Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019NARA Subscribed
Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and whales occurred year‐round. The total number of (on‐ and off‐effort) sightings and s...
Linking feldspar luminescence phenomena and mineralogy using spatially resolved techniquesNARA Subscribed
Feldspars, the most abundant mineral group in the Earth’s crust, exhibit a striking chemical and structural variety resulting from variations in their crystallisation environments and post-crystallisation processes. Since feldspars record both formation and alteration processes and conditions, they are key components in geological studies and valuable for developing tools to reconstruct past environmental change. Thermally and...
Beyond the Enzyme‐Latch: A Narrative and Systematic Review of Enzymic Controls on Carbon Cycling in PeatlandsNARA Subscribed
Peatlands are globally important carbon stores, because carbon cycling of plant matter in peat soils is impaired leading to accumulation. The mechanisms that underlie this impairment are not clear, nor why damaging peatlands leads to carbon release. Twenty‐five years ago, the Enzyme‐latch hypothesis proposed a mechanism of enzymatic controls on carbon cycling in peatlands. Here a review of the evidence for this hypothesis is p...
The expansion and intensification of aquaculture have been widely adopted to support large-scale production, creating a reliance on high-protein feed ingredients such as soybean meal (SBM) and fish meal (FM). These ingredients, however, are costly and unsustainable, emphasizing the need for alternative plant-based protein sources for aquafeeds. This study assessed the nutritional and feed value of fermented rice bran meal (FRB...
The association of thigh myosteatosis with lower cognitive function in older cancer survivorsNARA Subscribed
Introduction Cancer is associated with accelerated aging, including changes in muscle composition and cognition. However, the relationship between myosteatosis and cognitive function has not been investigated in older cancer survivors. This study evaluated the association between myosteatosis and cognitive function in this population. Methods The sample included 75 cancer survivors (age 76–85; 65% men; 31% Black; 41% prostate...
Windthrow disturbance impacts soil biogeochemistry and bacterial communities in a temperate forestNARA Subscribed
Aims Forests across the world are subject to disturbance via wind, wildfire, and pest and disease outbreaks. Yet we still have an incomplete understanding of how these stressors impact forest biota—particularly the soil microbes, which govern forest carbon and nutrient cycling. Methods Here, we investigated the impact of a severe windstorm on soil bacterial communities in Kielder Forest, a temperate coniferous forest in the no...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
