless, the potential for climate change adaptation of different crop rotational diversity (CRD) remains undetermined. We quantified how climatic conditions affect small grain and maize yields under different CRDs in 32 long‐term (10–63 years) field experiments across...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Low light intensities increase avoidance behaviour of diurnal fish species: implications for use of road culverts by fishNARA Subscribed
Inadequately designed culverts can be physical barriers to fish passage if they increase the velocity of water flow in the environment, alter natural turbulence patterns or fail to provide adequate water depth. They may also act as behavioural barriers to fish passage if they affect the willingness of fish species to enter or pass through the structure due to altered ambient light conditions. To understand how reduced light in...
GeoChip‐based analysis of functional microbial communities during the reoxidation of a bioreduced uranium‐contaminated aquiferNARA Subscribed
Summary A pilot‐scale system was established for in situ biostimulation of U(VI) reduction by ethanol addition at the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Field Research Center (Oak Ridge, TN). After achieving U(VI) reduction, stability of the bioreduced U(IV) was evaluated under conditions of (i) resting (no ethanol injection), (ii) reoxidation by introducing dissolved oxygen (DO), and (iii) reinjection of ethanol. GeoChip, a fu...
