Rancho La Brea (RLB) in Los Angeles, USA, is an iconic fossil locality, owing to the high number and diversity of Quaternary vertebrate remains and their excellent preservation. More than a century of study, focused predominantly on large mammals, has provided valuable information along different lines of research, including taxonomy, taphonomy, isotopic ecology, functional morphology, and paleopathology. In order to develop a...
The Effect of Mindfulness-based Programs on Cognitive Function in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysisNARA Subscribed
Mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) are increasingly utilized to improve mental health. Interest in the putative effects of MBPs on cognitive function is also growing. This is the first meta-analysis of objective cognitive outcomes across multiple domains from randomized MBP studies of adults. Seven databases were systematically searched to January 2020. Fifty-six unique studies ( n = 2,931) were included, of which 45 ( n = 2,23...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Twenty‐first‐century climate change impacts on marine animal biomass and ecosystem structure across ocean basinsNARA Subscribed
Climate change effects on marine ecosystems include impacts on primary production, ocean temperature, species distributions, and abundance at local to global scales. These changes will significantly alter marine ecosystem structure and function with associated socio‐economic impacts on ecosystem services, marine fisheries, and fishery‐dependent societies. Yet how these changes may play out among ocean basins over the 21st cent...
Drought variability and change across the Iberian PeninsulaNARA Subscribed
Fisheries have had major negative impacts on marine ecosystems, and effective fisheries management and governance are needed to achieve sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation goals and thus good ecosystem status. To date, the IndiSeas programme (Indicators for the Seas) has focussed on assessing the ecological impacts of fishing at the ecosystem scale using ecological indicators. Here, we explore fisheries ‘Managemen...
Homogenization and analysis of an expanded long‐term monthly rainfall network for the Island of Ireland (1850–2010)NARA Subscribed
Long‐term precipitation series are critical for understanding emerging changes to the hydrological cycle. To this end we construct a homogenized Island of Ireland Precipitation ( IIP ) network comprising 25 stations and a composite series covering the period 1850–2010, providing the second‐longest regional precipitation archive in the British‐Irish Isles. We expand the existing catalogue of long‐term precipitation records for...
Aim There has been considerable effort allocated to understanding the impact of climate change on our physical environment, but comparatively little to how life on Earth and ecosystem services will be affected. Therefore, we have developed a spatial–temporal food web model of the global ocean, spanning from primary producers through to top predators and fisheries. Through this, we aim to evaluate how alternative management act...
BAAD: a Biomass And Allometry Database for woody plantsNARA Subscribed
Understanding how plants are constructed—i.e., how key size dimensions and the amount of mass invested in different tissues varies among individuals—is essential for modeling plant growth, carbon stocks, and energy fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere. Allocation patterns can differ through ontogeny, but also among coexisting species and among species adapted to different environments. While a variety of models dealing with bio...
