Diversification and Colonisation in the Indo‐Australian Archipelago: Genomic Insights From Colubrid SnakesNARA Subscribed
Aim The Indo‐Australian Archipelago (IAA) is one of the most geologically complex and species‐rich regions on Earth. However, our knowledge of the geological processes and dispersal mechanisms that generate archipelago‐wide distributions across the IAA is limited to a few vertebrate groups and often solely attributed to Plio‐Pleistocene sea‐level fluctuations. In this study, we use phylogenomics‐based analyses to investigate t...
Assessing flood hazards and evacuation safety in metro stations: insights from Paral·lel station (Barcelona)NARA Subscribed
The increasing frequency of extreme rainfall events due to climate change has heightened flood risks in underground transport systems. Metro stations, particularly concourses and staircases, are highly vulnerable, posing severe threats to passenger safety. This study assesses flood hazards in the Nou de la Rambla concourse of Paral·lel metro station (Barcelona) using a high-resolution two-dimensional hydraulic model developed...
Diet, trophic niche, and mercury were examined for Cyphotilapia frontosa and C. gibberosa along the east coast of Lake Tanganyika, from northern Burundi to the southern region near the Zambian border. Mercury levels were generally low across populations, indicating that Lake Tanganyika is a low-mercury environment. However, fish from Burundi had significantly higher mercury concentrations (0.1 mg−kg) compared to all other site...
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...
Disease-driven collapse of the native Kauaʻi avifauna and the rise of introduced bird speciesNARA Subscribed
Hawaii hosts one of Earth’s most unique and threatened avifaunas. Upslope migration of mosquito-vectored avian malaria on Kauaʻi (maximum elevation 1,598 m) has likely caused its rapid loss of avifaunal diversity; only 8 of 13 historic forest bird species remain. We update the status and trends of Kauaʻi forest bird populations since the original (1981) surveys using the latest (2023) survey data and distance sampling. We fit...
Benzoxa-[2,1,3]-diazole substituted amino acid hydrazides as therapeutics for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosisNARA Subscribed
The global burden of tuberculosis is on the rise and continues to be alarmingly high, with a notable prevalence of multidrug-resistant disease. Despite a promising drug development pipeline, the levels of resistance to these therapeutics remain significant, underscoring the need for new, innovative drugs to tackle this clinical issue. Benzoxadiazoles and their derivatives have become a valuable foundation for the development o...
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...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Flood-related hazard criteria during the human evacuation of underground spaces through stairs: a state-of-the-art reviewNARA Subscribed
Due to the increasing urbanisation trend and more recurrent flood events worldwide that are affecting exposed habitable areas like underground spaces. This state-of-the-art review presents a comprehensive analysis of the available literature that focuses on defining instability criteria for hazard assessment during human evacuation of underground flooded stairs. The studies are outlined in three main groups: theoretical, exper...
Understanding the foraging preference of cetaceans is crucial for assessing their role as apex predators and indicators of marine ecosystem health. Using stable isotope analysis, we investigated trophic niche differentiation and foraging plasticity in 141 long-finned pilot whales ( Globicephala melas edwardii ) that stranded along the Tasmanian coast at three locations (Marion Bay, King Island, and Maria Island). Stranding loc...
