Context matters: emotional responses to urban greening interventions depend on city settingNARA Subscribed
Urban green spaces deliver a remarkable range of human health and well-being benefits, and there is substantial, global effort into incorporating urban greening into the design of cities. However, intense competition for space in cities means small interstitial gaps in the urban fabric are being used for many contemporary green spaces, such as planter boxes or raised garden beds. These small urban greening interventions have b...
Comparing phosphatised galleried stereom of Ordovician Cincinnaticrinus to modern Endoxocrinus illustrates preservation by micromoldingNARA Subscribed
Fossil echinoderm ossicles are often occluded by syntaxial overgrowths which obscure stereom. Phosphatized ossicles from insoluble residues show fine microstructure. We investigated phosphatized stereom in Cincinnaticrinus columnals in insoluble residues from the Ordovician around Cincinnati, Ohio USA. Microstructures appeared to be stereom micromolds. We tested this hypothesis by examining residue and thin sections of undisso...
Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservationNARA Subscribed
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time. Sharks, rays, and chimaeras (Chondrichthyes) have now been comprehensively assessed twice (1996–2011 and 2012–2021) with hindcast assessments from 1970 onward, yielding an unprece...
Correlation between DNA methylation and transcriptomic changes in golden Asian sea bass ( Lates calcarifer ): An integrated approachNARA Subscribed
Lates calcarifer , commonly known as barramundi perch, Asian sea bass or barramundi, is a significant aquaculture species across the Indo‐Pacific. Barramundi typically exhibit a silver to bronze wild‐type (WT) skin colour, with occasional golden (xanthic) variants of commercial interest. Although previous studies have identified gene expression differences between golden and WT variants, the genetic mechanism driving golden co...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
The Marsupial Database: A comprehensive dataset on the ecology and life history of American and Australasian marsupialsNARA Subscribed
Marsupials are an important but typically neglected group of mammals that have been overlooked in many comparative analyses of vertebrate ecology and life history evolution. In order to address this knowledge bias, we have developed The Marsupial Database. The Marsupial Database contains traits for a phylogenetically diverse set of 414 extant and recently extinct (last 200 years) species from all seven modern marsupial orders...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Beyond strength: dietary nitrate augments self-selected functional mobility after resistance training in middle-aged adultsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...
Durability of the moderate-to-heavy intensity transition can be predicted using readily available markers of physiological decouplingNARA Subscribed
Purpose To assess relationships between heart rate (HR), ventilation (̇ $$\dot V$$ V ˙ E ), and respiratory frequency (F R ) decoupling and durability of the first ventilatory threshold (VT 1 ), and the strength of practical models to predict power output at VT 1 during prolonged exercise. Methods Durability of VT 1 was assessed via measurements of power output at VT 1 before and after ~ 2.5-h of initially moderate-intensity c...
