Genome‐wide associations of leaf spectral variation in MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuataNARA Subscribed
The application of in‐field and aerial spectroscopy to assess functional and phylogenetic variation in plants has led to novel ecological insights and supports global assessments of plant biodiversity. Understanding how plant genetic variation influences reflectance spectra will help harness this potential for biodiversity monitoring and improve understanding of why plants differ in functional responses to environmental change...
Divergence of Visual Morphology and Opsin Expression in an African Cichlid Linked With TurbidityNARA Subscribed
Turbidity is increasing in freshwaters globally due to human activities and is known to affect visually‐mediated behaviours in fish. As anthropogenic impacts continue to degrade aquatic environments, it is critical to determine how sensory systems are affected and what this might mean for population persistence. We investigated visual morphology and opsin gene expression in an African cichlid fish ( Pseudocrenilabrus multicolo...
Peripheral inflammation mediates the relationship between early life stress and alcohol useNARA Subscribed
Rationale Early life stress (ELS) is associated with an increased risk for alcohol consumption and development of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Inflammation may be a sex-dependent link between ELS and alcohol use; however, there is limited evidence to support such an association in individuals with AUD. Methods This secondary analysis utilized cross-sectional mediation to investigate the role of peripheral inflammation in the re...
Carbon fluxes in two temperate ponds are mediated by stratification and primary producersNARA Subscribed
Ponds influence global carbon (C) cycling due to high rates of organic C (OC) burial and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ) emissions. Here, we quantified OC burial rates and CO 2 and CH 4 concentrations and fluxes in two ponds that were similar in size and gross primary production, but differed in depth and dominant primary producers. The deeper (3.9 m) Texas Hollow Pond was phytoplankton dominated with stronger and l...
Manistee, a new Round-White Early to Mid-Season Maturing Potato Variety with Excellent Long-Term Storage PotentialNARA Subscribed
Manistee is a round white chip-processing potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) variety developed for long-term storage. Evaluated as MSL292-A, Manistee is a selection from a cross between Snowden and the chip-processing breeding line MSH098-2. The tubers of Manistee are compressed, round with shallow eyes and early to mid-season maturity. Field testing and on-farm trials show that this variety has high yield potential with specific gr...
That's So Last Season: Unraveling the Genomic Consequences of Fur Farming in Arctic Foxes ( Vulpes lagopus )NARA Subscribed
Humans have relied on animal fur for centuries, yet fur farming only began recently during the mid‐19th Century. Little is known about this incipient domestication or the genomic processes involved. Domestication may involve founder effects, population bottlenecks and low population size, which, when combined with intense artificial selection, lead to inbreeding, a limited gene pool and reduced fitness. The arctic fox ( Vulpes...
The simultaneous occurrence of heatwaves and droughts is becoming more frequent and intense under climate change, particularly affecting vulnerable regions like Northeast Brazil (NEB). This study presents a comprehensive assessment of these compound extremes using long‐term in situ observations and ERA5 reanalysis. Heatwaves were defined by daily temperatures exceeding the 90th percentile, and droughts by the standardised prec...
