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...
The pilot National Cancer Institute (NCI) Awardee Skills Development Consortium (NASDC) was designed and funded by the NCI in 2019 to support a group of multi-institutional educational projects to help early-career NCI grantees remain academically competitive. Retention and academic competitiveness of early-career awardees are critical for advancing cancer research; therefore, NASDC sought to develop the next generation of lea...
History and Dynamics of an Extensive Plant Hybrid Zone on the Great Plains of North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Hybridisation affects the spatial and temporal patterns of morphological and genetic variation, shaping species evolution. Asclepias speciosa and A. syriaca provide an excellent system for uncovering how these patterns are generated. The ranges of A. speciosa and A. syriaca overlap on the North American Great Plains, and multiple intermediates are observed in this contact zone, consistent with hybridisation. However, other pro...
We analyze the frequency and amplitude of projected warming and ocean acidification extremes under high CO 2 and strongly mitigating scenarios. We find interpretational differences in projections arising from methodological choices associated with specification of stressor thresholds. Use of absolute versus distribution‐based thresholds, and, in the distribution‐based case, the inclusion or exclusion of seasonal variability, c...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
SNAPSHOT USA 2021: A third coordinated national camera trap survey of the U nited S tatesNARA Subscribed
SNAPSHOT USA is a multicontributor, long‐term camera trap survey designed to survey mammals across the United States. Participants are recruited through community networks and directly through a website application ( https://www.snapshot-usa.org/ ). The growing Snapshot dataset is useful, for example, for tracking wildlife population responses to land use, land cover, and climate changes across spatial and temporal scales. Her...
Citizen science is growing in importance for ecosystem management and long‐term monitoring. A large marine citizen‐science project operated by the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (2021, Reef environmental education foundation volunteer fish survey project database, World Wide Web electronic publication) collected logarithmic categorical data for species abundance across a number of otherwise understudied reefs in The B...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Spatial food‐web structure in the eastern tropical P acific O cean based on compound‐specific nitrogen isotope analysis of amino acidsNARA Subscribed
The effective evaluation of trophic interactions in pelagic food webs is essential for understanding food web ecology, conservation biology, and management. We tested the applicability of compound‐specific isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA‐AA) for (1) characterizing trophic positions (TPs) of nine species from four trophic groups (tunas, squids, myctophids, and euphausiids) within a pelagic food web in the eastern tropical...
