Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
Disentangling the contributions of local adaptation and neutral geographic differentiation in shaping spatial genomic variation is central to understanding how populations evolve across heterogeneous environments. In the Gulf of California (GoC), the interaction between pronounced environmental gradients and complex oceanographic circulation creates a challenging scenario for determining whether adaptive divergence or neutral...
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...
Micro‐Refuges or Ecological Traps: Context‐Dependent Effects of Rock Pools on Intertidal Biodiversity Across LatitudesNARA Subscribed
Aim We investigated how local‐scale environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity patterns across broad biogeographic gradients, using intertidal microhabitats as a model system within one of the most environmentally stressful ecosystems on Earth. Location Intertidal habitats at 26 locations (two rocky shore sites per location) across six continents, spanning 98° of latitude (38°S to 60°N). Time Period 2019–2022. Major T...
The Critical Role of Coefficients: Updating Allometric Normalisation Constants for Modern Ecology and ModellingNARA Subscribed
Allometry, the scaling of traits or biological rates with body mass, is central to a wide range of ecological research including dynamic food web modelling. There has been extensive focus on exponents (3/4 scaling laws), but little on the coefficients (normalisation constants). Coefficients that have been used since 2006 are derived from limited data and dated methodologies. Here, we compiled a data set of over 1000 genera wit...
Seagrasses are crucial to marine biodiversity in the Southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO) where they are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change. In Tanzania, some areas have lost up to 10 % of seagrass cover. The success of seagrass restoration efforts has been limited, partially because of inaccurate taxonomic identification and the selection of unsuitable species for specific habitats, which reduces resto...
Asymmetric nanocapsules via elongated liposome templated polymerization (ELTP) mediated by RAFT polymerizationNARA Subscribed
Polymeric nanocapsules comprised of hydrophobic shells and hollow aqueous interiors are an extremely useful class of nanomaterial, particularly in the encapsulation and controlled delivery of hydrophilic cargo. Generally prepared via droplet or latex templation approaches, polymeric nanocapsules are mostly spherical. Controlling the morphology of hollow nanocapsules is an intriguing design challenge. Non-spherical, or elongate...
Multivariate signals of population collapse in a high‐throughput ecological experimentNARA Subscribed
Anticipating population declines is a crucial goal of conservation ecology. Recent conceptual work suggests that populations facing growing stressors should exhibit sequential shifts in behavior, morphology, and abundance before declining to extinction. However, the lack of high‐resolution, multidimensional data has hindered empirical validation of this conceptual work. Using an autonomously monitored, high‐throughput experime...
Whole Transcriptome RNA-Seq Reveals Drivers of Pathological Dysfunction in a Transgenic Model of Alzheimer’s DiseaseNARA Subscribed
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects more than 55 million people worldwide, yet current theories cannot fully explain its aetiology. Accordingly, gene expression profiling has been used to provide a holistic view of the biology underpinning AD. Focusing primarily on protein-coding genes, such approaches have highlighted a critical involvement of microglia-related inflammatory processes. Simultaneous investigation of transcriptiona...
