SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
San Francisco Bay, California, typically has chlorophyll a (chl- a ) concentrations below 10 µg L −1 , despite nutrient loadings exceeding those in many estuaries with recurring harmful algal blooms (HABs). However, in August 2022 there was a Heterosigma akashiwo (raphidophyte) bloom with chl- a concentrations exceeding 450 µg L −1 , resulting in widespread hypoxia and fish die-off. We used protist community (18S ribosomal rib...
A Proposed Novel Neurovascular Mechanism for Brain Network Dysfunction After Traumatic InjuryNARA Subscribed
Current research in predicting traumatic brain injury risk focuses on the relationship between head impacts and the likelihood of white matter damage, often overlooking the role of neurovascular coupling in the injury response. To fill this gap, we combined biomechanical and neurodynamic principles to simulate alterations to large-scale resting-state brain activity following head impacts. We simulated cortical neural activity...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Supine-dependent OSA is a well-recognised OSA phenotype and may relate to craniofacial structure. Our aim was to assess whether craniofacial photos are able to identify positional OSA, specifically supine-isolated OSA, in comparison to non-positional OSA. Frontal and profile craniofacial photographs of participants were acquired according to a standardised protocol. Photographs were analysed and compared between non-positional...
Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledgeNARA Subscribed
Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and human well‐being relies on accurate information. Consistent approaches to classifying, describing, and assessing ecosystems can improve understanding of ecological processes, threats, and management. We explored how the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Global Ecosystem Typology—a global classification framework based on ecosystem function—could support...
Tropical Biome Switching: Ant Communities Transition From Savanna to Rainforest Following Cessation of BurningNARA Subscribed
Savannas and rainforests co‐occur as mosaics across large areas of the tropics. These mosaics are dynamic, with savanna and rainforest switching in relatively short time scales, largely through the effects of fire. Most research to date addresses such biome switching through the lens of vegetation, with little attention given to faunal responses to transitions between savannas and rainforests. Aim To assess the responses of an...
Global fire regime change is threatening terrestrial biodiversity. Understanding how these changes affect biota is essential to protect biodiversity now and into the future. A targeted examination of the mechanisms through which fire influences populations will help achieve this by enabling comparisons and connections across taxa. Here, we develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes inf...
