Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Anthropogenic land use and land cover change (LULCC), combined with ongoing climate variability, poses significant challenges to environmental protection areas (EPAs) by altering ecosystem structure, degrading vegetation integrity, and disrupting local climate regulation. Despite their importance, traditional LULCC approaches often fail to incorporate dynamic environmental drivers, limiting their capacity to represent complex...
A case for monitoring fungi of clinical relevance at beaches: enterococci measures do not correlate with all disease risksNARA Subscribed
Fungal disease is on the rise, coupled with fungal pathogens increasing in geographic range. Studies have shown that viable fungal pathogens may be present in beach sand and water, and consequently, efforts are ongoing in Europe to develop guidelines for fungi levels at beaches. In the USA, fungal diseases are a growing concern, and yet, they are not subject to public health reporting, and beach environments are currently not...
Global Empirical Assessment of Marine Heatwaves’ Impacts on Fisheries Production and Economic ValueOA Marine
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have become increasingly frequent and intense, raising concerns about their impacts on fisheries production and economic value. We present a global assessment of MHW-related impacts across 2088 marine fisheries from 1985 to 2022. Using high-resolution satellite data and standardized catch production and catch value, we identified significant reductions in catch and ex-vessel value during years of elevat...
Evaluating the capability of tannic acid-modified biochar in sequestering metal ions and in enhancing soil healthNARA Subscribed
Pollution of soils is one of the currently significant environmental concerns. Heavy metals that contaminate the soil can have harmful effects on crops, enter the food chain, and pose a threat to human health. Various approaches have been employed in the past to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils for agricultural use, including the use of biochar and its modified forms through physical or chemical methods. In the present...
Hurricanes are extreme climatic events frequently affecting tropical regions such as the tropical dry forests (TDFs) in Mexico, where its frequency/intensity is expected to increase toward the year 2100. To answer how resistant is a Mexican tropical dry forest to a high-intensity hurricane, and if its degree of resistance was mediated by its conservation degree, we evaluated the effect of a category 4 hurricane over the tree c...
Multimodal brain age prediction using machine learning: combining structural MRI and 5-HT2AR PET-derived featuresNARA Subscribed
To better assess the pathology of neurodegenerative disorders and the efficacy of neuroprotective interventions, it is necessary to develop biomarkers that can accurately capture age-related biological changes in the human brain. Brain serotonin 2A receptors (5-HT2AR) show a particularly profound age-related decline and are also reduced in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. This study investigates whethe...
A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviourNARA Subscribed
Aim Squamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate. Locatio...
