Congener Conflict: Invasive Barred Owl Landscape Use Across the Range of the Northern Spotted OwlNARA Subscribed
Aim To map the probability of landscape use of invading barred owls ( Strix varia ) across the range of the threatened northern spotted owl ( S. Occidentallis Caurina ) in the Pacific Northwest, USA , identifying environmental drivers of barred owl landscape use to inform targeted management interventions. Location Forests of the Pacific Northwest, USA. Taxon Barred Owl ( Strix varia ). Methods We deployed 4081 autonomous reco...
Mariculture Narratives in Climate Change Research and Policy: Alignment, Mismatch, and Opportunities for a Climate‐Resilient IndustryNARA Subscribed
Like other sectors of our global food system, marine aquaculture (mariculture) is threatened by a myriad of stressors resulting from a changing climate. Increasing attention has been given to the impact of these stressors on mariculture across a variety of taxonomies and geographies. Alongside this perspective of mariculture as vulnerable to climate change impacts, another narrative has also emerged framing mariculture as a po...
Resistance exercise training in older men reduces ATF4-activated and senescence-associated mRNAs in skeletal muscleNARA Subscribed
Sarcopenia increases the risk of frailty, morbidity, and mortality in older adults. Resistance exercise training improves muscle size and function; however, the response to exercise training is variable in older adults. The objective of our study was to determine both the age-independent and age-dependent changes to the transcriptome following progressive resistance exercise training. Skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained bef...
Artificial intelligence to improve ischemia prediction in Rubidium Positron Emission Tomography—a validation studyNARA Subscribed
Background Patients are referred to functional coronary artery disease (CAD) testing based on their pre-test probability (PTP) to search for myocardial ischemia. The recommended prediction tools incorporate three variables (symptoms, age, sex) and are easy to use, but have a limited diagnostic accuracy. Hence, a substantial proportion of non-invasive functional tests reveal no myocardial ischemia, leading to unnecessary radiat...
Rationale Compulsivity often develops during childhood and is associated with elevated glutamate levels within the frontostriatal system. This suggests that anti-glutamatergic drugs, like memantine, may be an effective treatment. Objective Our goal was to characterize the acute and chronic effect of memantine treatment on compulsive behavior and frontostriatal network structure and function in an adolescent rat model of compul...
The draft of the Regulation (EC) No 852/2004: food safety culture under new administrationNARA Subscribed
The current draft of Regulation (EC) 852/2004 promotes a food safety culture as a general principle. The various stakeholders evaluate this planned new development quite differently. While this is very welcome from a scientific point of view, there are still considerable objections from stakeholders of the area for implementation and monitoring. The challenge is how to integrate the principles into industry, and to measure and...
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most complex chronic disorders with high prevalence, mainly due to the ageing population and better treatment of underlying diseases. Prevalence will continue to rise and is estimated to reach 3% of the population in Western countries by 2025. It is the most important cause of hospitalisation in subjects aged 65 years or more, resulting in high costs and major social impact. The current “one-si...
Long‐term datasets can be particularly useful for parsing out factors influencing populations, yet few studies have utilized continuous datasets to quantify population dynamics in bivalve molluscs. We used dynamic factor analysis on a clam biomass dataset spanning 28 yr and five distinct regions in the southern Salish Sea to determine (1) if native intertidal clam populations exhibit synchrony and (2) what environmental covari...
Salish Sea Chinook salmon exhibit weaker coherence in early marine survival trends than coastal populationsNARA Subscribed
Identifying factors that influence anadromous Pacific salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) population dynamics is complicated by their diverse life histories and large geographic range. Over the last several decades, Chinook salmon ( O. tshawytscha ) populations from coastal areas and the Salish Sea have exhibited substantial variability in abundance. In some cases, populations within the Salish Sea have experienced persistent declines...
EPMA-World Congress 2015NARA Subscribed
The Columbia River Basin (Basin) is located in the Pacific Northwest, United States. The 370 hydroelectric dams in the Basin provide the Pacific Northwest with many services including hydropower generation, flood control, agricultural irrigation and navigation. The basin also provides habitat for a variety of anadromous and resident fishes and wildlife species. Balancing the energy demands with the needs of fish and wildlife i...
