Comparing screening outcomes for private sector nature‐related assessments based on national and global biodiversity datasetsNARA Subscribed
In response to demand for better biodiversity stewardship from the private sector, frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have been developed to help companies assess, manage, and disclose their nature‐related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities. A key initial screening step is to identify operations in ecologically sensitive areas. This step is often conducted using global...
Stable isotopes reveal that gelatinous zooplankton diets group by taxonomy and feeding traits in a coastal upwelling systemNARA Subscribed
Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant in marine ecosystems, yet their trophic roles and functional diversity in food webs have only recently gained attention. Gelatinous zooplankton taxa including hydromedusae, ctenophores, siphonophores, chaetognaths, and pelagic tunicates span multiple phyla and are often grouped taxonomically, but trait‐based categorizations have emerged as an ecologically meaningful alternative. Considering...
Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) are among the most important aquaculture species but are highly susceptible to Vibrio infections. Novel disease management strategies are necessary. Previous studies have reported that peracetic acid (PAA) is an effective disinfectant, but its application in shrimp aquaculture remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) of PAA at tw...
Global fire regime change is threatening terrestrial biodiversity. Understanding how these changes affect biota is essential to protect biodiversity now and into the future. A targeted examination of the mechanisms through which fire influences populations will help achieve this by enabling comparisons and connections across taxa. Here, we develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes inf...
Tropical ecosystems contain the world's largest biodiversity of vascular plants. Yet, our understanding of tropical functional diversity and its contribution to global diversity patterns is constrained by data availability. This discrepancy underscores an urgent need to bridge data gaps by incorporating comprehensive tropical root data into global datasets. Here, we provide a database of tropical root characteristics. This new...
‘Megafire’—You May Not Like It, But You Cannot Avoid ItNARA Subscribed
Aim The term ‘megafire’ is increasingly used to describe large fires worldwide. We proposed a size‐based definition of megafire—fires exceeding 10,000 ha arising from single or multiple related ignition events. A recent perspective in Global Ecology and Biogeography argues against a size‐based definition of megafire and suggest that the term is too emotive for scientific use. We highlight that many scientific terms originate f...
Genetic resistance to the parasitic root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus thornei , is one of the main management strategies cereal growers can use to minimise the impact of nematodes on winter cereal cropping. Screening of genotypes in the presence of P. thornei populations must provide reliable resistance measures that are realised under field conditions. Adoption of the latest statistical methodologies can help to better diffe...
