Drivers of ecosystem metabolism in temperate kelp forests: A high‐resolution aquatic eddy covariance studyNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are highly productive coastal ecosystems that sustain organic carbon cycling and diverse food webs; however, their ecosystem metabolism remains insufficiently quantified due to a lack of suitable in situ methods. In this study, the aquatic eddy covariance technique was used to quantify oxygen (O 2 ) flux and net ecosystem metabolism in Ecklonia cava forests along Jeju Island, Korea. We also applied partial least s...
Early Posttransplant urine ammonium-pH index levels and graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipientsNARA Subscribed
Introduction Functional assessment is essential to quantify kidney graft quality early after kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation is inherently associated with ischemia–reperfusion-injury, a noxious insult for proximal tubule cells that may not be captured by glomerular function markers. The urine ammonium-pH index (uAPI) is a functional measure of the tubulointerstitial capacity for ammonium excretion. Here, we aime...
Tree ferns on the move: patterns of movement and current introduction status of Cyatheales species around the worldNARA Subscribed
Tree ferns (order Cyatheales) have been moved from their native ranges for more than two centuries, and the number of species introduced to new countries has recently increased rapidly. However, no comprehensive global list of alien tree ferns exists. Botanical garden collections and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility database were examined, and a systematic literature review was conducted to collect information on t...
Increasing riparian vegetation cover to improve water quality: the importance of considering land useNARA Subscribed
Riparian vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating sediment dynamics, reducing surface runoff, mobilising sediment and stabilising streambanks. Despite extensive research on sediment loads and riparian vegetation individually, there remains a gap in understanding their interrelationship, particularly within the context of water quality and catchment management. This study investigates the statistical association between wa...
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...

Advancements in genomic crop techniques and considerations for regulation and food safetyNARA Subscribed
Advancements in genomic crop techniques have led to the development of new genetic technologies, such as base- and prime editing, but improvements have been made to existing conventional techniques as well. Fields in which these advancements occur include targeted mutagenesis, conventional random mutagenesis, and developments with null segregants, e.g. , crops from which transgenic elements have been crossed out. In this revie...
Genomic insights on conservation priorities for North Sea houting and European lake whitefish ( Coregonus spp.)NARA Subscribed
Population genomics analysis holds great potential for informing conservation of endangered populations. We focused on a controversial case of European whitefish ( Coregonus spp.) populations. The endangered North Sea houting is the only coregonid fish that tolerates oceanic salinities and was previously considered a species ( C. oxyrhinchus ) distinct from European lake whitefish ( C. lavaretus ). However, no firm evidence fo...
Plankton communities today and tomorrow—potential impacts of multiple global change drivers and marine heatwavesNARA Subscribed
In the context of global change, marine organisms are subjected not only to gradual changes in abiotic parameters, but also to an increasing number of extreme events, such as heatwaves. However, we still know little about the influence of heatwaves on the structure of marine communities, and experimental studies are needed to test the impact of heatwaves alone and in combination with other environmental drivers. Here, we condu...
