Combined family-based association and linkage analyses in families affected by attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderNARA Subscribed
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent and heritable of neurodevelopmental disorders. To characterize the genetic variants contributing to this heritability, we studied families with members affected by ADHD. Genome-wide array data were obtained on two cohorts: NHGRI Family Cohort (359 nuclear families,1538 individuals) and NCR Family Cohort (25 multigenerational and 132 nuclear families,...
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused unprecedented coral mortality across Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) since 2014, raising concerns about whether coral restoration can succeed under chronic disease conditions and whether outplanting activities may increase disease transmission risk. As the disease transitioned from epizootic outbreak to enzootic persistence, we conducted a large-scale experimental outplanting to as...
Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs WorldwideNARA Subscribed
Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we analyzed 1921 soil samples from 33 countries worldwide across diverse biomes to assess how climate gradients and agricultural inputs, including pesticides and fertilizers, shape prokaryotic and fungal communities. We found that micro...
Coral larvae have unique transcriptomic responses to pathogenic and probiotic bacteriaNARA Subscribed
The growing prevalence of coral disease and other stressors threatens coral reefs, and evidence suggests these stressors not only affect adult corals but may also have impacts on early life stages. Yet, our understanding of coral larval physiology, including immunological function, is significantly limited. Here, we leverage the temperate coral experimental system Astrangia poculata to investigate the transcript-level response...
Role of freshwater availability and terrestrial land‐cover change in the distribution of a declining, terrestrial, insectivorous birdNARA Subscribed
Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective. We used the spotted flycatcher ( Muscicapa striata ), a declining, Afro‐Palearctic, migratory insectivore a...
Ocean dissolved oxygen (O2) is an essential climate variable crucial for sustaining the marine life; thus, changes of O2 at various spatiotemporal scales should be quantified and understood. Here, we study the climatology and annual cycle of O2 at regional to global scales using eight available gridded observational products. These datasets are generated by different groups using different primary data selection, quality contr...
In many settings, head and neck cancer (HNC) services are centralized in large hospitals, meaning that community input from HNC specialists can be lacking. Community healthcare professionals often require laryngectomy-specific education and training to provide optimal care to people at home. However, laryngectomy-specific education/training is often sporadic and varies between centres, making it difficult to achieve standardis...
Cross-system transfer of fatty acids from aquatic insects supports terrestrial insectivore condition and reproductive successNARA Subscribed
Cross-system fluxes of aquatic insects rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 LC-PUFAs), specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may subsidise insectivorous vertebrates that are suffering due to terrestrial insect declines. The benefits of high ω-3 LC-PUFA diets, such as improved growth and immunocompetence, have previously been demonstrated for riparian insectivores. Under...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Random and systematic uncertainty in ship‐based seawater carbonate chemistry observationsNARA Subscribed
Seawater carbonate chemistry observations are increasingly necessary to study a broad array of oceanographic challenges such as ocean acidification, carbon inventory tracking, and assessment of marine carbon dioxide removal strategies. The uncertainty in a seawater carbonate chemistry observation comes from unknown random variations and systematic offsets. Here, we estimate the magnitudes of these random and systematic compone...
