Jaguar Range‐Wide Connectivity: Prioritising Core Areas and Corridors Between and Within Protected Areas and Indigenous LandsNARA Subscribed
Anthropogenic habitat transformation has led to population declines and increasing isolation of populations of many species, particularly top predators, where small and fragmented populations often experience limited dispersal and reduced genetic diversity. Jaguars ( Panthera onca ), for example, have lost half of their historical range and most populations outside the Amazon biome are small, isolated and highly threatened. He...
Purpose Many abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients develop intraluminal thrombus (ILT), but the role of ILT in AAA progression and rupture is poorly understood. Methods To evaluate ILT in AAAs, we induced AAAs in C57Bl6/J mice via surgical application of topical elastase to the abdominal aorta below the renal arteries and administration of β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) in drinking water. Ultrasound images of these AAAs were c...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Purpose of Review Radiotherapy serves as a palliative option for alleviating cancer pain but can also elicit chest wall pain following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The etiology of chest wall pain remains unclear but may relate to SBRT effects on normal ribs and responses from activated osteoclasts. This review explores potential mechanisms and treatment strategies for this increasingly common complication for patient...
Genomic Architecture of Inbreeding Depression Associated With Hatching Failure in an Endangered ParrotNARA Subscribed
Conservation management of endangered species increasingly relies on genomic approaches to understand how long‐term small population sizes affect the fitness of extant individuals. However, despite the growing investment in genomic resources by conservation programmes, the impact that sequencing methods have on the ability to detect inbreeding‐related phenomena has been largely overlooked. Here, we compare the use of whole‐gen...
Global Patterns and Drivers of Seagrass Biomass, Net Primary Production and Meadow StructureNARA Subscribed
Aim We decipher global patterns in seagrass growth and structure to advance seagrass science, facilitate multidisciplinary research, and promote effective management strategies and policy development for seagrass habitats. Location: Global. Time period: 1975 to 2024. Major taxa studied: Seagrasses—marine angiosperms. Methods A global data set on seagrass total biomass, total net primary productivity (NPP), shoot density, and p...
