Seasonal Reef-Scale Variability in Seawater CO₂ Chemistry in the Presence and Absence of Seaweed Cultivation in Onna, Okinawa, JapanNARA Subscribed
Seaweed cultivation has been proposed as an active biogeochemical intervention to elevate seawater pH and create localized refugia from ocean acidification. To date, most studies have relied on autonomous sensors to contrast seawater pH inside and outside of seaweed cultivation plots. These studies provide important temporal observations but lack information about the spatial capacity for seaweed cultivation to provide pH refu...
Decommissioning of offshore oil and gas infrastructure, including thousands of platform jackets and associated structures approaching the end of their operational lives, is a major contemporary challenge. Yet, decision-making remains constrained by fragmented, highly heterogeneous, and episodic monitoring that rarely quantifies ecosystem function or connectivity. There is a long-standing debate over removal versus habitat rete...
Resident and Migratory Falcons' Breeding Phenology and Productivity Respond Differently to Weather and Climate Change Across the ArcticNARA Subscribed
Climate change is disproportionately warming the Arctic, leading to changes in weather patterns that affect breeding phenology for many Arctic species. Despite extensive research on non‐predatory birds, few studies have examined the impacts of climate change on higher trophic levels, especially those comparing breeding phenology and productivity between migratory and resident species. Our study used long‐term monitoring data f...
Thermal tolerance and acclimation limits in bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) alevinNARA Subscribed
The critical thermal maximum ( CT max ) of bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) alevin was measured after 3 weeks of acclimation to 4–21°C. CT max increased from 24.3 at 4°C to 26.7 at 9°C, plateaued between 9 and 12°C (26.9°C), and declined to 25.9°C at 15°C. Acclimation mortality increased above 12°C, reaching 53.7% at 15°C, and no fish survived at 18–21°C. Condition factor declined at ≥12°C. Results indicate bull trout ale...
Topographic Barriers and Lowland Corridors Structure Gene Flow in the Chagas Vector Rhodnius pallescens Across the Isthmian ForestsNARA Subscribed
Aim Biogeographic processes can profoundly shape the connectivity and evolutionary potential of arthropod disease vectors. We investigated how Panama's ecological and topographic transitions structure populations of the kissing bug Rhodnius pallescens , the primary vector of the Chagas disease agent Trypanosoma cruzi in the region. Location Central America. Period Present. Methods Using 3RAD sequencing, we analysed genome‐wide...
Marine heatwaves shape size‐dependent thermal exposure, habitat use and marine residency in Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus )NARA Subscribed
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in high‐latitude oceans, yet behavioural responses of anadromous fishes to these potential stressors during short marine feeding seasons remain poorly understood. We combined acoustic telemetry (internal temperature and depth) with satellite‐derived sea surface temperature data to quantify Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ) responses to MHWs in the coastal Labrador Sea across two contrast...
The urinary bladder is innervated by two anatomically distinct populations of sensory neurons originating from dorsal root ganglia (DRG): one from the thoracolumbar (TL) and another from the lumbosacral (LS) spinal region. While we previously characterized the morphology and distribution of sensory endings arising from LS DRG, the terminals of TL afferents remain undefined. In this study, we employed anterograde neuronal traci...
Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic noveltyNARA Subscribed
Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning, is essential for designing effective forward‐looking management strategies. We explor...
Variability in Fecundity–Body Size Relationships for Atlantic Salmon Associated With Body Condition and Life HistoryNARA Subscribed
While body size is the primary driver of fecundity, other factors may contribute to variation in these relationships. Anadromous populations of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) have diverse life histories, and fisheries management relies on accurate fecundity estimates. We used Bayesian hierarchical models to determine the relationship between fecundity and fork length, and other life‐history characteristics, for 25 spawning po...
Plant Functional Traits and Vegetation Structure Explain Pollination Networks at ScaleNARA Subscribed
Quantifying biotic interactions at scale is critical to understanding ecosystem functions, such as plant‐pollinator interactions. Here, we demonstrate how woody plant functional traits and vegetation structure gathered with remote sensing can aid in predicting plant‐pollinator network indices from fine to broad spatial extents. We analysed 209 tropical plant‐pollinator networks, where vegetation characteristics were generated...
