Increasing soak time improves size selection and harvesting patterns in common whelk (Buccinum undatum) pot fisheriesNARA Subscribed
Common whelk is a neo-gastropod that is intensively fished on the west and east temperate Atlantic with baited pots. The UK hosts the largest Whelk fishery contributing 10–15% to the national Shellfish landings, worth 15–27 million £ a year. The fishery is regulated by a minimum conservation reference size (MCRS) which for most areas is set at 45 mm total shell length. However, scientific information quantifying the size selec...
In humans, testicular peritubular cells (TPCs) form a small compartment surrounding the seminiferous tubules and, as shown previously, undergo age-related changes. How they may contribute to the age-associated decline of testicular functions is not well known. Likewise, the mechanisms of testicular aging in humans are not well examined. This is in part due to the lack of appropriate cellular models. We aimed to establish an ag...
Beyond mobility: A prospective study on diet and metabolism in hereditary spastic paraplegiaNARA Subscribed
Metabolism plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases. Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a heterogeneous group of rare genetic neurodegenerative disorders, commonly characterized by the clinical syndrome of progressive lower limb spasticity and mobility loss. Obesity has been linked to distinct genotypes, but the role of metabolism and nutrition in HSP remains unclear.We aimed to To evaluate metabolism and nu...
Precision Agriculture (PA) adoption by farmers is limited by costs and technological complexity. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is used in large-scale crop research but remains underutilized for PA applications. Crop yield variability is widely studied, yet research advancements increasingly widen the gap to practical use. To address this, a GEE platform was established, harnessing Sentinel-2 and AgERA5 for chickpea mechanistic dai...
Ecosystem Metabolic Rates Estimated from Diel Oxygen Measurements in Two Subtropical EstuariesNARA Subscribed
Subtropical estuaries worldwide are facing increasing pressure from human population growth, development, and climate change. Carbon is a useful currency for understanding how estuaries respond to these pressures and yet relatively little is known about carbon cycling in subtropical estuaries. Here we compute gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem production (NEP) from the diurnal cycle i...
Salix species and varieties affect the molecular composition and diversity of soil organic matterNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Most studies of the relationships between the composition of soil organic matter and plant cover have been carried out at the plant genera level. However, they have largely overlooked the potential effects that plant varieties, belonging to the same genus, can have on soil organic matter. Methods We investigated whether plant varieties belonging to different Salix species ( S. dasyclados and S. viminalis) i...
Recent increases in frequency and intensity of warm water anomalies and marine heatwaves have led to shifts in species ranges and assemblages. Genomic tools can be instrumental in detecting such shifts. In the early stages of a project assessing population genetic structure in Pacific Sardine ( Sardinops sagax ), we detected the presence of Japanese Sardine ( Sardinops melanosticta ) along the west coast of North America for t...
