Muscle architectural and performance adaptations following an 8-week sprint-focused training interventionNARA Subscribed
Muscle fascicle length is a key determinant of sprint performance, with lengthening adaptations observed following eccentric strength training or combined sprint and resistance interventions. However, whether sprint-focused training can induce meaningful architectural adaptations, independent of concurrent sport-related training, remains unclear. Fourteen participants (10 female, 4 male; age 21.6 ± 3.3 years; body mass 68.0 ±...
Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) are among the most important aquaculture species but are highly susceptible to Vibrio infections. Novel disease management strategies are necessary. Previous studies have reported that peracetic acid (PAA) is an effective disinfectant, but its application in shrimp aquaculture remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) of PAA at tw...
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...
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...
Motorways, drought and wildfire: do they shape trajectories of arboreal mammal populations in eastern Australia?NARA Subscribed
Motorways have the potential to create barriers to the movement of wildlife, increase mortality and cause edge effects, producing declines in abundance in nearby habitat. We investigated the response of six nocturnal arboreal mammal species to the construction of a new motorway in eastern Australia: five gliding species (three small, 500 g) and one generalist non-gliding species (4 kg). The two large gliding species are listed...
Drivers of compositional turnover of the non-native urban flora in the Western Cape, South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Interest in understanding the drivers of biological invasions in urban centres is increasing globally. Previous research focused primarily on the drivers of non-native species richness in urban centres (i.e. why some cities harbour more species than others) and there has been much less focus on compositional turnover (i.e. why different cities harbour different species). Exploring compositional turnover between urban centres c...
