Transsynaptic neural circuit mapping of ventral hippocampus motivational control systemsNARA Subscribed
The ventral hippocampus contributes to food intake regulation and a range of motivational and memory processes, and its dysfunction is associated with several cognitive and behavioral disorders. However, its circuit-level organization remains incompletely understood. Ventral CA1 (CA1v) neurons send projections to several regions involved in motivational control. Here we focus on three major forebrain targets: the nucleus accum...
Global Study of Plant‐Herbivore Interactions Reveals Similar Patterns of Herbivory Across Native and Non‐Native PlantsNARA Subscribed
A core hypothesis in invasion and community ecology is that species interaction patterns should differ between native and non‐native species due to non‐native species lacking a long evolutionary history in their resident communities. Numerous studies testing this hypothesis yield conflicting results, often focusing on mean interaction rates and overlooking the substantial within‐population variability in species interactions....
Metabolic Profiles of Encapsulated Chondrocytes Exposed to Short-Term Simulated MicrogravityNARA Subscribed
The mechanism by which chondrocytes respond to reduced mechanical loading environments and the subsequent risk of developing osteoarthritis remains unclear. This is of particular concern for astronauts. In space the reduced joint loading forces during prolonged microgravity (10 −6 g) exposure could lead to osteoarthritis (OA), compromising quality of life post-spaceflight. In this study, we encapsulated human chondrocytes in a...
Omega-3 world map: 2024 updateNARA Subscribed
The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Application version 2 (MERRA-2) is a well-established reanalysis dataset and is widely used for driving global-scale hydrological models. However, owing to its relatively coarse spatial resolution (0.5°), the capability of MERRA-2 is repeatedly challenged in regional-scale studies, especially for smaller areas of interest. In addition, the availability of in situ observati...
Numerous seabird species are experiencing population declines, and this trend is expected to continue or even accelerate in the future. To understand the effects of environmental change on seabird populations, long-term studies are vital, but rare. Here, we present over four decades (1978–2020) of population dynamic and reproductive performance data of Wilson’s Storm Petrels ( Oceanites oceanicus ) from King George Island (Isl...
From reflection diaries to practical guidance for transdisciplinary research: learnings from a Kenyan air pollution projectNARA Subscribed
Transdisciplinary research (TDR) approaches have been cited as essential for overcoming the intractable sustainability challenges that the world is currently facing, including air pollution, water management and climate change. However, such approaches can be difficult to undertake in practice and can consequently fail to add value. Therefore, examples of what works in practice (and what does not) are helpful to guide future r...
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...
Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is a rare autosomal potassium channelopathy, due to mutations in KCNA1 . Patients have childhood onset of intermittent attacks of ataxia, dizziness or imbalance. In order to quantify the natural history of EA1, its effect on quality of life and in preparation for future clinical trials, we set up an international multi-centre study of EA1. We recruited thirty-three participants with EA1: twenty-thr...
Cover ImageNARA Subscribed
Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals and the mobilisation of substantial resources. While the reasons are varied, investments in both research and conservation of freshwater biodiversity lag far behind those in the terrestrial and marine realms. Inspired by a global consultation, we identify 15 pressing priority needs, grouped into five research...
Genetics and telemetry indicate unexpected movements among structured populations for Brachyplatystoma platynemum in the AmazonNARA Subscribed
The genetic analysis of Brachyplatystoma platynemum individuals sampled from the lower Madeira River reinforces the existence of two structured populations in the Amazon Basin (Madeira and Amazon populations). However, the recapture of an individual from the Amazon population in the Solimões River, which was telemetry‐tagged in the Madeira River after the damming, indicates that fish from the Amazon population move between the...
