Introduction Arctic warming has resulted in substantial decreases in sea ice and a longer open-water season. This is occurring concurrently with changes in Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort bowhead whale seasonal movements and increasing vessel traffic through Bering Strait, which may increase strike risk. Methods To assess vessel traffic relative to bowhead whale distributions before (2013/14–2016/17), during (2017/18), and after (2018...
Macrofauna accelerates nutrient cycling through litterfall in cocoa agroforestry systemsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to better understand nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) cycling through litterfall in smallholder cocoa agroforestry systems and to assess if these nutrient flows can be measured using standard litterbags. Annual litter production, relative mass loss, and nutrient loss rates from cocoa leaf litter were evaluated in three farms in south-western Nigeria with and without macrofauna access. Litterfall...
Towards a Model-Based Interpretation of Measurements of Mineralogical and Chemical CompositionsNARA Subscribed
We introduce a new methodology for inference of fluid composition from measurements of mineralogical or chemical compositions, expanding upon the use of reactive transport models to understand hydrothermal alteration processes. The reactive transport models are used to impute a latent variable explanatory mechanism in the formation of hydrothermal alteration zones and mineral deposits. An expectation maximisation algorithm is...
The relevance of pedigrees in the conservation genomics eraNARA Subscribed
Over the past 50 years conservation genetics has developed a substantive toolbox to inform species management. One of the most long‐standing tools available to manage genetics—the pedigree—has been widely used to characterize diversity and maximize evolutionary potential in threatened populations. Now, with the ability to use high throughput sequencing to estimate relatedness, inbreeding, and genome‐wide functional diversity,...
Sea turtles tend to accumulate high metal levels in their tissues and are considered excellent pollution bioindicators. Studies concerning metal contamination in hatchlings, however, are non-existent for one of the most abundant species in Brazil, green sea turtles, while several other metal assessments in juvenile muscles are still scarce. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the concentrations of 12 elements in kidne...
Decadal shifts in autumn migration timing by Pacific Arctic beluga whales are related to delayed annual sea ice formationNARA Subscribed
Migrations are often influenced by seasonal environmental gradients that are increasingly being altered by climate change. The consequences of rapid changes in Arctic sea ice have the potential to affect migrations of a number of marine species whose timing is temporally matched to seasonal sea ice cover. This topic has not been investigated for Pacific Arctic beluga whales ( Delphinapterus leucas ) that follow matrilineally m...
