Macrofauna accelerates nutrient cycling through litterfall in cocoa agroforestry systemsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to better understand nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) cycling through litterfall in smallholder cocoa agroforestry systems and to assess if these nutrient flows can be measured using standard litterbags. Annual litter production, relative mass loss, and nutrient loss rates from cocoa leaf litter were evaluated in three farms in south-western Nigeria with and without macrofauna access. Litterfall...
Differential effects of fentanyl compared to morphine on neuroinflammatory signaling in the brain in EcoHIV-infected miceNARA Subscribed
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) pose significant challenges, particularly in individuals with comorbid opioid use disorder (OUD). Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, is a leading contributor to opioid-related fatalities, yet its effects in the context of HIV remain poorly understood. This study investigated the differential impacts of fentanyl and morphine on neuroinflammatory signaling, blood–brain barrier (BB...
Microstructure development in lacustrine, fine-grained sediments traced by in situ and laboratory testingNARA Subscribed
Soil microstructure, often defined as the combination of particle arrangement and bonding, can strongly influence the stiffness and strength of sedimentary deposits. As undisturbed soil sampling is a challenging task in fine-grained soils, seismic in situ testing is becoming increasingly more important to investigate its mechanical behaviour. The aim of this article is to evaluate the influences of sediment depositional age an...
Surveys aimed at finding threatened and invasive species can be challenging due to individual rarity and low and variable individual detection rates. Detection rate in plant surveys typically varies due to differences among observers, among the individual plants being surveyed (targets), and across background environments. Interactions among these 3 components may occur but are rarely estimated due to limited replication and c...
Land managers decide how to allocate resources among multiple threats that can be addressed through multiple possible actions. Additionally, these actions vary in feasibility, effectiveness, and cost. We sought to provide a way to optimize resource allocation to address multiple threats when multiple management options are available, including mutually exclusive options. Formulating the decision as a combinatorial optimization...
Evolution, inactivation and loss of short wavelength‐sensitive opsin genes during the diversification of Neotropical cichlidsNARA Subscribed
Natural variation in the number, expression and function of sensory genes in an organism's genome is often tightly linked to different ecological and evolutionary forces. Opsin genes, which code for the first step in visual transduction, are ideal models for testing how ecological factors such as light environment may influence visual system adaptation. Neotropical cichlid fishes are a highly ecologically diverse group that ev...
