Features of possible regional ionospheric memory manifested themselves at low-latitudes under solar eclipse conditions.
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Cryptic coral reef microhabitats and the functional role of brittle stars in biogenic sediment generationNARA Subscribed
Recent studies have highlighted the ecological importance of cryptic habitat space on coral reefs. These microhabitats, ranging from framework cavities to intra-branch space within marine macroalgae, can harbour diverse and ecologically relevant taxa. Here we show that brittle stars, ubiquitous across such cryptic habitats (reported densities exceeding 100 ind. m −2 ), represent an important, but previously neglected, source o...
Marek’s disease (MD) is caused by the highly contagious Marek’s disease virus (MDV), a tumorigenic alphaherpesvirus. The disease is presently managed through vaccination. Nevertheless, the dynamic nature of MDV presents challenges, as new virulent strains may arise that can potentially overcome existing vaccine-mediated immunity. To address this, new and more effective vaccines are crucial. The immune system’s first line of de...
Integrated assessment of toxic elements in PM10 during cold season in a coastal city of southern PeruNARA Subscribed
This study evaluated concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 µm (PM10) and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in three urban zones of Ilo, a coastal city in southern Peru, during the cold season (July–October 2022). The cold season is characterised by greater atmospheric stability and a lower mixing layer height, which favours pollutant accumulation and scenarios of higher potential exposure. Three c...
Quiet Signals of Burmeister's Porpoises ( Phocoena spinipinnis ) Recorded in Chile and PeruNARA Subscribed
Burmeister's porpoises are cryptic and challenging to detect visually. More information on their acoustic signals could facilitate the use of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and help to better understand their ecology. Here, clicks were recorded from two different Burmeister's porpoise populations, one in Chile and the other in Peru, using a 4‐channel hydrophone array and a single‐channel hydrophone recorder. Burmeister's po...
Enhancing Community Pharmacists’ Professional Competencies and Sun-Safe Behaviors Through the FarmaSoludable Educational ProgramNARA Subscribed
This study examined the impact of a structured educational intervention on professional competencies in individualized photoprotection counselling and on personal sun-safe behaviors. A quasi-experimental pre–post study was conducted among community pharmacists in Seville, Spain, in 2024. The intervention consisted of a blended educational program comprising an online training course delivered by a multidisciplinary faculty and...
The germline MLH1 c.-42 C > T (rs41285097) promoter variant has been identified in cases with MLH1-deficient colorectal or endometrial cancers but remains a variant of uncertain significance. Genetic testing identified two new MLH1 c.-42 C > T index cases from Australia and the USA. Clinicopathologic and molecular characterisation of tumour and non-neoplastic tissues was performed to investigate the potential mechanism of path...
