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...
A Proposed Novel Neurovascular Mechanism for Brain Network Dysfunction After Traumatic InjuryNARA Subscribed
Current research in predicting traumatic brain injury risk focuses on the relationship between head impacts and the likelihood of white matter damage, often overlooking the role of neurovascular coupling in the injury response. To fill this gap, we combined biomechanical and neurodynamic principles to simulate alterations to large-scale resting-state brain activity following head impacts. We simulated cortical neural activity...
Inshore marine coastal zone migration patterns in Atlantic salmon post‐smolts emigrating from eight rivers in north‐east ScotlandNARA Subscribed
Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar , migrate through multiple habitat types, each having the potential to impact differently upon migration success. The inshore marine coastal zone is arguably disproportionately impacted by potential stressors on populations. We investigated the migration of Atlantic salmon post‐smolts ( n = 898) from eight rivers (populations) through the inshore marine coastal zone over a 2‐year period using acous...
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...
Sometimes missing the heat: the risk of underestimating extreme heat days with daily maximum heat index approximationNARA Subscribed
The heat index (HI) metric is used in many studies linking weather conditions (observed or climate model-projected temperature and humidity) to health impacts. Because climate models often provide only daily data, a common approximation method estimates the daily maximum HI ( hismaxest ) from daily maximum temperature ( tasmax ) and minimum relative humidity ( hursmin ), assuming they coincide with the actual peak HI ( hismax2...
Community-based mangrove restoration following a catastrophic hurricane in The BahamasNARA Subscribed
Restoration of damaged coastal ecosystems is a component of broader conservation strategies. Hurricane Dorian (September 2019) was the worst natural disaster in the history of The Bahamas. This caused widespread societal and ecological damage, including destroying mangrove ecosystems—systems that provide numerous ecosystem services for the country. We first used satellite mapping to document mangrove destruction caused by Dori...
Determinants of riverine migration success by Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) smolts from rivers across the UK and IrelandNARA Subscribed
There is some evidence that the river migration success of Atlantic salmon smolts, on their first migration to sea, varies both spatially and temporally. However, we have only a poor understanding of what may be driving this variation. In this study, we used acoustic telemetry to quantify the spatial and temporal variations in river migration success in Atlantic salmon smolts on their first migration to sea. In total 4120 Atla...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
Remotely Sensed Fire Heterogeneity and Biomass Recovery Predicts Empirical Biodiversity ResponsesNARA Subscribed
Aim To compare field‐based evidence of plant and animal responses to fire with remotely sensed signals of fire heterogeneity and post‐fire biomass recovery. Location South‐eastern Australia; New South Wales. Time Period 2019–2022. Major Taxa Studied A total of 982 species of plants and animals, in eight taxonomic groups: amphibians, birds, fish, insects, mammals, molluscs, plants and reptiles. Methods We collated 545,223 plant...
Complementary value of molecular, phenotypic, and functional aging biomarkers in dementia predictionNARA Subscribed
DNA methylation age (MA), brain age (BA), and frailty index (FI) are putative aging biomarkers linked to dementia risk. We investigated their relationship and combined potential for prediction of cognitive impairment and future dementia risk using the ADNI database. Of several MA algorithms, DunedinPACE and GrimAge2, associated with memory, were combined in a composite MA alongside BA and a data-driven FI in predictive analyse...
