Comparative Transcriptomic Analyses Identify Candidate Genes for Convergent Reproductive Shifts in a Bimodal Viviparous AmphibianNARA Subscribed
Shifts in reproductive mode represent key evolutionary innovations that shape species' life histories and evolutionary trajectories. Species showing bimodal reproductive strategies with multiple independent origins offer a rare opportunity to gain insights into the adaptive processes and mechanisms underlying convergent traits. The fire salamander, Salamandra salamandra , is the only amphibian exhibiting intraspecific variatio...
Mapping the Distribution and Conservation Status of Mature and Old Growth Forests Across Coastal Alaska and British ColumbiaNARA Subscribed
Old growth forests in coastal Alaska and British Columbia represent some of the most expansive temperate rainforests on Earth, supporting high biodiversity, substantial carbon stocks, and the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities. Despite their importance, spatially consistent information on the distribution of old growth and mature forests in this region remains limited. We addressed this gap by integrating data across...
With over half of people with HIV (PWH) in the U.S. entering older adulthood, identifying markers to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its precursor, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), from other forms of neurocognitive impairment among PWH is urgent. We examined how HIV and aMCI status relate to AD CSF biomarkers in adult PWH and people without HIV (PWoH) characterized for aMCI. We included 80 PWH from the Nati...
In late June 2021, multiple days of record‐breaking heat caused an unprecedented amount of foliage death in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, USA. Portions of tree canopies with healthy green foliage prior to the heat changed to red or orange shortly after the event. The change in foliage color could be readily seen in satellite imagery and was corroborated as foliar death (heat scorch) by aerial surveys and extensive obse...
Hydrogeology, European colonialism, local communities and First Peoples: moving beyond business as usualNARA Subscribed
European colonialism altered the connections between First Peoples, local communities, and groundwater systems across the world. In many countries, the practice of hydrogeology remains intertwined with the economic agendas of colonial settler communities, making colonialism a useful lens through which to consider our work. This paper briefly summarizes connections between First Peoples, local communities and groundwater, as we...
In the last 2 decades, UK research institutes have led a wide range of developments in marine data assimilation (MDA), covering areas from operational applications in physics and biogeochemistry to fundamental theory. We highlight the emergence of strong collaboration in the UK MDA community over this period and the increasing unification of its tools. We focus on identifying the MDA stakeholder community and current/future ar...
