Effects of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol on cognitive outcomes following acute use of cannabis for chronic painNARA Subscribed
Rationale An estimated two-thirds of medical cannabis users in the United States are motivated by chronic pain, but clinical guidance remains guarded as to whether the potential benefit of cannabinoids for pain outweighs potential risks, such as effects on cognition. Objectives In a study where participants experienced benefits of cannabinoids for pain and tension, we evaluated cannabis effects on executive function, processin...
Temperature Influences Pseudocapillaria tomentosa Infections in Zebrafish, Danio rerio (Hamilton 1822)NARA Subscribed
Poikilothermic organisms like fish are key economic drivers in aquaculture and the ornamental fish trade. Climate change impacts the health of fish because poikilothermic hosts experience the same temperature as their environment, making temperature a critical determinant of parasite infection dynamics. Pseudocapillaria tomentosa , a capillarid nematode infecting approximately 20% of zebrafish research facilities, provides an...
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Resident and Migratory Falcons' Breeding Phenology and Productivity Respond Differently to Weather and Climate Change Across the ArcticNARA Subscribed
Climate change is disproportionately warming the Arctic, leading to changes in weather patterns that affect breeding phenology for many Arctic species. Despite extensive research on non‐predatory birds, few studies have examined the impacts of climate change on higher trophic levels, especially those comparing breeding phenology and productivity between migratory and resident species. Our study used long‐term monitoring data f...
A climate services organization supporting coastal resilience: lessons from the Stone Living LabNARA Subscribed
There is a growing recognition that effective climate adaptation requires organizations that can translate science into policy-relevant, place-based implementation. The Stone Living Lab (SLL) was established as a climate services organization to help bridge the gap between climate adaptation research and real-world application. In this paper, we present the Lab as a model for how universities and NGOs can partner with governme...
Quantifying Pathogen eDNA at a Trap‐and‐Haul Facility for Adult Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha )NARA Subscribed
Adult Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) trap‐and‐haul operations exist in rivers across the Pacific Northwest with the objective of re‐establishing salmon populations above impoundments. These efforts are complicated by high prespawn mortality (PSM), which can hinder restoration by reducing reproductive success. Recent improvements at trapping facilities in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, USA, may reduce PSM by s...
Laboratory Transmission of Adult Salmon Enteritis and Associated Pathogens in Juvenile Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha )NARA Subscribed
Adult salmon enteritis (ASE), characterised by severe ulcerative enteritis, has been linked to prespawn mortality (PSM) in spring Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) in certain rivers in Oregon, USA. Catastrophic losses of spring Chinook salmon have resulted from PSM, a significant threat to their population stability. Understanding the causes of ASE is therefore critical for mitigating PSM and supporting conservation....
Purpose Breast cancer etiology is multifactorial with African American women experiencing a significant health disparity in clinical presentation and outcomes. The selenium-containing protein SELENOF has been implicated in breast carcinogenesis by cell culture and animal studies. SELENOF translation is highly regulated in part by the RNA helicase eIF4a3, which binds to the key regulatory regions in the SELENOF mRNA and suppres...
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...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
