Black Carp M ylopharyngodon piceus reproductive development and maturation in the M ississippi R iver basinNARA Subscribed
Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus are native to most major east Asian drainages and are internationally cultured for use as a food‐fish or a biological control for molluscs. We describe the reproductive biology of Black Carp from the growing invasive population in the Mississippi River basin through examination of incidental commercial fisheries and biologist captures. Our objectives were to assess (1) reproductive development...
Features of possible regional ionospheric memory manifested themselves at low-latitudes under solar eclipse conditions.
Vegetation Biomass Estimation Using 3D Ground-Based Point Clouds: A Systematic ReviewNARA Subscribed
Purpose of Review Ground-based 3D point cloud technologies, including static terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), mobile laser scanning (MLS), and close-range photogrammetry, are increasingly used for estimation of aboveground vegetation biomass as they provide detailed structural representations across vegetation types; however, a comprehensive synthesis of how point-cloud data are translated into biomass estimates remains lacki...
Cryptic coral reef microhabitats and the functional role of brittle stars in biogenic sediment generationNARA Subscribed
Recent studies have highlighted the ecological importance of cryptic habitat space on coral reefs. These microhabitats, ranging from framework cavities to intra-branch space within marine macroalgae, can harbour diverse and ecologically relevant taxa. Here we show that brittle stars, ubiquitous across such cryptic habitats (reported densities exceeding 100 ind. m −2 ), represent an important, but previously neglected, source o...
Integrated assessment of toxic elements in PM10 during cold season in a coastal city of southern PeruNARA Subscribed
This study evaluated concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 µm (PM10) and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in three urban zones of Ilo, a coastal city in southern Peru, during the cold season (July–October 2022). The cold season is characterised by greater atmospheric stability and a lower mixing layer height, which favours pollutant accumulation and scenarios of higher potential exposure. Three c...
Cancer is projected to become the leading cause of death in Brazil within the next decade. Despite this growing burden, oncology education remains inconsistently structured in undergraduate medical curricula, potentially limiting physicians’ preparedness for cancer care. To compare expectations and perceptions of oncology education between independent cohorts of first- and sixth-year medical students and to assess whether acad...
The germline MLH1 c.-42 C > T (rs41285097) promoter variant has been identified in cases with MLH1-deficient colorectal or endometrial cancers but remains a variant of uncertain significance. Genetic testing identified two new MLH1 c.-42 C > T index cases from Australia and the USA. Clinicopathologic and molecular characterisation of tumour and non-neoplastic tissues was performed to investigate the potential mechanism of path...
