C57BL/6N mutation in cytoplasmic FMRP interacting protein 2 regulates nicotine reward in the conditioned place preference testNARA Subscribed
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Among the factors that contribute to tobacco initiation, use, and dependence, genetics may exert a strong influence. In mouse models, genetic differences between strains have been studied to investigate the potential drivers for these states. Previous reports indicate that C57BL/6 J (B6J) and C57BL/6N (B6N) mouse substrains show varying behavioral resp...
Diagnosing Linearity Along the Carbon Cascade in Terrestrial Biosphere Models and ObservationsNARA Subscribed
Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) acts as a fertiliser for photosynthesis, driving an increase in gross primary production (GPP). However, it is unclear how effectively increased GPP propagates along the ‘carbon (C) cascade’ to increase net primary production (NPP) and vegetation C stocks ( C veg ) in different plant compartments. Vegetation models were criticised for being overly sensitive to photosynthesis (source‐driven), ne...
Behavioral variation across multiple phases of intravenous cocaine self-administration among genetically diverse mouse populationsNARA Subscribed
Genetic and other predisposing factors can influence the progression from initiation of drug intake to compulsive substance use through distinct biobehavioral processes. Operant cocaine self-administration studies in laboratory mice offer a powerful method to dissect the biology of this progression from initiation, dose-response, extinction, and cued reinstatement in a controlled, tractable system. However, many such studies e...
Canada's Forests Are Shifting From a Recovery‐Driven Carbon Sink to a Disturbance‐Driven Carbon SourceNARA Subscribed
Canada's terrestrial ecosystems are critical to the global carbon cycle and are responding to unprecedented climate change and wildfire disturbance. However, our understanding of Canada's historical (~1920—present) carbon cycle is incomplete. There are also no published physically coherent (i.e., those that respect conservation laws) wall‐to‐wall estimates of all major carbon pools and fluxes for Canada. Existing assessments v...
Electrochemically induced alkalinity enhancement increases coral growth rates in the local microenvironmentNARA Subscribed
Coral reef ecosystem health is rapidly declining worldwide. Restoration strategies such as propagation and outplanting aim to recover reef function but can be hindered by slow growth rates that limit scalability, necessitating technologies that accelerate growth to match the scale of reef degradation. Electrochemically induced alkalinity enhancement (eAE) offers a promising approach to locally enhance carbonate chemistry and f...
