Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are essential for conservation planning. Using the loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta )...
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...
Combined resistance mechanisms leading to high-level of cefiderocol resistance among NDM-like producing E. coli ST167 clinical isolatesNARA Subscribed
Summary Purpose A series of NDM-producing Escherichia coli ST167 clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to cefiderocol (FDC), with no previous exposure to this antibiotic, were analyzed in this study. Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of resistance patterns (Rapid Cefiderocol NP test and MIC determination) were performed for all tested isolates. Their entire genomes were sequenced by us...
Ocean surface radiation measurement best practices have been developed as a first step to support the interoperability of radiation measurements across multiple ocean platforms and between land and ocean networks. This document describes the consensus by a working group of radiation measurement experts from land, ocean, and aircraft communities. The scope was limited to broadband shortwave (solar) and longwave (terrestrial inf...
Molecular analysis of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Switzerland 2022–2023NARA Subscribed
Objectives The occurrence of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MBL-PA) isolates is increasing globally, including in Switzerland. The aim of this study was to characterise, phenotypically and genotypically, the MBL-PA isolates submitted to the Swiss National Reference Center for Emerging Antibiotic Resistance (NARA) reference laboratory over a 12-month period from July 2022 to July 2023. Methods Thirty-n...
Intruding into a conversation: how behavioral manipulation could support management of Xylella fastidiosa and its insect vectorsNARA Subscribed
Behavioral manipulation (BM) is a multimodal control approach based on the interference with the stimuli mediating insect perception and interaction with the surroundings. BM could represent a win–win strategy for the management of vector-borne plant pathogens as the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa , since it could reduce the number of vectors alighting on host plants and, consequently, the chances for transmission to occur. In t...
Climate change and groundwater resources availability in the Great Limpopo National Park (Mozambique): the current state of knowledgeNARA Subscribed
This work outlines a comprehensive study of groundwater resources supply in Mozambique’s Great Limpopo National Park buffer zone in Southern Africa. To protect biological diversity and the water resources supply of dispersed communities of the buffer zone is a crucial problem to fix people in the region and, in the meantime, to boost the development of the Limpopo National Park. This work shows the current state of knowledge a...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Effect of fish length and nutritional condition on the fecundity of distressed Atlantic cod Gadus morhua from the Baltic SeaNARA Subscribed
The disappearance of larger individuals and the decrease in individual body condition suffered by Atlantic cod Gadus morhua in the eastern Baltic during the past two decades can be expected to affect the stock reproductive output. To investigate this, female G. morhua were collected during the spawning and pre‐spawning period in 2015−2016. The current individual potential fecundity ( F P ) of eastern Baltic G. morhua was estim...
Discarding in fisheries is believed to be a waste of natural resources, as it is the part of the total catch brought on board but then returned to the sea dead or alive for any reason. This study aims to advance knowledge of the discards associated with the deep water rose shrimp fisheries in the south-central Mediterranean Sea. We address this issue by examining the data collected within the module of commercial catch monitor...
