Thermal tolerance and acclimation limits in bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) alevinNARA Subscribed
The critical thermal maximum ( CT max ) of bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) alevin was measured after 3 weeks of acclimation to 4–21°C. CT max increased from 24.3 at 4°C to 26.7 at 9°C, plateaued between 9 and 12°C (26.9°C), and declined to 25.9°C at 15°C. Acclimation mortality increased above 12°C, reaching 53.7% at 15°C, and no fish survived at 18–21°C. Condition factor declined at ≥12°C. Results indicate bull trout ale...
Corporations and financial institutions driving coastal conflicts involving Indigenous PeoplesNARA Subscribed
Socio-environmental conflicts associated with large-scale economic projects in Indigenous territories are well documented, but conflicts in coastal areas remain largely unexplored, despite the crucial differences between inland and coastal ecosystems. While the empirical literature about socio-environmental conflicts in Indigenous territories in coastal areas is growing, the role of financial institutions and corporations in t...
Radon is an established lung carcinogen, but more research is needed to inform whether area-based measures of radon exposure reflect underlying cancer risk. This study, the first of its kind in the UK, aimed to investigate the association between a nationwide indicative radon atlas and lung cancer risk in Northern Ireland, a region in which lung cancer screening programmes are under design. A population-based case–control stud...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Nutrient Transfer Dynamics of Anadromous Alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) in Freshwater Spawning and Nursery HabitatsNARA Subscribed
River herring (alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus and blueback herring, A . aestivalis ) can act as vectors of nutrient transfer between marine and freshwater environments. Adult river herring can transfer marine-derived nutrients to freshwater ecosystems during spawning migrations through excretions and direct consumption of adults, eggs, and early phase juveniles by freshwater scavengers and predators. Adults and juveniles can tr...
Anthropogenic change has resulted in pollinator declines and altered plant–pollinator interactions. This may alter pollination services, reducing the reproductive success of plants. Yet few datasets allow us to track changes in pollination services over time. Herbaria provide a unique opportunity to assess pollination services across broad spatial and temporal scales enabling the examination of associated spatiotemporal anthro...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
