Freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing Arctic: An expert horizon scan of key research questionsNARA Subscribed
Arctic freshwater biodiversity is rapidly changing due to climate warming, resource extraction, infrastructure development, and landscape transformation. To improve understanding, predict future responses, and inform policy formulation, research needs must be clearly identified. Using a horizon scan survey, Arctic freshwater experts from government, international agencies, and Indigenous Peoples identified 77 biodiversity rese...
Climate‐driven alterations in sea‐ice dynamics and shifting fishing activity are reshaping ecosystems across the Arctic and Antarctic, yet conservation‐relevant information for chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) remains limited. We present the first assessment of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) across Polar Waters, integrating species distributions, extinction risk, critical habitat evidence, spatial protectio...
“Going Flat” After Mastectomy: A Social Media Analysis of Patient Perspectives and Educational NeedsNARA Subscribed
Aesthetic flat closure (AFC) is a surgical option following mastectomy that aims to create a smooth chest wall. Although formally recognized by the National Cancer Institute in 2020, patients continue to report challenges in accessing AFC. Social media platforms may serve as an important source of support and education for patients considering this option. We characterized patient perspectives and experiences related to AFC th...
Improving GNSS-IR sea level retrievals using WinLSP with damping-aware height-rate correction and normalized IRLSNARA Subscribed
GNSS Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) provides an independent and cost-effective approach for monitoring coastal sea level, but current methods still have important limitations. The classical height-rate correction relies on uniform weighting, which neglects amplitude decay effects, while the WinLSP framework applies bisquare weights directly to unscaled residuals, leading to inconsistent behavior across datasets. We in...
Humpback Whale ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) Site Fidelity, Residency, and Movement Patterns in Ireland Based on Citizen Science DataNARA Subscribed
Understanding the residency and movement patterns of large cetaceans like the humpback whale is crucial for effective conservation. In Ireland, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group has been collecting humpback whale data since the 1990s, primarily through citizen science. This collective effort has contributed to the creation of the Irish Humpback Whale Photo‐identification Catalogue. Using this dataset, we assessed humpback whal...
Impacts of climate change on temperature and dissolved oxygen in an oligotrophic deep lakeNARA Subscribed
Climate change has significant effects on freshwater ecosystems, including lakes, influencing key water quality indicators such as water temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations (DO). This study uses a 3D hydrodynamic model (AEM3D) coupled with a simple biogeochemical module (iWQ) alongside observations to examine historical changes in Lake Taupō, a deep, oligotrophic lake and the largest freshwater lake in Australasia....
Stomatal Decoupling From Photosynthesis Under High Temperatures Is Consistent With Stomatal OptimisationNARA Subscribed
Stomatal pores on plant leaves regulate the gain of carbon through photosynthesis and the loss of water through transpiration. Through their responses to environmental conditions, stomata can constrain plant productivity and transpiration fluxes, exerting a strong control on climate feedbacks over land. Although mechanistic modelling of stomata remains a challenge, semi‐empirical and optimisation models have been successfully...
