The nitrogen (N) isotopic composition of coral tissue provides insight into N sources and cycling on reefs, and coral skeleton-bound organic matter (CS-δ 15 N) can extend these insights into the past. Across the Bermuda platform, we measured the δ 15 N of four coral species and their potential N sources, as well as an asymbiotic filter feeder as a comparative heterotroph and benthic macroalgae as a comparative autotroph. Organ...
Characterising groundwater recharge is fundamental for sustainable groundwater management. This study focuses on assessing recharge in drylands using four experimental plots under different land-use practices in crystalline basement aquifers in three southern African countries (Chitedze in Malawi, Kabeleka and Liempe in Zambia, and Domboshawa in Zimbabwe). Several methods, including water-table fluctuation (WTF), chloride mass...
Introducing Elinor for monitoring the governance and management of area‐based conservationNARA Subscribed
Monitoring the governance and management effectiveness of area‐based conservation has long been recognized as an important foundation for achieving national and global biodiversity goals and enabling adaptive management. However, there are still many barriers that prevent conservation actors, including those affected by governance and management systems from implementing conservation activities and programs and from gathering...
Understanding the relative effectiveness and enabling conditions of different area‐based management tools is essential for supporting efforts that achieve positive biodiversity outcomes as area‐based conservation coverage increases to meet newly set international targets. We used data from a coastal social–ecological monitoring program in 6 Indo‐Pacific countries to analyze whether social, ecological, and economic objectives a...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Despite increasing recognition of the need for more diverse and equitable representation in the sciences, it is unclear whether measurable progress has been made. Here, we examine trends in authorship in coral reef science from 1,677 articles published over the past 16 years (2003–2018) and find that while representation of authors that are women (from 18 to 33%) and from non-OECD nations (from 4 to 13%) have increased over ti...
By shuffling biogeographical distributions, biological invasions can both disrupt long‐standing associations between hosts and parasites and establish new ones. This creates natural experiments with which to study the ecology and evolution of host–parasite interactions. In estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico, the white‐fingered mud crab ( Rhithropanopeus harrisii ) is infected by a native parasitic barnacle, Loxothylacus panopaei...
Creating a space for place and multidimensional well-being: lessons learned from localizing the SDGsNARA Subscribed
Achieving sustainable development globally requires multilevel and interdisciplinary efforts and perspectives. Global goals shape priorities and actions at multiple scales, creating cascading impacts realized at the local level through the direction of financial resources and implementation of programs intended to achieve progress towards these metrics. We explore ways to localize global goals to best support human well-being...
