Exponentially increasing microplastic accumulation in an urban estuary: insights from the Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island seafloorNARA Subscribed
Narragansett Bay, RI, has experienced decades of anthropogenic impacts and as a result has been a hotspot for pollution research. Most recently, microplastic pollution is of increasing concern, with data showing high levels of microplastic contamination on shorelines and in surface sediments. Plastic production worldwide has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s, and this system-wide chronologic study uses seabed and m...
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Green Status of Species (GSS), introduced in 2021, is a global standard of measurement used to assess the level to which a species has recovered (i.e., is viable and providing its ecological function across its entire range). It is also used to evaluate how a species has responded to past conservation actions and the expected conservation gains and recovery potential it...
Priorities, concerns, and potential compromises amongst urban forest stakeholders: international lessons from Aotearoa New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Urban forests provide numerous benefits including habitat for wildlife, improving human health, purifying air and water, and preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change. The need to protect and improve our urban forests will only increase as populations increase and cities densify and expand over time. However, urban forest establishment and maintenance is challenging due to a lack of effective policies, delays, la...
Eutrophication and Warming Drive Algal Community Shifts in Synchronised Time Series of Experimental LakesNARA Subscribed
Lake ecosystems are increasingly impacted by eutrophication and climate change. Whole‐lake experiments have provided ecosystem‐scale insights into the effects of freshwater stressors, yet these are constrained to the duration of monitoring programmes. Here, we leveraged multidecadal monitoring records and century‐scale paleogenetic reconstructions for experimentally fertilised and unmanipulated lakes in the IISD Experimental L...
Human activities such as agriculture and urban development are linked to water quality degradation. Canada represents a large and heterogeneous landscape of freshwater lakes, where variations in climate, geography and geology interact with land cover alteration to influence water quality differently across regions. In this study, we investigated the influence of water quality and land use on bacterial communities across 12 eco...
Endoscopic screening for identification of signet ring cell gastric cancer foci in carriers of germline pathogenic variants in CDH1NARA Subscribed
To determine the preoperative detection of signet ring cancer cells (SRC) on upper endoscopy (EGD) in patients with CDH1 pathogenic variant (PV) undergoing gastrectomy. To evaluate the development of advanced diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) in patients choosing surveillance. Guidelines recommend prophylactic total gastrectomy (pTG) in CDH1 PV carriers with family history of DGC between 18 and 40 years. Annual EGD with biopsies ac...
