The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Passive acoustic monitoring, which uses autonomous audio recorders in the field, offers a powerful, efficient and cost-effective survey method that samples continuously and non-invasively. But despite its potential, its application remains atypical in primate research. We conducted a field test of passive acoustic density estimation in a near range-wide survey of the Critically Endangered Nosy Be sportive lemur ( Lepilemur tym...
Demands for territorial recognition are foundational to the claiming of rights by forest‐proximate people who attempt to conserve their forests. The rights of these often‐marginalized populations have been largely overlooked by conservationists, yet they are central to achieving people‐centered conservation. We further developed the concept of forest citizenship as a normative framework and analytical tool based on Brazilian s...
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...
Evaluation of the Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Novel Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 4 Inhibitors in MicrogliaNARA Subscribed
Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a key lipid binding protein expressed in microglia, which has been demonstrated to play a critical role in microglial-mediated neuroinflammation, a component of many neurodegenerative diseases. Compounds able to inhibit the function of FABP4 have shown promise in reducing microglial-mediated neuroinflammation, however, their physicochemical properties would prevent their ability to be ea...
Guidance on selecting and evaluating AI auto-segmentation systems in clinical radiotherapy: insights from a six-vendor analysisNARA Subscribed
Artificial Intelligence (AI) based auto-segmentation has demonstrated numerous benefits to clinical radiotherapy workflows. However, the rapidly changing regulatory, research, and market environment presents challenges around selecting and evaluating the most suitable solution. To support the clinical adoption of AI auto-segmentation systems, Selection Criteria recommendations were developed to enable a holistic evaluation of...
Assessing focal spot alignment in clinical linear accelerators: a comprehensive evaluation with triplet phantomsNARA Subscribed
A fundamental parameter to evaluate the beam delivery precision and stability on a clinical linear accelerator (linac) is the focal spot position (FSP) measured relative to the collimator axis of the radiation head. The aims of this work were to evaluate comprehensive data on FSP acquired on linacs in clinical use and to establish the ability of alternative phantoms to detect effects on patient plan delivery related to FSP. FS...
FreshLanDiv : A Global Database of Freshwater Biodiversity Across Different Land UsesNARA Subscribed
Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...
