Scaling of Short‐Duration, Summer Rainfall Event Temporal Profiles With Warming Over Great BritainNARA Subscribed
The relationship between extreme rainfall and temperature, known as temperature scaling, is widely used to understand changes in rainfall characteristics under a warming climate. While most previous studies have focussed on fixed‐duration intensities or event totals, this study examines how different aspects of the rainfall temporal profile respond to temperature. Specifically, we focus on temperature scaling of total event de...
In response to increasing global interest in the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for non-invasively monitoring fish populations, the relationships between eDNA concentrations and electrofishing-derived relative biomasses and abundances were assessed for two ecologically distinct Australian native freshwater species: Murray cod ( Maccullochella peelii ) and bony herring ( Nematalosa erebi ). Species-specific eDNA assays tar...
Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservationNARA Subscribed
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time. Sharks, rays, and chimaeras (Chondrichthyes) have now been comprehensively assessed twice (1996–2011 and 2012–2021) with hindcast assessments from 1970 onward, yielding an unprece...
Linking Climate and Demography to Predict Population Dynamics and Persistence Under Global ChangeNARA Subscribed
Predicting the effects of climate change on plant and animal populations is an urgent challenge for understanding the fate of biodiversity under global change. At the surface, quantifying how climate drives the vital rates that underlie population dynamics appears simple, yet many decisions are required to connect climate to demographic data. Competing approaches have emerged in the literature with little consensus around best...
Caribbean Creep meets Chesapeake Creep: marine bioinvasions and community shifts along the Mid-Atlantic Coast, USANARA Subscribed
The Mid-Atlantic waters of North America are warming faster than > 90% of other global oceans, leading to significant increases in bottom water temperatures and influencing shifts in marine community structure. Given this modern-day scenario of significant community shifts over space and time, baseline surveys of species diversity are increasingly valuable. Therefore, we performed the first-ever marine bioinvasions Rapid Asses...
In the last 2 decades, UK research institutes have led a wide range of developments in marine data assimilation (MDA), covering areas from operational applications in physics and biogeochemistry to fundamental theory. We highlight the emergence of strong collaboration in the UK MDA community over this period and the increasing unification of its tools. We focus on identifying the MDA stakeholder community and current/future ar...
Along the U.S. east coast, the widespread non-native red alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla provides habitat for an array of macroinvertebrates, including the eastern mudsnail Ilyanassa obsoleta . Though I. obsoleta tolerates a wide temperature range, increases in summer water temperatures may enhance mortality; furthermore, the presence of non-native algae in rising seawater temperatures could exacerbate harmful conditions. We t...
Early life history traits and elevated growth trajectories associated with survival into winter in range-expanding coral reef fishNARA Subscribed
Climate change is driving the poleward range expansion of sub-tropical and tropical marine species into temperate ecosystems, with ocean-warming hotspots experiencing rapid shifts in species distributions. While recruitment to temperate waters by expatriating tropical vagrant fish is increasing, surviving through the cooler winters remains a significant barrier to their establishment. This study investigates the links between...
