Many species within the family Moronidae possess biological traits that facilitate their success as invasive species in freshwater ecosystems. In Iowa, USA, non-native Yellow Bass (Morone mississippiensis) have expanded their range into at least 19 glacial natural lakes, yet their trophic interactions in these complex systems remain poorly understood. From 2018 to 2020, we evaluated the open-water diet composition of 1300 Yell...
Border-independent multi-functional, multi-hazard exposure modelling in Alpine regionsNARA Subscribed
Extreme hydrometeorological events such as the 2018 Vaia storm increasingly threaten alpine regions with multiple hazards often compounded and with cascading effects. Currently available risk assessment and prevention tools may therefore prove inadequate, particularly for transborder and vulnerable mountain areas, calling for comprehensive multi-hazard and transdisciplinary approaches. In particular, the exposed assets should...
Aim The increasing spread of vector‐borne diseases has resulted in severe health concerns for humans, domestic animals and wildlife, with changes in land use and the introduction of invasive species being among the main possible causes for this increase. We explored several ecological drivers potentially affecting the local prevalence and richness of avian malaria parasite lineages in native and introduced house sparrows ( Pas...
Surveying cliff-nesting seabirds with unoccupied aircraft systems in the Gulf of AlaskaNARA Subscribed
Drones, or unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS), can transform the way scientific information on wildlife populations is collected. UAS surveys produce accurate estimates of ground-nesting seabirds and a variety of waterbirds, but few studies have examined the trade-offs of this methodology for counting cliff-nesting seabirds. In this study, we examined how different UAS survey parameters might influence seabird counts for popula...
High-resolution association mapping with libraries of immortalized lines from ancestral landracesNARA Subscribed
Key message Association mapping with immortalized lines of landraces offers several advantages including a high mapping resolution, as demonstrated here in maize by identifying the causal variants underlying QTL for oil content and the metabolite allantoin. Abstract Landraces are traditional varieties of crops that present a valuable yet largely untapped reservoir of genetic variation to meet future challenges of agriculture....
The International Phenological Garden network (1959 to 2021): its 131 gardens, cloned study species, data archiving, and futureNARA Subscribed
Collaborative networks that involve the compilation of observations from diverse sources can provide important data, but are difficult to maintain over long periods. The International Phenological Garden (IPG) network, begun in 1959 and still functioning 60 years later, has been no exception. Here we document its history, its monitored 23 species (initially all propagated by cloning), and the locations and years of data contri...
The typification of Australasian Plagiochila species (Plagiochilaceae: Jungermanniidae): a review with recommendationsNARA Subscribed
Plagiochila is the most diverse genus of liverwort by number of described species, with 1600 validly published names. The typification and application of names within the context of such nomenclatural diversity is therefore critical. Typification statements made over five decades of revisionary study for 95 validly published species names, and two varieties, in Australasian Plagiochilaceae are reviewed with reference to the In...
The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase is regarded as the primary toxic mechanism of action for chemical warfare agents. Recently, there have been numerous reports suggesting that metabolic processes could significantly contribute to toxicity. As such, we applied a multi-omics pipeline to generate a detailed cascade of molecular events temporally occurring in guinea pigs exposed to VX. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling resul...
