Purpose Deepwater Horizon oil spill (DWHOS) responders potentially experienced multiple stressors. We examined associations between DWHOS deployment-related stressor patterns and neurological and endocrine/metabolic conditions among U.S. Coast Guard active duty responders who completed post-deployment surveys (n = 3102). Methods Deployment-related stressor patterns were identified using principal component analysis of self-rep...
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...
Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot ( Calidris canutus ) Chicks Reflects Local Prey CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot ( Calidris canutus ), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology. Location Northwest Alaska (Nome), Northeast Greenland (Zackenberg) and North‐Central Russia (Taimyr Peninsula). Taxon Red Knot (Aves: Calidris can...
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...
Inter-individual variability of neurotransmitter receptor and transporter density in the human brainNARA Subscribed
Neurotransmitter receptors guide the propagation of signals between brain regions. Mapping receptor distributions in the brain is therefore necessary for understanding how neurotransmitter systems mediate the link between brain structure and function. Normative receptor density can be estimated using group averages from Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. However, the generalizability and reliability of group-average r...

Temperature and daily, rapid flow fluctuations alter emergence timing, survival, and body size of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fryNARA Subscribed
Abrupt flow changes from hydropower regulation, or ‘hydropeaking’, can cause sudden dewatering in rivers, but its interaction with climate change on aquatic organisms’ ontogenetic niche shifts is poorly understood. Hydropeaking is becoming increasingly common in regulated rivers, including those with populations of the threatened Atlantic salmon. This study examined how elevated temperatures, rapid flow fluctuations (simulatin...
Invasive bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis have spread throughout the Mississippi River basin, negatively impacting ecosystems. We used a remnant population (32 years after stocking) to better understand H. nobilis . We observed high annual survival (>95%), but growth was relatively slow. Lapilli otolith sections were reliable aging structures but underestimated H. nobilis age by ~10%. Dorsal‐fin rays and postcleithra al...
Proximity to natural habitat is known to enhance pollination services in large‐scale agriculture, but it remains unclear whether this holds in tropical smallholder farms. These systems are embedded in ecologically complex landscapes, central to global food security, and depend heavily on biodiversity‐derived ecosystem services. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 35 studies assessing the relationship between...
