Tourism and coastal fisheries play key roles supporting livelihoods and shaping local development in coastal areas. Balancing social-economic benefits with ecological sustainability remains a significant challenge. Overexploitation of marine resources is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in marine ecosystems, and tourism has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to fisheries by supporting conservation goals whi...
Similar Sensorimotor Activations with and without Virtual Limbs During Action Execution and Observation in Neurorehabilitation SystemsNARA Subscribed
Virtual reality rehabilitation systems often represent actions through virtual limbs. However, previous observation-only studies suggest that frontoparietal networks involved in action observation and execution may also be engaged by simpler virtual effectors. In the present fMRI study, we examined whether the visual presence of a virtual limb modulates brain activity during both action execution and action observation in a vi...
Viral Infection Risk Driven by Ecological Trait Susceptibility to Habitat HeterogeneityNARA Subscribed
Traits for host exploitation that drive the transmission of disease and pathogen emergence are expressed in heterogenous environments. To advance the development of accurate forecasting of infection risk and emergence, determining constraints on ecological strategies for resource use by pathogens over a range of host communities is essential. Infection risk, that is, the likelihood of infection, is approximated by incidence. H...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Optimizing water purification with Shungite: a metric approach for characterizing its efficiency in removing contaminantsNARA Subscribed
Shungite is a Precambrian carbon-rich metamorphic rock from the Lake Onega region (Karelia, Russia), consisting of fullerene-like polyhedral carbon within a silicate matrix. Its high carbon content and extended conjugation confer notable sorptive and catalytic behavior. We evaluated its multifunctional potential for water purification targeting organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants. Two grades (Type I, Type III) were...
