The warm Atlantic inflow across the Iceland-Faroe Ridge (IFR) is the strongest of the three branches carrying warm water to the Nordic Seas and further into the Arctic Ocean. This branch (IF-inflow) carries almost 50 % of the total Atlantic water inflow. After crossing the ridge, a large part of this water is converted to dense water that returns to the Atlantic as cold overflow, which contributes to the deep limb of the Atlan...
Behaviour of European eel Anguilla anguilla transitioning from the yellow resident to the silver migratory stage in marine watersNARA Subscribed
Current knowledge on the continental shelf and transatlantic spawning migration of the European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) is based on silver eels outmigrating from fresh water. However, an unknown proportion of eels grow in marine coastal waters during the continental part of their lifecycle and therefore start their spawning migration while they are already in marine waters. To study the onset of the European eel's spawning m...
Potato dormancy is a major obstacle in post-harvest evaluations for the certification of seed. Objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of several treatments to break dormancy and induce sprouting soon after harvest for Russet Burbank, Clearwater Russet, and Umatilla Russet. Treatments included: (a) control held at 18.3 C, (b) cold-stratification held at 4.4 C for two weeks, (c) temperature fluctuation held at 4....

Development of Potato Bruises as Influenced by Cultivar, Impact Height, and Holding TemperatureNARA Subscribed
Handling potatoes at harvest and throughout transloading operations can result in two main impact injuries: blackspot and shatter bruises. The objective of this study was to examine the development of blackspot and shatter bruises over a 24 to 48-h period as influenced by cultivar, impact height and holding temperature with the intent to identify whether more rapid, on-farm bruise evaluations could be used to facilitate change...
Norwegian salmon aquaculture production has grown rapidly since the 1970s. Accompanying the growing production have been a number of disease challenges of which at least two of the outbreaks threatened the industry's existence. The challenges caused by disease may appear to become more serious as the number of diseases being diagnosed and measures taken by the companies and regulators to manage disease increase. We will review...
Five-year psychological impact and surveillance compliance in the Australian Pancreatic Cancer Screening ProgramNARA Subscribed
Evidence of benefit for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) surveillance is accumulating, including earlier staging, extended survival, and improved psychological function. This study aimed to assess the 5-year psychological impact of high-risk PDAC surveillance, performed at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, Australia. Participants were offered annual endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with freq...
Digging Into the General Dynamic Model: How Island Ontogeny Shifts the Evolutionary Drivers of Lineage DivergenceNARA Subscribed
Aim The general dynamic model (GDM) of oceanic island biogeography proposes that evolutionary processes shift predictably with island ontogeny: opportunities for ecological speciation on young islands drive a rapid increase in diversity, which peaks on middle‐aged islands, then declines on older islands as extinction increases. Most studies reporting support for the GDM have not assessed the evolutionary processes associated w...
Influence of Mother Seed Tuber Size on Yield and Incidence of Seedborne Potato Virus YNARA Subscribed
Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important pathogen in seed potato production that may cause seed lots to be downgraded or rejected for certification. A study was conducted to determine if mother seed tuber size influences the prevalence of PVY within a seed sample during evaluations of seed-borne infection in a grow-out. The trial was conducted using Russet Norkotah (two growing seasons) and Umatilla Russet (one growing season). Se...
Weedy rice is a close relative of cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa ) that infests rice fields worldwide and drastically reduces yields. To combat this agricultural pest, rice farmers in the southern US began to grow herbicide‐resistant (HR) rice cultivars in the early 2000s, which permitted the application of herbicides that selectively targeted weedy rice without harming the crop. The widespread adoption of HR rice coincided wi...
Acoustic telemetry offers valuable opportunities to investigate individual variability in circadian‐related and other behaviours and how environmental cues shape these patterns in wild fish populations. However, this potential has not yet been fully exploited. We conducted a meta‐analysis on 44 datasets from 34 distinct marine and freshwater species and different types of data (acoustic detections, depth, acceleration and posi...
