Ecological and economic outcomes of area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management in the Mediterranean SeaNARA Subscribed
Intergovernmental targets are reinforcing the need for more sustainable fisheries and more effective marine conservation. It is now urgent to understand how area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management tools contribute to these environmental and socio-economic goals. Here, we systematically reviewed and assessed the outcomes of marine protected areas (accounting for their level of protection and of enforcement)...
Standardized microhaplotype databases and frameworks for assessing and mining crop genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...
Seasonal Variability of Residence Time and Ocean Exchange in a Semi-enclosed Gulf in Northwestern AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Coastal water exchange with the open ocean plays a key role in regulating the transport and distribution of nutrients, heat, pollutants, suspended sediments and organisms in semi-enclosed systems. In this study, we quantify coastal water exchange for Exmouth Gulf (Australian North West Shelf), a globally significant water body adjacent to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area. We use a high-resolution (200 m) hydrodynamic mod...
Features of possible regional ionospheric memory manifested themselves at low-latitudes under solar eclipse conditions.
Despite extensive research on the western Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster cf. solaris ), especially from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), there are persistent knowledge gaps that constrain understanding and management. Given renewed population irruptions of CoTS on the GBR, alongside escalating climate impacts and direct anthropogenic pressures, a quantitative assessment of knowledge gaps was undertake...
A climate services organization supporting coastal resilience: lessons from the Stone Living LabNARA Subscribed
There is a growing recognition that effective climate adaptation requires organizations that can translate science into policy-relevant, place-based implementation. The Stone Living Lab (SLL) was established as a climate services organization to help bridge the gap between climate adaptation research and real-world application. In this paper, we present the Lab as a model for how universities and NGOs can partner with governme...
Benthic diatoms and phytoplankton diversity in urban streams and ponds: charting a course for conservationNARA Subscribed
Benthic diatom and phytoplankton communities are key indicators of freshwater ecosystem health and change but remain understudied. A better understanding of their distribution and abundance drivers is crucial for effective biodiversity assessment and conservation. This study adopts a novel, multi-ecosystem approach to examine the seasonal (2019–2020) diversity of benthic diatom assemblages in urban streams and phytoplankton as...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Over the past decade, the estimation of water requirements in almond orchards has improved through the application of remote sensing models like the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model using various remote sensing platforms. However, there is limited understanding of how canopy-induced shadows influence surface reflectance and thermal infrared (TIR) signals particularly from small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) imagery in...
