Remotely Sensed Fire Heterogeneity and Biomass Recovery Predicts Empirical Biodiversity ResponsesNARA Subscribed
Aim To compare field‐based evidence of plant and animal responses to fire with remotely sensed signals of fire heterogeneity and post‐fire biomass recovery. Location South‐eastern Australia; New South Wales. Time Period 2019–2022. Major Taxa Studied A total of 982 species of plants and animals, in eight taxonomic groups: amphibians, birds, fish, insects, mammals, molluscs, plants and reptiles. Methods We collated 545,223 plant...
Activation of telomerase by TA-65 enhances immunity and reduces inflammation post myocardial infarctionNARA Subscribed
Myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates immune ageing characterised by lymphopenia, expansion of terminally differentiated CD8 + T-lymphocytes (CD8 + T EMRA ) and inflammation. Pre-clinical data showed that TA-65, an oral telomerase activator, reduced immune ageing and inflammation after MI. We conducted a double blinded randomised controlled pilot trial evaluating the use of TA-65 to reduce immune cell ageing in patients follo...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...

Evaluating the potential of full‐waveform lidar for mapping pan‐tropical tree species richnessNARA Subscribed
Aim Mapping tree species richness across the tropics is of great interest for effective conservation and biodiversity management. In this study, we evaluated the potential of full‐waveform lidar data for mapping tree species richness across the tropics by relating measurements of vertical canopy structure, as a proxy for the occupation of vertical niche space, to tree species richness. Location Tropics. Time period Present. Ma...
Translocation Causes Extinction of a Local Population of the Freshwater Shrimp Paratya australiensisNARA Subscribed
In 1993, as part of another study, we translocated freshwater shrimp ( Paratya australiensis ) between pools from two different subcatchments within the same drainage system in southeast Queensland, Australia. Subsequent analysis of the mitochondrial COI locus revealed that populations in the two subcatchments represented monophyletic lineages that were 6% divergent. Thus, we decided to determine the effects of the translocati...
