Black dot has become an increasingly major issue in potato production, with recent studies highlighting its importance. The fungal pathogen responsible for this disease, Colletotrichum coccodes , is widely distributed across major potato-growing regions and in fields where alternative hosts are cultivated. The pathogen has a broad host range, including many economically important crops, several of which rank amongst the most w...
Multi-colony tracking of a marine central place forager reveals a site specific yet broadly consistent foraging strategyNARA Subscribed
Colonial central place foraging seabirds with a wide species range inhabit highly heterogenous habitats, which may result in colony-specific foraging behaviours. Simultaneously tracking seabirds from multiple colonies is key to elucidating factors influencing foraging behaviour and determining how species might respond to environmental perturbations. Here, we investigate the foraging behaviour of gentoo penguins ( Pygoscelis p...
Dune Russet (COTX08063-2Ru) is the first French fry russet potato cultivar released by the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program. It derives from a cross made by the Colorado State University Potato Program between Premier Russet and A99073-1 and was subsequently selected and advanced by the Texas Program. Dune Russet has oblong potato tubers with light russet skin texture and white flesh. It is characterized by having excellent F...
Purpose of Review This paper reviews the current understanding of the potential for humans to enter a state of torpor/hibernation, and discusses the possibility of inducing torpor in astronauts for long-duration space travel, including some of the physiological, technological, and ethical considerations associated with its implementation. By exploring means to induce torpor in various human organoid systems, we hope such resea...
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...
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...
Environmental Variability Shapes Life‐History Trade‐Offs Within and Between Populations of a Long‐Lived SeabirdNARA Subscribed
Individuals face a trade‐off between allocating resources to reproduction or self‐maintenance, yet the drivers of the existence and strength of such trade‐off have been hard to determine. Environmental conditions are thought to play a crucial role, as long‐lived species are predicted to favour more precautionary life‐history strategies in variable environments. However, empirical evidence remains limited. Using long‐term monit...
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...
Environmental and associated ecosystem change may affect the persistence of fish species based on their ability to adapt to changing conditions, including decreasing flows and rising water temperatures. Exceeding the thermal tolerances of stream fish will likely result in a loss of ability to maintain metabolic processes. We evaluated the critical thermal maximum (CTmax) of bigmouth shiner ( Ericymba dorsalis ) and analysed th...

Acupuncture is used worldwide to treat migraine, but its scientific mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report a 1 H NMR metabolomics study involving 40 migraine patients and 10 healthy individuals randomly receiving acupuncture or sham acupuncture, followed by machine learning techniques and functional analysis. We found that acupuncture at acupoints particularly enhanced anaerobic glycolysis and modified mitochondrial functi...
Climate change and local pressures are eroding the health and performance of many watersheds and their freshwater ecosystems, pushing these complex social‐ecological systems to the boundaries of their safe operating space. Here, we offer a synthetic perspective on the downscaled application of the safe operating space concept to inform the stewardship of watersheds in this time of rapid climate change, with particular focus on...
Aim Plants are hypothesised to have changed in function, biogeography and environmental impact throughout the Phanerozoic. The fossil record preserves large‐scale shifts in water use traits with evolution. We test how time‐appropriate plants modified their environment differently based on their water use traits and where they survived during Earth's penultimate icehouse using a computer model. Location Global Pangea. Time Peri...
