Coastal waters are increasingly susceptible to low-oxygen conditions where circulation or nutrient inputs have been altered by anthropogenic activities, leading to increased occurrence of coastal hypoxia worldwide. Low-oxygen conditions also occur naturally in coastal settings, typically in bottom water or landward of sills where circulation is weak. Here we identify and characterize a persistent, low-oxygen layer in the mid-w...
Additively Manufactured Partially Porous PAEK Topologies for Proximal Tibia Revision Cones and SleevesNARA Subscribed
Metaphyseal cones and sleeves are an increasingly common component utilized in revision total knee arthroplasty. These partially porous devices have a high surface area and aim to integrate with cancellous bone of the distal femur and proximal tibia to increase the stability of the implant. Incidences of metal-hypersensitivity and macrophage-stimulated osteolysis have motivated the development of a non-metal alternative in the...
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...
Key message The study investigates how wind exposure influences wood density and microfibril angle in two Pinus taxa, revealing greater sensitivity in Pinus elliottii × caribaea and highlighting MFA as a better wind-response indicator. Abstract Wind is one of the most persistent natural forces affecting plants, driving them to adapt their properties for survival. With the projected increase in wind intensity and coverage, comm...
Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Gulf War Veterans in Relation to Deployment ExposuresNARA Subscribed
Many 1990–1991 Gulf War Veterans (GWVs) were exposed to toxicants and environmental hazards during deployment, including oil well fire smoke, chemical/biological agents, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pills, and pesticides. Multiple constituents of smoke are associated with increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD), and other toxic exposures have been associated with autonomic and lipid dysfunction. We us...
Genomic Footprints of Ancient Multi‐Species Introgression Events Among Allopatric Australo‐Papuan Butcherbird SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Climate change has influenced the evolution of the world's biota, shaping species distributions, promoting diversification and causing extinctions. The turbulent climatic oscillations of the Pleistocene, which caused repeated periods of isolation and secondary contact, have left lasting signatures on the genomes of species across the world. The resultant reticulate histories are difficult to untangle, yet offer unique insi...
Identifying the Climate Conditions Associated With Extreme Growth States in Trees Across the Western United StatesNARA Subscribed
Climate extremes—e.g., drought, atmospheric rivers, heat waves—are increasing in severity and frequency across the western United States of America (USA). Tree‐ring widths reflect the concurrent and legacy effects of such climate extremes, yet our ability to predict extreme tree growth is often poor. Could tree‐ring data themselves identify the most important climate variables driving extreme low‐ and high‐growth states? How d...
Rhenium-osmium and oxygen isotope homogeneity during the 2022 Mauna Loa eruption and implications for basaltic magma storageNARA Subscribed
Mauna Loa is one of the largest and most active volcanoes on Earth. The most recent eruption of Mauna Loa started on 27 November 2022, lasted for 13 days, and was preceded by the longest repose time of 38 years in its modern history. In this contribution, new trace- and highly siderophile-element (HSE: Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, Re) abundances, 187 Re- 187 Os, and 18 O/ 16 O data are reported for the 2022 lavas. These lavas have a li...
Key message Understanding bark allocation in juvenile stages of commercially viable Pinus trees can be useful in dating wood formation, thus improving the accuracy of correlating wood quality to environmental factors. Abstract Bark is an important and multifunctional part of plant anatomy that has been researched mostly in the context of fire history, timber resource assessments and more recently as a bioresource. Few studies...
