Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics frameworkNARA Subscribed
Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize. We assessed differences in connectivity, genetic variation, and numbers of breeders among scalloped hammerheads ( Sphy...
Introduction Citizen science is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach for monitoring marine non-indigenous species (NIS), range-expanding species (RES), and cryptogenic taxa. This study evaluates the outcomes of the Spot the Alien campaign in Maltese waters between 2022 and 2025. Methods A total of 441 expert-validated records of 30 NIS, RES and cryptogenic species were analysed to assess temporal and spatial reportin...
Mineral Stabilization Slows Losses of Peatland Carbon Following Long‐Term Drainage for AgricultureNARA Subscribed
Cultivated peatlands are a major CO 2 emission source, but the processes that regulate the decomposition of drained peat are debated, especially as drained peat becomes increasingly shallow. Many cultivated peatlands are underlain by a mineral soil layer. Surface subsidence, oxidation and tillage reduce the peat thickness, which intermixes peat with minerals as peat is lost. A key question is whether this mixing can reduce emi...
Introduction Continuous wave (CW) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used in skeletal muscle tissue hemodynamic and respiratory research utilizing fixed light scattering assumptions. Purpose Compare reproducibility and technical characteristics of CW-NIRS against frequency-domain (FD)-NIRS, which allows for intra-individual scattering correction. Methods Muscle blood flow (mBF) and oxygen uptake ( $${\text{m}\dot{\tex...
