The processing of neuroimaging data typically involves a complicated set of operations, which often require different software packages and have intensive computational and storage demands. Although there are many options available for the neuroimaging researcher to establish their preferred set of processing operations, there is relatively little guidance on how to orchestrate such operations within a coherent data processing...
Since the early 2000's, Modern Coexistence Theory (MCT) has guided empirical investigations of coexistence. We reviewed empirical applications of MCT to answer two questions: (1) What have we learned about the strength of temporal, spatial and variation‐independent mechanisms of coexistence in nature? (2) How have studies of niche and fitness differences advanced our understanding of coexistence? With respect to the first ques...
This study examines the residential mobility patterns and funerary practices of an Urnfield cemetery at Přáslavice, Czech Republic, using radiocarbon dating, carbon, oxygen, and strontium isotope analyses, and FTIR analysis. A regional bioavailable strontium baseline map was created using strontium isotope ratios ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) of modern plant samples (n=208) from 70 localities across Moravia and Czech Silesia. Radiocarbon da...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Key message Soybean rust-associated haplotypes around significant SNPs show variable effects across diverse accessions, while distinct soybean mosaic virus-resistant haplotypes were identified at the Rsv1 locus on chromosome 13. Abstract Soybean rust (SBR), caused by the fungal pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, significantly affects soybean yield and quality globally. Here, we present an association and haplotype analysis of 2,8...
An evaluation of near-surface sediments enhancing ground motions excited by shallow local earthquakes near Union City, OklahomaNARA Subscribed
Hydraulic fracturing activities and the subsequent wastewater injection into the subsurface have increased the number of felt seismicity in Oklahoma. Some of the smaller magnitude (M < 3.5) earthquakes have been associated with reported damage to the built environment. We evaluate the subsurface structure of the near-surface sediments in Union City, Oklahoma to identify and delineate subsurface structures that amplify ground m...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Annual killifishes of the genus Nothobranchius live in seasonal water bodies in Eastern Africa. Adults die at the end of the rainy season when seasonal pools desiccate but diapaused embryos persist in the sediments and hatch in subsequent rainy seasons. Embryos use environmental cues to determine optimal hatching conditions to begin a new generation. We simulated a predation event by crushing Nothobranchius embryos and tested...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Mapping the landscape of mycological organizations in europe: where citizen science meets professional mycologyNARA Subscribed
Fungi have been used by humans since prehistoric times. Informal structures or groups for knowledge exchange regarding mushrooms and lichens probably existed for ages. Only recently, mycological activities have been structured in formal organizations. And where until a few centuries ago there were only learned societies and naturalists’ clubs, nowadays also mycological societies and citizen scientists have joined the landscape...
The key mechanisms associated with the survival of Gulf toadfish, Opsanus beta , when in severe hypoxiaNARA Subscribed
Florida's shallow seagrass beds experience daily diurnal fluctuations in environmental oxygen, leading to hypoxic episodes (PO 2 −1 , ~6 kPa) that have increased in frequency and intensity in recent decades. The native Gulf toadfish ( Opsanus beta ) have been shown to employ a suite of adaptive cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic adjustments to survive moderate hypoxia, but little is known of the mechanisms used to survi...
