Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Optimising parent selection in plant breeding: comparing metaheuristic algorithms for genotype buildingNARA Subscribed
Stacking desirable haplotypes across the genome to develop superior genotypes has been implemented in several crop species. A major challenge in Optimal Haplotype Selection is identifying a set of parents that collectively contain all desirable haplotypes, a complex combinatorial problem with countless possibilities. In this study, we evaluated the performance of metaheuristic search algorithms (MSAs)—genetic algorithm (GA), d...
Testing in-situ apatite Lu–Hf dating in polymetamorphic mafic rocks: a case study from Palaeoproterozoic southern AustraliaNARA Subscribed
In mafic systems where primary mineral assemblages have witnessed moderate- to high-temperature hydrous overprinting and deformation, little is known about the retentivity of the Lu–Hf isotopic system in apatite. This study presents apatite laser-ablation Lu–Hf and U–Pb geochronology, zircon geochronology, and detailed petrological information from polymetamorphic mafic intrusions located in the central-western Gawler Craton i...
Availability and transfer of non-essential elements in a rehabilitated bauxite residue grassland systemNARA Subscribed
Aims This study investigated a 7 yr old rehabilitated grassland established on a bauxite residue storage areas(RSA) in order to assess the availability and ecosystem transfer of both nutrient and trace elements, and to determine if defined rehabilitation criteria were sustained. Methods Rehabilitated residue/soil was sampled over depth (0–10 and 10-20 cm) and season (Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter) and plant growth stage (gre...
Nitrate leaching on Irish grassland dairy farms: A reviewNARA Subscribed
Effects of elevated water temperature on cutthroat trout angler catch rates and catch‐and‐release mortality in Idaho streamsNARA Subscribed
The concern is growing that angling may need to cease at elevated summer water temperatures to protect salmonid populations. Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii in streams were caught, marked and released using artificial dry flies at temperatures from 13.5 to 25.7°C to evaluate whether subsequent recapture with backpack electrofishing (an index of relative survival) was reduced when the water temperature was elevated at the...
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...
Mountain stoneflies may tolerate warming streams: Evidence from organismal physiology and gene expressionNARA Subscribed
Rapid glacier recession is altering the physical conditions of headwater streams. Stream temperatures are predicted to rise and become increasingly variable, putting entire meltwater‐associated biological communities at risk of extinction. Thus, there is a pressing need to understand how thermal stress affects mountain stream insects, particularly where glaciers are likely to vanish on contemporary timescales. In this study, w...
