That's So Last Season: Unraveling the Genomic Consequences of Fur Farming in Arctic Foxes ( Vulpes lagopus )NARA Subscribed
Humans have relied on animal fur for centuries, yet fur farming only began recently during the mid‐19th Century. Little is known about this incipient domestication or the genomic processes involved. Domestication may involve founder effects, population bottlenecks and low population size, which, when combined with intense artificial selection, lead to inbreeding, a limited gene pool and reduced fitness. The arctic fox ( Vulpes...
Integrated monitoring of dams and large ponds: the role of satellite radar interferometry and the European ground motion serviceNARA Subscribed
Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) has become an invaluable tool for monitoring dams and large ponds, providing significant advantages when complemented with geotechnical and geodetic monitoring. InSAR uses radar signals from satellites to detect ground movements with millimeter precision by comparing phase differences between images taken at different times. This technique enables large-scale, continuous monitoring, which...
Teaching and learning about race, culture, and environment in a predominately white institutionNARA Subscribed
The environment and natural resource fields have traditionally centered western science, the scholarship of white men, and land conservation strategies that neglect historical inhabitants. These tenets have led to a narrow view of how conservation is defined and created challenges for BIPOC students and professionals to see themselves as full and equal participants in the environmental sciences. The Rubenstein School of Enviro...
El Chichón volcanic activity before and after the Mw8.2, 2017, Chiapas earthquake, México. Is El Chichón ready to erupt?NARA Subscribed
El Chichón volcano is the most active volcano in the state of Chiapas, México, and experienced its last Plinian eruption (VEI = 5) in 1982. To better assess its volcanic hazard, we studied its readiness to erupt by estimating changes in its internal stress state. These stress changes are difficult to calculate accurately, for example in the absence of focal mechanisms, but their existence can be indirectly revealed by the pres...
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...
Direct ageing of Thunnus thynnus from the eastern Atlantic Ocean and western Mediterranean Sea using dorsal fin spinesNARA Subscribed
This study deals with important methodology issues that affect age estimates of eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus using dorsal fin spines. Nearly 3800 spine sections were used from fish caught in the north‐east Atlantic Ocean and western Mediterranean Sea over a 21 year period. Edge type and marginal increment analyses indicated a yearly periodicity of annulus formation with the translucent bands (50% of occurrence...
Summary Dissolved organic matter ( DOM ) and heterotrophic bacteria are highly diverse components of the ocean system, and their interactions are key in regulating the biogeochemical cycles of major elements. How chemical and phylogenetic diversity are linked remains largely unexplored to date. To investigate interactions between bacterial diversity and DOM , we followed the response of natural bacterial communities to two sou...

Population structure in a critically endangered arctic fox population: does genetics matter?NARA Subscribed
The arctic fox ( Alopex lagopus ) in Scandinavia is classified as critically endangered after having gone through a severe decline in population size in the beginning of the 20th century, from which it has failed to recover despite more than 65 years of protection. Arctic foxes have a high dispersal rate and often disperse over long distances, suggesting that there was probably little population differentiation within Scandina...
