Environmental filtering shapes biosynthetic potential and resistome of antarctic microbiomesNARA Subscribed
Environmental filtering is a major driver of microbial community assembly in Antarctic ecosystems, yet its influence on biosynthetic potential and antimicrobial resistance remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 319 medium- to high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) recovered from four Antarctic sites (Whalers Bay, Crater Lake, Fumarole Bay, and Hannah Point) to investigate the relationship between geochemical gr...
The high-value tropical sea cucumber Holothuria ( Metriatyla ) scabra or sandfish is central to the ‘400+ year old global’, bêche-de-mer trade. Consequently, it has faced heavy exploitation and has become extirpated in some regions within its broader Indo-Pacific natural distribution. Recent molecular evidence has provided clarity on its taxonomic identity, indicating it comprises a species complex, with four broad lineages de...
Animals maintain close associations with diverse microbiota that inhabit their digestive tracts, and these associations can profoundly affect host physiology and fitness. Gut microbiome composition is shaped by both host traits and environmental factors, yet the relative importance of these forces remains unclear in many taxa, including squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). To address this gap, we analysed the gut microbiome...
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...
Objective and design This study investigated the antinociceptive potential and mechanisms of Protectin DX (PDX) in a KO 2 -induced inflammatory pain. Treatment Male mice received PDX (1, 3, or 10 ng) or vehicle (0.7% ethanol in sterile saline) intraperitoneally (i.p.), 1 h before KO 2 (30 µg intraplantar [i.pl.] or 1 mg [i.p.]). Methods Upon KO 2 injection, evoked (mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, and mechanical allodynia)...
Understanding how physical transport mechanisms influence coral reef temperature dynamics is crucial for effective management. Typically, sea surface temperature (SST) is used to estimate coral heat stress, yet subsurface physical processes can significantly influence reef temperature dynamics and are imperative to consider in predictive efforts. Using observations and a 3D numerical model, we conducted a volume‐based temperat...
Aim The temperature‐size rule is often described as a reduction in ectothermic asymptotic or maximum body size with warming. Although this coincides with the expectation that faster growth under warming would lead to larger sizes early in life but smaller sizes later in life, there remain few tests of changes in size across ontogeny. Here, we use > 99,000 observations of weight‐at‐age of commercially important fishes over 25 y...

Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
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...
