Ecological but Not Biological Traits of European Riverine Invertebrates Respond Consistently to Anthropogenic ImpactsNARA Subscribed
Aim To determine which riverine invertebrate traits respond consistently to anthropogenic impacts across multiple biogeographic regions. Location Europe. Time Period 1981–2021. Major Taxa Studied Riverine invertebrates. Methods We compiled a database of riverine invertebrate community time series for 673 sites across six European countries spanning six freshwater ecoregions. We compared trait responses to anthropogenic impacts...
Enhanced antimicrobial efficacy and energy efficiency of low irradiance 405-nm light for bacterial decontaminationNARA Subscribed
Due to its increased safety over ultraviolet light, there is interest in the development of antimicrobial violet-blue light technologies for infection control applications. To ensure compatibility with exposed materials and tissue, the light irradiances and dose regimes used must be suitable for the target application. This study investigates the antimicrobial dose responses and germicidal efficiency of 405 nm violet-blue ligh...
Guiding principles for rewildingNARA Subscribed
There has been much recent interest in the concept of rewilding as a tool for nature conservation, but also confusion over the idea, which has limited its utility. We developed a unifying definition and 10 guiding principles for rewilding through a survey of 59 rewilding experts, a summary of key organizations’ rewilding visions, and workshops involving over 100 participants from around the world. The guiding principles convey...
The Australian National Rabbit Database: 50 yr of population monitoring of an invasive speciesNARA Subscribed
With ongoing introductions into Australia since the 1700s, the European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) has become one of the most widely distributed and abundant vertebrate pests, adversely impacting Australia's biodiversity and agroeconomy. To understand the population and range dynamics of the species and its impacts better, occurrence and abundance data have been collected by researchers and citizens from sites covering a...
Resistance to RHD virus in wild Australian rabbits: Comparison of susceptible and resistant individuals using a genomewide approachNARA Subscribed
Deciphering the genes involved in disease resistance is essential if we are to understand host–pathogen coevolutionary processes. The rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus ( RHDV ) was imported into Australia in 1995 as a biocontrol agent to manage one of the most successful and devastating invasive species, the European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ). During the first outbreaks of the disease, RHDV caused mortality rates of up...
