The Effects of the Fire–Grazing Sequence in Mediterranean Soil Ecosystems: A Scoping ReviewNARA Subscribed
Mediterranean ecosystems are increasingly affected by the rising frequency and intensity of wildfires, requiring proactive management strategies such as grazing or prescribed burns to control post-fire biomass. Despite an extensive body of literature addressing the individual effects of these two disturbances, their combined and sequential effects on soil properties remain poorly understood and heterogeneous. This highlights t...
The Best-Fit Assessment for Numerical Models (BAM) is a Python-based, open-source, modular, and versatile statistical tool designed to primarily evaluate the performance of numerical models in volcanology. BAM was developed to assess models that simulate the transport and deposition of volcanic mass flows, namely pyroclastic density currents, lava flows, lahars, and debris avalanches. BAM makes use of matrix arrays in the form...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Bacteriome diversity in leaf and root of the resurrection species Selaginella convoluta and S. sellowii in the Brazilian CerradoNARA Subscribed
Plants have developed adaptive strategies to combat dehydration, including forming associations with microbes, which help plants cope with drought by altering hormone levels, enhancing antioxidants, or improving water uptake. Selaginella species, the resurrection plants, can endure desiccation and revive with rehydration. Here, we investigated the bacteriome of leaves and roots of S. convoluta and S. sellowii inhabiting rocky...
Lewy body disease (LBD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are the most common causes of cognitive decline and dementia and are associated with characteristic alterations in resting-state electroencephalographic (rsEEG) activity. This multicenter exploratory study investigated periodic and aperiodic rsEEG features in patients with cognitive decline due to Lewy body disease (LBCD) and Alzheimer’s disease (ADCD), compared with cogniti...
Cell fate determination and terminal differentiation are shaped by intrinsic molecular programs that coordinate lineage-specific gene expression. In mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), variability in osteogenic efficiency among distinct tissue sources remains poorly understood and cannot be fully explained by differentiation conditions alone. Increasing evidence indicates that post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, particularl...
Importance of phenomena expected to modify population trends of a threatened saltmarsh breeding bird communityNARA Subscribed
Salt marshes in the northeastern United States support several specialized breeding bird species that are threatened by sea level rise (SLR) and coastal development, processes that drive habitat change and fragmentation. There have been rapid, widespread declines in some species, but mechanisms driving population change and whether declines continue remain unclear. We examined the influence of phenomena expected to modify salt...
Genetic diversity in the American elephantfish (Chimaeriformes: Callorhinchus callorynchus ) and among its congenersNARA Subscribed
Understanding genetic population structure and connectivity is essential for effective species‐specific management and conservation strategies. The American elephantfish Callorhinchus callorynchus is targeted and retained as incidental catch in commercial and recreational fisheries in Chile and Argentina. Its wide‐ranging distribution across southern South America may require transnational co‐operation to ensure sustainable us...
