Similar Sensorimotor Activations with and without Virtual Limbs During Action Execution and Observation in Neurorehabilitation SystemsNARA Subscribed
Virtual reality rehabilitation systems often represent actions through virtual limbs. However, previous observation-only studies suggest that frontoparietal networks involved in action observation and execution may also be engaged by simpler virtual effectors. In the present fMRI study, we examined whether the visual presence of a virtual limb modulates brain activity during both action execution and action observation in a vi...
Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for SpainNARA Subscribed
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of long‐term changes in dry‐spell dynamics across Spain for the period 1961–2024, using both classical non‐parametric methods and a novel non‐stationary probabilistic framework applied to exceedance series of dry‐spell durations. Using daily precipitation data from a dense network of quality‐controlled stations, dry‐spells were identified based on four thresholds (0.1, 1, 5, and 1...
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...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Cities Is Not Consistent Among Cosmopolitan Plant SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Urbanisation has led to increasing homogenization of plant communities across cities. However, it is unclear whether these patterns extend to cosmopolitan plant species at the genetic level. We examined genome‐wide genetic patterns in six widespread plant species (three Poaceae and three Asteraceae) across five cities in the USA (Boston, Baltimore, Minneapolis‐St. Paul, Phoenix, and Los Angeles) using reduced‐representation se...
Evaluating DAPI stain to assess sperm membrane integrity by flow cytometry in livestock speciesNARA Subscribed
Sperm viability is one of the key in vitro parameters of sperm quality closely related to fertility. Typically, sperm viability is assessed by flow cytometry (FC) with propidium iodide (PI) as the fluorescent stain. However, as PI emits in the red spectrum, it can overlap with other commonly used fluorochromes. Utilizing a blue viability stain, such as DAPI, for semen evaluation would free the red channel, enabling the use of...
This study introduces the first high-resolution hazard probability maps of extreme precipitation for Spain, marking a significant step toward a national climate service for hydrometeorological extremes. Using long-term daily precipitation records from a dense network of stations and incorporating topographic data, the methodology combines the Generalized Pareto distribution with universal kriging to spatially interpolate distr...
The effects of temperature changes on Totoaba macdonaldi larval development, growth, and respiratory ratesNARA Subscribed
Understanding the effects of environmental temperature on marine fish larvae is crucial for optimizing feeding regimes and promoting optimal development and growth from a zootechnical perspective in aquaculture practices. The present study investigated the impact of different rearing temperatures on development, growth, and oxygen consumption rates of Totoaba macdonaldi larvae. An open-flow seawater recirculating system was us...
Global Patterns and Drivers of Seagrass Biomass, Net Primary Production and Meadow StructureNARA Subscribed
Aim We decipher global patterns in seagrass growth and structure to advance seagrass science, facilitate multidisciplinary research, and promote effective management strategies and policy development for seagrass habitats. Location: Global. Time period: 1975 to 2024. Major taxa studied: Seagrasses—marine angiosperms. Methods A global data set on seagrass total biomass, total net primary productivity (NPP), shoot density, and p...
Diversity in Resource Use Strategies Promotes Productivity in Young Planted Tree Species MixturesNARA Subscribed
Mixed‐species forestry is a promising approach to enhance productivity, increase carbon sequestration, and mitigate climate change. Diverse forests, composed of species with varying structures and functional trait profiles, may have higher functional and structural diversity, which are attributes relevant to a number of mechanisms that can influence productivity. However, it remains unclear whether the context‐dependent roles...
Multiyear Drought Strengthens Positive and Negative Functional Diversity Effects on Tree Growth ResponseNARA Subscribed
Mixed‐species forests are proposed to enhance tree resistance and resilience to drought. However, growing evidence shows that tree species richness does not consistently improve tree growth responses to drought. The underlying mechanisms remain uncertain, especially under unprecedented multiyear droughts. We used a network of planted tree diversity experiments to investigate how neighborhood tree diversity and species' functio...
