Tracking biodiversity in changing Arctic waters: insights from eDNA metabarcoding in SvalbardNARA Subscribed
Monitoring biodiversity patterns and their changes in Arctic coastal ecosystems is critical under ongoing climate change. However, common current approaches require high effort and expertise and this in turn limits the spatial and temporal scale of these monitoring efforts. Here, we investigated both the fish and the marine invertebrate communities across Svalbard using a multi-marker environmental DNA metabarcoding approach....
There are high expectations that agricultural practices can mitigate climate change and improve soil health by increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. However, existing large scale SOC monitoring treats agricultural management as a black box, meaning that observed patterns and trends cannot inform on the option space of agricultural practices to improve or deteriorate SOC stocks. Here, we combine for the first time manage...
Herbivory can alter plant stoichiometry generating biogeochemical feedbacks that stabilize or drive transitions between ecosystem states. We report results after 23 years from a grazing experiment in Norway comparing five paired exclosures and grazed plots that were complemented with inclusion of five islands serving as a natural control. We tested the hypothesis that herbivory-driven shifts in plant dominance scale to alter e...
Objective (s) Circulating angiogenic factors are used for prediction of placenta-related complications, but their associations with first-trimester placental development is unknown. This study investigates associations between maternal angiogenic factors and utero-placental vascular volume (uPVV) and utero-placental vascular skeleton (uPVS) as novel imaging markers of volumetric and morphologic (branching) development of the f...
Ectoparasite presence and brood size manipulation interact to accelerate telomere shortening in nestling jackdawsNARA Subscribed
Early‐life conditions impact fitness, but whether the combined effect of extrinsic stressors is additive or synergistic is not well known. This is a major knowledge gap because exposure to multiple stressors is frequent. Telomere dynamics may be instrumental when testing how stressors interact because many factors affect telomere shortening, and telomere shortening predicts survival. We evaluated the effect of manipulated broo...
