Place attachment and agroforestry adoptionNARA Subscribed
Conventional row crop farming in the United States is associated with multiple environmental challenges including soil and water degradation and decreased biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture advocates have encouraged agroforestry, or the integration of woody perennial crops like trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, to ameliorate environmental challenges and provide on-farm benefits. Despite promised environmental bene...
The submerged Early Holocene landscape of the Carmel Coast (Israel) has yielded remarkable evidence of Neolithic settlements and their associated material culture, preserved on and within the seafloor. Here, we report on the preliminary documentation of a newly discovered submerged Neolithic site near N. Mearot Inlet, containing series of rectangular clay basins arranged in a grid pattern. Following their initial identificatio...
Continental‐wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat‐specific goals for avian biodiversity conservationNARA Subscribed
The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas. Based on a pan‐European database for occurrence and abundance of breeding birds collected in the 2010s, we app...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
The objective of this research was to characterize potato peel flour, evaluate which solvent was best for extracting the phenolic compounds (PC), and optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction by investigating the linear and squared effects and their interaction in recovering these compounds using an RCCD experimental design and response surface methodology associated with a desirability graph. The potato peel was donated by...
Land Use Change Reshapes Climate‐Driven Diversity Patterns of Tropical Arbuscular Mycorrhizal FungiNARA Subscribed
Land use change and agricultural expansion threaten biodiversity yet the effects on soil life remain poorly understood, especially for microbes. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are microbes that form associations with most plant species and are essential for plant nutrient uptake. The diversity of these fungi is also sensitive to both land use change and regional climatic conditions. We therefore asked whether variation in A...
Relocated, range-limited, but resilient: niche shift and constraints on spread in introduced Nanday parakeets (Aratinga nenday)NARA Subscribed
Introduced species often encounter novel environments that test their capacity for ecological flexibility and adaptation. We investigated ecological niche dynamics in Nanday Parakeets ( Aratinga nenday ), a naturalized parrot species in Los Angeles, to assess whether their introduced range reflects a shift from their native range in South America. Using principal components analysis and niche overlap tests, we found that the i...
Anthropogenic activities have a profound impact on ecosystems, threatening species and contributing to increased extinction rates. Among them are some Leporidae species, for which ecological data remains insufficient to support effective conservation. This study aimed to monitor the status of the volcano rabbit ( Romerolagus diazi ), eastern cottontail ( Sylvilagus floridanus ), and Mexican cottontail ( Sylvilagus cunicularius...
Inhibiting Amikacin Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria with Cadmium and PyrithioneNARA Subscribed
The ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis is one of the most pressing public health challenges. Multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens are reaching the point where some are becoming untreatable. Consequently, besides discovering novel antibiotics, alternative strategies must be explored to manage the problem. One approach is developing inhibitors that overcome resistance to antibiotics currently in use. Resistance to aminoglyc...
