Population genetics and lineage structure of the endangered Bolivian chinchilla rat Abrocoma boliviensisNARA Subscribed
Studies on conservation genetics of endangered species can identify which populations should be the focus of management plans. The endangered Bolivian chinchilla rat, Abrocoma boliviensis , is currently threatened by its rarity and anthropogenically driven transformation of the landscape it inhabits. Given its conservation status, restricted geographic range and limited information about its natural history, understanding how...
Middle Bronze Age axes from the eastern Adriatic: towards the reconstruction of copper supply networks in the 2nd millennium BCNARA Subscribed
This study presents chemical (ED-XRF) and lead isotope (HR-MC-ICP-MS) analyses of 29 bronze axes recovered along the eastern Adriatic coast, offering new insights into the metallurgical background of archaeological types with distinct distribution patterns. The analysed axes date from the Middle to the early Late Bronze Age (17th − 14th centuries BC), a crucial period marked by intensified copper production in emerging Alpine...
Assessing monthly habitat quality for bumblebees in grasslands using a habitat trait model: a case study in Worcestershire, UKNARA Subscribed
Bumblebee decline in the UK has been associated with land use change from diverse meadows to intensive agriculture. While grasslands can offer the resources that bumblebees need to survive and thrive, the precise availability of resources through the year and between sites can vary due to differences in species composition and management. In this study, we surveyed bumblebee abundance using transects and monitored their habita...
A case for monitoring fungi of clinical relevance at beaches: enterococci measures do not correlate with all disease risksNARA Subscribed
Fungal disease is on the rise, coupled with fungal pathogens increasing in geographic range. Studies have shown that viable fungal pathogens may be present in beach sand and water, and consequently, efforts are ongoing in Europe to develop guidelines for fungi levels at beaches. In the USA, fungal diseases are a growing concern, and yet, they are not subject to public health reporting, and beach environments are currently not...
Evaluating the capability of tannic acid-modified biochar in sequestering metal ions and in enhancing soil healthNARA Subscribed
Pollution of soils is one of the currently significant environmental concerns. Heavy metals that contaminate the soil can have harmful effects on crops, enter the food chain, and pose a threat to human health. Various approaches have been employed in the past to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils for agricultural use, including the use of biochar and its modified forms through physical or chemical methods. In the present...
In this study, we characterized phytoplankton biomass variability in El Rincón, a shallow and biologically productive coastal region in the Patagonian Continental Shelf. We used as a proxy 7 years (2017–2024) of high-resolution Sentinel-3 OLCI satellite data to capture the fine scale spatio-temporal variability of Chl- a in this region. To obtain Chl- a concentration, we applied a regionally validated algorithm (MuRB&NDCI) whi...
