Temporal evolution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments of the Hooghly river, West Bengal, IndiaNARA Subscribed
The study evaluated the effect of monsoons on the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Hooghly River estuary sediments over 2018–2021. It was observed a cyclical enrichment of organic material, carbonate deposits, and clay over the post-monsoon and impoverishment over the monsoon because of the heavy rains and flood events. The mean total level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was 1682 ng/g with a wide range of...
Phylosymbiosis and Elevated Cancer Risk in Genetically Depauperate Channel Island FoxesNARA Subscribed
Examination of the host‐associated microbiome in wildlife can provide critical insights into the eco‐evolutionary factors driving species diversification and response to disease. This is particularly relevant for isolated populations lacking genomic variation, a phenomenon that is increasingly common as human activities create habitat ‘islands’ for wildlife. Here, we characterised the gut and otic microbial communities of one...
Purpose of Review Environmental chemical exposures may disrupt child development, with long-lasting health impacts. To date, U.S. studies of early environmental exposures have been limited in size and diversity, hindering power and generalizability. With harmonized data from over 60,000 participants representing 69 pregnancy cohorts, the National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) P...
Evaluating growth and intrinsic water-use efficiency in hardwood and conifer mixed plantationsNARA Subscribed
Key message Juglans, Fraxinus, Quercus and Pinus species seem to better maximize the carbon–water ratio providing useful indications on species selection for forestry plantations in areas with increasing drought risk. Abstract Maximizing carbon sequestration for a given water budget is extremely important in the contest of climate change in the Mediterranean region, which is characterized by increasing temperatures and rising...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
