The aetiology of frailty remains unknown. It has been hypothesised that individual differences in epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation (DNAm), may help to explain why some individuals become frail while others do not. Relating epigenetic measures to transitions in age-related frailty in individual patients requires longitudinal studies over many years. To overcome this barrier, we study associations between DNAm...
Biocontrol practitioners’ perspectives on emerging genetic-based technologies for weed managementNARA Subscribed
Weed biocontrol researchers have been at the forefront of developing management solutions for invasive weeds for over 100 years and have a unique perspective to offer on the emerging field of genetic-based technologies such as gene drive and RNAi. As part of the XVI International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds in May 2023 we conducted a focus group discussion workshop to explore biocontrol practitioners’ perspectives...
From start to stop: Simple methods for mapping susceptibility to landslide runout and debris-flow inundationNARA Subscribed
Landslide runout and debris-flow inundation can disrupt areas well beyond their initial sources, causing widespread damage and extensive fatalities. Understanding where they start and how far they might travel is essential in many locations worldwide. However, most landslide susceptibility maps focus on initiation areas and fail to incorporate runout areas. Furthermore, hazards vary greatly with the degree of landslide mobilit...
Non‐lethal biopsy is a valuable tool for gaining insight into the physiological status of fish in the wild and for predicting their subsequent behaviour and survival. However, linking the insights from biopsy to post‐release behaviour relies on the assumption that the biopsy itself has no meaningful impact on post‐release behaviour or survival (e.g. in animals tagged with electronic devices). This assumption is likely to be qu...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
In 2023, more than half of olive harvests ( Olea europaea ) across Spain, Greece, and Türkiye were lost to drought. The same year late freeze destroyed 90% of the peach crop ( Prunus persica ) on the Georgia Piedmont and the apple crop ( Malus domestica ) in central New York, Vermont, and southern Quebec. Climate extremes now rank with the costliest threats to agriculture, but their role in forest recovery from diebacks that a...
Museomics Sheds Light on Evolutionary Diversity in a Critically Endangered Cockatoo Species From WallaceaNARA Subscribed
Accurate identification of evolutionarily significant units of rare and threatened organisms provides a foundation for effective management and conservation. Up to seven subspecies of the critically endangered Yellow‐crested Cockatoo ( Cacatua sulphurea ) have been described, four of which were commonly recognised pre‐2014. In the absence of genotypic data, C. sulphurea subspecies delimitation has been based on morphology, beh...
Cost-Effectiveness of Carotid Endarterectomy vs. Carotid Stenting: a Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisNARA Subscribed
Introduction Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are gold-standard treatments of carotid artery stenosis. This study aims to identify the cost-effectiveness of CEA vs CAS. Methods Studies were screened through PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase using PRISMA guidelines, and required ≥ 20 participants who were ≥ 16 years, alongside costs at 1-year postoperatively. The Shapiro–Wilk test, independent sample t-t...
Tail-less precursors in synthetic cannabinoid production: investigating a clandestine laboratory, seized samples, and CB1 activityNARA Subscribed
An emerging new trend reveals that potent synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) that were prevalent prior to the Chinese class-wide ban in July 2021 have remained on the market or re-emerged. This is likely because of a new production route where unscheduled tail-less precursors are converted into the desired controlled SCRA via a one-step synthesis. This study reports the discovery of a clandestine production site i...
Wildfire‐Induced Losses of Soil Particulate and Mineral‐Associated Organic Carbon Persist for Over 4 Years in a Chaparral EcosystemNARA Subscribed
Wildfires can lower soil carbon (C) stocks directly through combustion, but also indirectly during post‐fire recovery if microbial C demands outpace photosynthetic C inputs. However, how much C is respired by soil microorganisms post‐fire may depend on wildfire effects on particulate organic carbon (POC; mostly plant material accessible to microbes) and/or mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC; considered C protected by mine...
