A climate services organization supporting coastal resilience: lessons from the Stone Living LabNARA Subscribed
There is a growing recognition that effective climate adaptation requires organizations that can translate science into policy-relevant, place-based implementation. The Stone Living Lab (SLL) was established as a climate services organization to help bridge the gap between climate adaptation research and real-world application. In this paper, we present the Lab as a model for how universities and NGOs can partner with governme...
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...
Climate-driven decline of Norway spruce in Central Europe: a threshold crossing in the warming Carpathian BasinNARA Subscribed
Norway spruce ( Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is an ecologically and economically important conifer species that naturally dominates European boreal forests, the subalpine regions of the Alps, and the Carpathians. It is also widely planted beyond its native distribution area. In 2023, a significant spruce dieback was detected in the Carpathian Basin. To assess the extent of the damage, self-reported data were collected from citizen...
Whole blood transcriptional signatures of age and survival identified in long life family and integrative longevity omics studiesNARA Subscribed
Although aging is a universal event, some individuals are able to achieve extreme longevity. The Long-Life Family Study (LLFS) enrolls participants from families enriched with long-lived individuals, serves as a valuable dataset for studying ageing phenotypes and identify potential intervention targets. We analyzed the association between age at blood draw and 16,284 RNAseq-based blood transcriptomic data from 2,167 LLFS parti...
This study provides a sensitivity analysis of the main physicochemical (PC) oceanographic variables (pressure-depth, bottom water temperature and salinity) that control the theoretical stability of marine gas hydrates and quantifies their relative importance. It focuses on how glacial-interglacial periods, such as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), influence the variability of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) thickness along...
The dynamic balance between primary production and herbivory is key to the resilience of plant‐dominated ecosystems across the world. However, many vegetated ecosystems are becoming increasingly susceptible to herbivore‐triggered collapses, as this balance is disrupted due to predator declines, increasing nutrients, and other interacting impacts of global change. Yet without accessible, cost‐effective tools to evaluate the pro...
Impairments in emotional regulation and mood symptoms are interrelated and associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD) risk, but the underlying aberrant neural circuitry involved is poorly understood. In the present study, we examined alterations in effective (directional) connectivity (EC) during emotional face processing in individuals with and without AUD. We utilized functional MRI data from the Human Connectome Project obt...
With over 40 years of history, the multi-jurisdictional effort to restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem has yielded some positive outcomes with water quality and natural resources showing measurable signs of improvement. The lessons learned from this multi-year, multi-jurisdictional restoration effort can provide understanding and guidance for ecosystem restoration efforts elsewhere. The 10 “lessons learned” from...
Aim Evolutionary diversification and diversity patterns in Neotropical freshwater fishes can be predicted, in part, by the effects of geomorphological settings and landscape evolution. However, studies at a continental scale, focusing on specific taxa that reflect the tight connection between their evolutionary history and orogenic uplifts on the tectonically active Western margin and watershed migration dynamics on the passiv...
Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...
Macroalgae detritus decomposition and cross‐shelf carbon export from shallow and deep reefsNARA Subscribed
Macroalgal forests have been suggested to export substantial amounts of carbon to deep ocean sinks and could account for 27–34% of annual blue carbon sequestered in Australia. However, a major knowledge gap concerns how carbon in the detrital tissue of the dominant seaweed species is remineralized as it is exported offshore. We quantified decomposition and carbon content in detrital tissue of dominant canopy‐forming seaweeds E...
