Building climate-smart fisheries in Australia: insights from climate and ecosystem status reportsNARA Subscribed
Ongoing concerns about the impact of climate change on Australia’s oceans has driven a request from fisheries managers for improved science communication to the seafood sector. Despite these concerns, translating climate science into management and industry action at regional and sectoral scales remains a challenge. We developed a reporting structure for communicating climate and ecosystem status to fisheries management, indus...
Practice and legislation of felling residue management to prevent forest pests in European forestsNARA Subscribed
In the last few decades, bark beetle outbreaks have increased in European forests, triggered by extreme weather events, such as drought and windstorms. A core element of integrated pest management to control outbreaks are salvage logging and sanitation felling, i.e., the timely removal or treatment of potential brood material and already infested trees after disturbance events. Associated with these management operations as we...
Genetic mapping in collaborative cross mouse strains identifies loci that affect initial sensitivity to cocaineNARA Subscribed
Rationale Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a significant health concern that has devastating impacts on affected individuals and society. There are currently no approved therapies to treat CUD due, in part, to significant gaps in our knowledge about the underlying factors that increase risk. Individual genetic differences contribute to CUD risk. Identifying specific genetic mechanisms that increase risk could reveal novel targets...
Quantifying landslide strain localization phenomena using tensor analysis of multi-temporal lidar dataNARA Subscribed
A fundamental understanding of landslide evolution requires characterizing how deformation localizes within the sliding mass, as these non-homogeneous zones provide crucial insights into how destabilization initiates, failure surfaces develop, and the overall kinematic behavior evolves. While traditional analysis often assumes uniform movement, this study presents a methodology to quantify intricate patterns of surface deforma...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
We announce the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Rotating X-ray Computed Tomography (RXCT) Coral-Core Archive, a digital resource derived from ~360 coral reef cores curated at the USGS Pacific and St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Centers. The archive delivers calibrated 3-dimensional image volumes that enable reproducible values of skeletal density, linear extension, and calcification from decadal- to centennial-scale re...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
