In an era of increased complexity, interdependence, uncertainty and rapidly advancing technology, the ability to identify and swiftly adapt to current and future trends is key to progressing sustainability. Intersecting drivers and stressors are converging to destabilize socioecological systems and reshape national, regional and global outlooks. The intersecting and converging crises of the 21st century have exposed the limits...
Reproductive timing and clutch parameters of the pearl darter, Percina aurora , in the Pascagoula River drainageNARA Subscribed
Understanding the timing, duration and effort put into reproduction is vital to successful management of any species. The southeastern United States is home to tremendous levels of aquatic biodiversity and was recently named one of the Earth's biodiversity hotspots. For some species, the fundamentals of age, growth, reproductive timing and ecology remain poorly understood. Percina aurora , the pearl darter, has been recently l...
Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer predisposition condition associated with an elevated lifetime risk of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and several other malignancies. This review provides an updated overview of evidence-based prevention strategies for gynaecological cancers in patients with Lynch syndrome. Risk-reducing hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is the most effective intervention for lowering can...
To advance understanding of meiofauna, key components of marine benthic ecosystems, an international team conducted a morphology-based taxonomic survey and workshop around São Miguel, the largest Azorean island, in 2019. The survey yielded critical baseline data on meiofaunal diversity and, despite taxonomic challenges that limited identification of certain taxa, laid a solid foundation for further research. To expand these fi...
Tropical wetlands are an important global source of greenhouse gas emissions, including nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas. Tropical wetland ecosystems can be highly heterogeneous, featuring a variety of vegetation types, from grasses through to palms and mangroves. While soil conditions (particularly soil moisture and pH) are essential for determining the formation of nitrous oxide in soils, plants have a...
Higher parasite burdens are associated with lower body condition in a Norwegian moose populationNARA Subscribed
Parasites are ubiquitous in wildlife and can influence health and fitness. Thus, the inclusion of parasites in wildlife monitoring programs could provide important information for understanding declines in population body condition or recruitment rates. However, parasites are often neglected as a factor in wildlife management. We characterised the gastrointestinal parasite community of moose ( Alces alces ) in central Norway o...
Anthropogenic impacts are increasingly affecting deep‐sea environments, including seafloor sediment disturbances by bottom trawling and seafloor mining. Fieldwork in the ‘Resilience Of Benthic Ecosystems to Sedimentation’ (ROBES) project were conducted in 2018–2020 on the 400 m‐deep Chatham Rise crest, eastern Aotearoa New Zealand. Water column turbidity data, sediment traps on near‐seabed moorings and benthic landers and surf...
Elevated CO 2 Increases the Canopy Temperature of Mature Quercus robur (Pedunculate Oak)NARA Subscribed
The canopy thermal response of natural forests to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) is an understudied biophysical feedback in the global climate system. We investigated the effects of eCO 2 (150 μmol mol −1 above ambient) on canopy temperature ( T can ) dynamics of mature (> 175 years) Quercus robur (oak) at the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research Free Air CO 2 Enrichment (BIFoR‐FACE) facility in Staffordshire, England, during the...
