Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Patterns of transcriptomic aging in the hippocampus of rhesus macaques highlight midlife transitionsNARA Subscribed
Patterns of brain aging are generally conserved among primates; however, there is marked variation in the observed rate among individuals, species, and brain regions. The hippocampus is a region particularly susceptible to the aging process. To better understand how the hippocampus changes over the lifespan, we measured gene expression in 96 banked hippocampus samples from adult male and female rhesus macaques aged 3–35 years...
Across Alaska, there have been synchronous declines in the abundance, mean age, and size of Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha , Salmonidae), a species with immense social and ecological importance. The decline of Chinook salmon, and regulations addressing declines, have drastically impacted people who rely on Alaska's fisheries. Despite their importance, the drivers causing Chinook salmon declines are still not well un...
Current trends and biases in groundwater modelling using the community-driven groundwater model portal (GroMoPo)NARA Subscribed
Groundwater, Earth’s largest nonfrozen freshwater reservoir, is vital for water supply security. Groundwater models help to manage complex domestic, agricultural, and industrial water demands while preserving ecosystem health under climate change. The community-driven groundwater model portal (GroMoPo) hosts groundwater model metadata to analyse biases and distribution of groundwater models. Over 450 models are currently featu...
Bridge to the future: Important lessons from 20 years of ecosystem observations made by the OzFlux networkNARA Subscribed
In 2020, the Australian and New Zealand flux research and monitoring network, OzFlux, celebrated its 20 th anniversary by reflecting on the lessons learned through two decades of ecosystem studies on global change biology. OzFlux is a network not only for ecosystem researchers, but also for those ‘next users’ of the knowledge, information and data that such networks provide. Here, we focus on eight lessons across topics of cli...
Neolithic farmers or Neolithic foragers? Organic residue analysis of early pottery from Rakushechny Yar on the Lower Don (Russia)NARA Subscribed
The emergence of pottery in Europe is associated with two distinct traditions: hunter-gatherers in the east of the continent during the early 6th millennium BC and early agricultural communities in the south-west in the late 7th millennium BC. Here we investigate the function of pottery from the site of Rakushechny Yar, located at the Southern fringe of Eastern Europe, in this putative contact zone between these two economic ‘...
