Ten years have passed since the introduction of a standardized methodology for measuring consumption rates by animals in aquatic environments, known as “squidpops”. Its low-cost, easy-to-implement design made it an alternative for studies aiming to compare consumption rates across different scenarios. The objective of this review is to carry out a critical evaluation of squidpop studies over the past 10 years, examining the de...
Modeling Waves and Water Levels at the Entrance of a Bar-Built Estuary Under Variable Inlet OrientationsNARA Subscribed
Bar-built estuaries are shallow dynamic coastal systems with hydrodynamics influenced by rivers, tides, waves, and intermittent inlets. A numerical model based on Delft3D + SWAN was calibrated and validated against waves and water levels around Carmel River State Beach, CA, USA. The model was applied to explore swell propagation patterns in Carmel Bay at kilometer length-scales and the role of inlet orientation and curvature i...
Unidirectional trans‐Atlantic gene flow and a mixed spawning area shape the genetic connectivity of Atlantic bluefin tunaNARA Subscribed
The commercially important Atlantic bluefin tuna ( Thunnus thynnus ), a large migratory fish, has experienced notable recovery aided by accurate resource assessment and effective fisheries management efforts. Traditionally, this species has been perceived as consisting of eastern and western populations, spawning respectively in the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with mixing occurring throughout the Atlantic. Howeve...
Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and technological advances enable researchers to tap into trace elements and isotopes taken up in otoliths and other archival tissues at ever greater resolution. Increasingly, these tracers are applied to refine age estimation and interpretation, and to chronicle responses to environmental stressors, linking these to ecological, physiological, and l...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
The Agrodiversity Experiment: three years of data from a multisite study in intensively managed grasslandsNARA Subscribed
Intensively managed grasslands are globally prominent ecosystems. We investigated whether experimental increases in plant diversity in intensively managed grassland communities can increase their resource use efficiency. This work consisted of a coordinated, continental‐scale 33‐site experiment. The core design was 30 plots, representing 15 grassland communities at two seeding densities. The 15 communities comprised four monoc...
Diversity–interaction modeling: estimating contributions of species identities and interactions to ecosystem functionNARA Subscribed
We develop a modeling framework that estimates the effects of species identity and diversity on ecosystem function and permits prediction of the diversity–function relationship across different types of community composition. Rather than just measure an overall effect of diversity, we separately estimate the contributions of different species interactions. This is especially important when both positive and negative interactio...
