Population Genomics of a Cosmopolitan Weed Provides Insights Into Its Local Adaptation and Recent Demographic HistoryNARA Subscribed
Invasive plant species present a growing ecological and economic challenge, and often adapt rapidly to their novel environments through complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Invasion genomics offers powerful tools to disentangle these processes, but most studies rely on geographically narrow sampling across native and non‐native ranges. Erigeron canadensis is a cosmopolitan weed native to North America that has succe...

Non-Linear Device Head Coupling and Temporal Delays in Large Animal Acceleration Models of Traumatic Brain InjuryNARA Subscribed
Accurate characterization of head kinematics following an external blow represents a fundamental aspect of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. The majority of previous large animal studies have assumed an equivalent relationship between the device delivering the impulsive load and subsequent head kinematics rather than performing direct measurement (sensors or videography). The current study therefore examined factors affec...
The ability of remaining glomerular podocytes to adapt to the loss of their neighbours decreases with ageNARA Subscribed
Progressive podocyte loss is a feature of healthy ageing. While previous studies have reported age-related changes in podocyte number, density and size and associations with proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis, few studies have examined how the response of remaining podocytes to podocyte depletion changes with age. Mild podocyte depletion was induced in Pod Cre iDTR mice aged 1, 6, 12 and 18 months via intraperitoneal administr...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
Marine snow was implicated in the transport of oil to the seafloor during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but the exact processes remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the concentrations and distributions of the 16 USEPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine snow aggregates collected during a mesocosm experiment. Seawater only, oil in a water accommodated fraction (WAF), and Corexit-enhance...
The management of landscapes for biological conservation and ecologically sustainable natural resource use are crucial global issues. Research for over two decades has resulted in a large literature, yet there is little consensus on the applicability or even the existence of general principles or broad considerations that could guide landscape conservation. We assess six major themes in the ecology and conservation of landscap...
