The increased demand for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) testing in milk highlights the critical need for well-characterized samples that enable meaningful evaluation of current detection methods. In this study, we focus on the development and rigorous characterization of artificially contaminated spiked milk samples, forming the foundation for reliable assessment of assay performance. By using reverse transcriptase d...
With the emergence of diseases, the U.S. catfish industry is under challenge. Current trends prefer autochthonous bacteria as potential probiotic candidates owing to their adaptability and capacity to effectively colonize the host's intestine, which can enhance production performance and bolster disease resistance. The objective of this study was to isolate an autochthonous bacterium as probiotic for hybrid catfish. Initially,...
A replication of the personal-ambient PM2.5 meta-correlationNARA Subscribed
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Expert range maps of global mammal distributions harmonised to three taxonomic authoritiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal spec...
Effectiveness of a Constructed Wetland with Carbon Filtration in Reducing Pesticides Associated with Agricultural RunoffNARA Subscribed
The Salinas Valley in Monterey County, California, USA, is a highly productive agricultural region. Irrigation runoff containing pesticides at concentrations toxic to aquatic organisms poses a threat to aquatic ecosystems within local watersheds. This study monitored the effectiveness of a constructed wetland treatment system with a granulated activated carbon (GAC) filter installation at reducing pesticide concentrations and...
Evolving immunogenicity assay performance expectations and a lack of harmonized anti-drug antibody validation testing and reporting tools have resulted in significant time spent by health authorities and sponsors on resolving filing queries. Following debate at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences National Biotechnology Conference, a group was formed to address these gaps. Over the last 3 years, 44 members from...
Pantropical variability in tree crown allometryNARA Subscribed
Aim Tree crowns determine light interception, carbon and water exchange. Thus, understanding the factors causing tree crown allometry to vary at the tree and stand level matters greatly for the development of future vegetation modelling and for the calibration of remote sensing products. Nevertheless, we know little about large‐scale variation and determinants in tropical tree crown allometry. In this study, we explored the co...
Using environmental report cards to monitor implementation of iwi plans and strategies, including restoration plansNARA Subscribed
Protecting valued attributes of a river’s socio‐ecological system demands a more holistic approach to freshwater management. Effective communication is critical to convey the breadth of values and the state of water systems to decision‐makers if they are to make meaningful decisions. Worldwide, environmental report cards are being used to define and measure progress towards environmental sustainability and promoted as an effec...
Aim Understanding how ecological and evolutionary processes together determine patterns of biodiversity remains a central aim in biology. Guided by ecological theory, we use data from multiple arthropod lineages across the Hawaiian archipelago to explore the interplay between ecological (population dynamics, dispersal, trophic interactions) and evolutionary (genetic structuring, adaptation, speciation, extinction) processes. O...
Invasion genetics of a human commensal rodent: the black rat R attus rattus in M adagascarNARA Subscribed
Studies focusing on geographical genetic patterns of commensal species and on human history complement each other and provide proxies to trace common colonization events. On Madagascar, the unintentional introduction and spread of the commensal species R attus rattus by people may have left a living clue of human colonization patterns and history. In this study, we addressed this question by characterizing the genetic structur...
