Freshwater mollusk shells serve as valuable archives for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions as they record water temperatures in their stable isotopic compositions during biomineralization. Yet, the impact of food availability on these isotopic records has never been fully explored. This study addresses that gap by investigating the effects of both temperature and food regime on the stable carbon (δ 13 C) and...
Acoustic telemetry is a powerful tool for understanding spatial and temporal fish movements in complex freshwater systems but determining appropriate sample sizes for measuring individual variability in movement metrics is challenging. Here, the movements of 170 common bream Abramis brama were measured over two years in the highly connected River Bure wetland system, eastern England. Analyses of seasonal and spatial movement p...
Expanding insights into plant rhabdovirus diversity through the discovery of viruses representing 32 putative novel speciesNARA Subscribed
Plant-infecting rhabdoviruses (family Rhabdoviridae , subfamily Betarhabdovirinae ) include several viruses that cause important crop diseases and are subject to phytosanitary regulation. Despite their agricultural and ecological importance, the diversity of plant rhabdoviruses and their impact on plant health remain poorly understood. Here, we report 32 tentative novel species of plant-infecting rhabdoviruses, identified via...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health challenge, and wildlife has increasingly been recognized as an important sentinel for monitoring the environmental circulation of clinically relevant resistant bacteria. In this study, we report the phenotypic, genomic, and phylogenomic characterization of a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate recovered from a free-ranging wild porcupine ( Coendou s...
It is well known that significant amounts of radioxenon radionuclides are released from Medical Isotope Production Facilities and to a lesser extent from Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). These emissions cause a background in the atmosphere that is often detected by noble gas systems of the International Monitoring System (IMS) operated by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission for nuclear expl...
Ongoing bioinvasions of Lessepsian species via the Suez Canal have profoundly altered marine coastal ecosystems in the eastern Mediterranean. In response to these Lessepsian migrations, some indigenous fishes have been observed to have widened their trophic niches and diversified their foraging strategies. Effects of invasive taxa are further compounded by modern anthropogenic drivers such as overfishing, habitat degradation,...
Seasonal and spatial transitions in phytoplankton assemblages spanning estuarine to open ocean waters of the tropical PacificNARA Subscribed
Islands in the tropical Pacific supply elevated nutrients to nearshore waters that enhance phytoplankton biomass and create hotspots of productivity in otherwise nutrient‐poor oceans. Despite the importance of these hotspots in supporting nearshore food webs, the spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton enhancement and changes in the underlying phytoplankton communities across nearshore to open ocean systems remain po...
