Animals regularly experience periods of food uncertainty due to seasonal changes and environmental variability. Further, the changing climate is leading to more variable weather patterns, which alter environmental conditions, and can result in resource distributions being less predictable in space and time. How animals respond to uncertain conditions, and in particular a changing distribution of food resources, remains largely...
As a promising strategy for improving soil health and mitigating climate change, biochar has received increasing attention in recent years. However, findings regarding its microbial effects are often context-dependent, and the complex impacts of biochar on soil microbial communities remain inadequately understood. Here, we integrated 843 samples of 16 S rRNA sequencing data from 24 independent studies, utilizing machine learni...
Biology, ecology and conservation of the IUCN endangered sciaenid Argyrosomus japonicus in global estuarine and marine watersNARA Subscribed
Argyrosomus japonicus , a widespread estuarine and coastal sciaenid, is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Threatened Species Red List. In this review, we conduct an updated assessment of the global status of A. japonicus , an important commercial, recreational and artisanal fisheries species. A wide variety of topics are covered, including a synthesis of our knowledge on A. japon...
John Raven, FRS, FRSE: a truly great innovator in plant physiology, photosynthesis and much moreNARA Subscribed
This is a tribute to a truly inspirational plant biologist, Prof. John A. Raven, FRS, FRSE (25th June 1941– 23rd May 2024), who died at the age of 82. He was a leader in the field of evolution and physiology of algae and land plants. His research touched on many areas including photosynthesis, ion transport, carbon utilisation, mineral use, such as silicon, iron and molybdenum, the evolution of phytoplankton, the evolution of...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
Predation on Live and Artificial Insect Prey Shows Different Global Latitudinal PatternsNARA Subscribed
Aim Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have often relied on prey models, which lack many characteristics of live prey. Our goals were to explore global latitudinal patterns of predator attack rates on standardised live insect prey and to compare the patterns in predation on live insects...
Complementary value of molecular, phenotypic, and functional aging biomarkers in dementia predictionNARA Subscribed
DNA methylation age (MA), brain age (BA), and frailty index (FI) are putative aging biomarkers linked to dementia risk. We investigated their relationship and combined potential for prediction of cognitive impairment and future dementia risk using the ADNI database. Of several MA algorithms, DunedinPACE and GrimAge2, associated with memory, were combined in a composite MA alongside BA and a data-driven FI in predictive analyse...
Wind dispersed tree species have greater maximum heightNARA Subscribed
Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...
