The nitrogen (N) isotopic composition of coral tissue provides insight into N sources and cycling on reefs, and coral skeleton-bound organic matter (CS-δ 15 N) can extend these insights into the past. Across the Bermuda platform, we measured the δ 15 N of four coral species and their potential N sources, as well as an asymbiotic filter feeder as a comparative heterotroph and benthic macroalgae as a comparative autotroph. Organ...
Introducing Elinor for monitoring the governance and management of area‐based conservationNARA Subscribed
Monitoring the governance and management effectiveness of area‐based conservation has long been recognized as an important foundation for achieving national and global biodiversity goals and enabling adaptive management. However, there are still many barriers that prevent conservation actors, including those affected by governance and management systems from implementing conservation activities and programs and from gathering...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
High proprioceptive acuity in slow and fast hand movementsNARA Subscribed
Despite increasing recognition of the need for more diverse and equitable representation in the sciences, it is unclear whether measurable progress has been made. Here, we examine trends in authorship in coral reef science from 1,677 articles published over the past 16 years (2003–2018) and find that while representation of authors that are women (from 18 to 33%) and from non-OECD nations (from 4 to 13%) have increased over ti...
Many species of whales went through recent bottlenecks due to commercial whaling. These declines were rapid and recent relative to the life spans and generation times of these species, raising questions regarding to what degree commercial whaling influenced the genetic characteristics of these populations. We analyzed mitochondrial and nuclear DNA from pre‐ and postwhaling samples from two populations that have arguably shown...
