The economics of mine waste reduction: The case of ore-sandNARA Subscribed
The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
Contrasting microbial responses to polyethylene and paper-based cover residues in agricultural soil microcosmsNARA Subscribed
Aims Agricultural cover materials can generate particulate residues in soil. Polyethylene covers may contribute persistent microplastic fragments, whereas paper-based covers may generate more degradable residues whose microbial effects remain less understood. However, microbial responses to these residues can be difficult to distinguish from natural time-driven community succession during incubation. Here, we compared polyethy...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership of scientists and practitioners called the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collec...
Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic, genetic, demographic) connectivity, that together shape the flow of organisms, energy and...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Short-term effects of Greenlandic glacial rock flour on soil physical properties and maize yieldNARA Subscribed
Greenlandic glacial rock flour (GRF) serves as a valuable source of silicate minerals for CO₂ uptake through enhanced weathering. Additionally, its physico-chemical properties may influence soil hydro-physical characteristics and may also have a separate effect on crop yields. This study evaluated the effects of GRF application at 50 and 100 t/ha, along with an unamended control, on soil water content at field capacity (FC), p...
Acute nutritional ketosis during early recovery from aerobic exercise does not affect skeletal muscle transcriptomic response in humansNARA Subscribed
Purpose Nutritional ketosis is purported to enhance skeletal muscle recovery and adaptation to exercise, yet precise adaptive mechanisms are unknown. We investigated the post-exercise molecular response to ketone monoesters (KME) in skeletal muscle by characterising the early transcriptomic response. Methods Following a randomised, double-blind, crossover design, recreationally active men (n = 9, age: 26 ± 5 (means ± SD) y; V̇...
