Hereditary gynecological cancer management in women with Lynch syndrome: a survey across EuropeNARA Subscribed
We aim to compare clinical practices in the gynecological management of women with Lynch syndrome across Europe and assess the need for multidisciplinary gynecological care for this high-risk population. European gynecologists involved in the clinical care of women with Lynch syndrome were invited to complete a cross-sectional survey regarding their clinical practices and organization of care. All participating gynecologists w...
Hybridization between widespread species and narrow endemics poses a serious conservation threat, often leading to extinction via genetic swamping. In this study, we applied an integrated approach—combining genetics, morphometrics, and functional ecology—to investigate the implications of hybridization between the widespread species Limonium cossonianum and the Critically Endangered L. estevei . We combined molecular markers (...
Latitudinal and Habitat‐Driven Diversity of Coastal Fishes in the Southernmost Southwest Atlantic OceanNARA Subscribed
Aim To evaluate alpha and beta diversity of coastal marine fishes across different spatial scales—habitat, regional, and biogeographical—along a 14° latitudinal gradient (41° S–55° S). Location Southern Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWA). Taxon Coastal marine fishes. Methods We sampled four benthic habitats—rocky reefs, soft bottoms, transition habitats, and kelp forests—across seven shallow coastal sites (≤ 30 m depth) spanning d...
Salinity tolerance of fishes: Experimental approaches and implications for aquaculture productionNARA Subscribed
The life history, distribution and diversity of fishes are largely influenced by environmental salinity. Changes in salinity affect a range of physiological processes including metabolism, nutrition, reproduction and growth. Therefore, fish can be conditioned to environmental parameters most suitable for production, where distinct traits are optimised through species‐specific manipulation of salinities. The primary purpose of...
Baited remote underwater video stations as a potential tool for assessing coastal rocky fishes in ChileNARA Subscribed
Coastal rocky fish species support important fishing activities, but basic information is lacking for many before catches decline. Monitoring and management of coastal rocky fish species is urgently needed in Chile, but knowledge of these species is fragmentary at best. Performance of Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) for assessing rocky fish assemblages was evaluated in south‐central Chile. Seven medium‐ to larg...
Land‐use intensification reduces functional redundancy and response diversity in plant communitiesNARA Subscribed
Ecosystem resilience depends on functional redundancy (the number of species contributing similarly to an ecosystem function) and response diversity (how functionally similar species respond differently to disturbance). Here, we explore how land‐use change impacts these attributes in plant communities, using data from 18 land‐use intensity gradients that represent five biomes and > 2800 species. We identify functional groups u...
