Periodical cicada ( Magicicada spp.) ranges have continued to decline even as their habitat has rebounded from historic lows. This counterintuitive trajectory may be a consequence of Magicicada 's limited dispersal capabilities combined with their requirement that individual host trees survive across decades. Indeed, we find that the presence of Magicicada breeding populations is best predicted by tree cover in 1930, not by pr...
An Update on Advancement in Genomics Resources for Spiny Lobster Aquaculture DevelopmentNARA Subscribed
The rapid advancement of high‐throughput sequencing technologies has transformed aquaculture genomics, enabling unprecedented insights into the biology and improvement of non‐model aquatic species. Among crustaceans, lobsters represent one of the most commercially valuable yet genomically underexplored taxa. This review synthesises the current state of genomic and transcriptomic resources available for spiny and slipper lobste...
Making palaeoclimatology research policy‐relevant: Insights and experience from the DECADAL ProjectNARA Subscribed
Quaternary palaeoclimatology uniquely provides insights and new evidence about climate variability trends and extremes prior to the instrumental record; yet, its knowledge is rarely integrated into governmental decision‐making. This opinion piece shares lessons and experience from the UKRI‐funded DECADAL project, which bridges palaeoclimate science and policy through co‐production with UK climate services and policy institutio...
Offshore fossil fuel extraction and marine conservation: intensifying regulatory challenges in AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Conflicts between marine conservation and extractive industries are escalating globally. This is particularly evident in Australia, where societal perceptions of sustainability, climate concerns, and socio-ecological ideals clash with government economic priorities and fossil fuel interests. Australia’s offshore petroleum licensing and regulatory processes are examined, focusing on the initial decision to release offshore acre...
Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool. We quantified the degree to which threats in IUCN assessments for 3 vertebrate groups (birds, amphibians, and ray‐finned fishes) were based o...
Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivoresNARA Subscribed
Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process grounded in risk perception theory and moral psychology to ensure strong content vali...
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...
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...
The slipper lobster ( Thenus australiensis ) is a promising aquaculture species, yet its nutritional requirements remain poorly defined compared to those of other crustaceans. A preliminary factorial model was developed in this study to quantify the daily protein and energy requirements of juvenile slipper lobsters, with demands partitioned into maintenance and growth components. Using data from two controlled growth experimen...
