Interplay between colorectal cancer-related lifestyles and the gut microbiome: an exploratory analysis of metagenomic dataNARA Subscribed
Purpose The gut microbiome may modify the associations between lifestyle factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but their complex interplay, including the interactions between lifestyle factors, remain underexplored. We examined associations between CRC-related lifestyle patterns and gut microbiome diversity and composition in Finnish adults. Methods Our data included 1,228 adults aged 25–64 years from the National FINRISK/...
Lactic acid bacteria isolated from mammalian feces exhibit distinct diversity and probiotic traitsNARA Subscribed
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an essential role in mammalian gut health and are promising candidates for probiotic use. In this study, we have identified LAB isolated from fecal samples of bats, calves, cats, or piglets or from the vaginal mucosa or teat skin of a lactating sow. Specifically, we identified 98 lineages belonging to the phyla Bacillota, Pseudomonadota, or Actinomycetota. Enterococcus faecalis was the only spec...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Availability and mobilization of forest resources in SwedenNARA Subscribed
The available amount of wood supply is essential for national strategic planning and evaluation of forestry in Sweden. Since Sweden holds a large part of the forests in the European Union and plays a significant role in the global trade of wood-based products, a precise estimate of the potential of the Swedish forest resource is also important in regional and global outlook studies. In this study, we analyse factors influencin...
Are birdwatchers willing to participate in local goose management? A case study from SwedenNARA Subscribed
Stakeholder involvement in wildlife management is important and requires knowledge about factors motivating such participation. With several goose populations increasing in Europe and goose management incorporating multiple objectives, involvement of stakeholder groups with diverse interests is needed. In this study, we examined how evaluations of geese (attitude and acceptance capacity), but also experiences of birdwatching a...
Collaborative behaviour and coalitions in male jaguars (Panthera onca)—evidence and comparison with other felidsNARA Subscribed
Most large felids are classified as solitary species, with only lions ( Panthera leo ) and cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ) exhibiting social, collaborative behaviours. Herein, we present evidence of the formation of male coalitions by jaguars ( Panthera onca ), based on data from five studies conducted with camera trapping, GPS telemetry, and direct observations in the Venezuelan Llanos and Brazilian Pantanal. Out of 7062 male r...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
The activities and emissions from leisure boats in the Baltic Sea have been modeled in a comprehensive approach for the first time, using a new simulation model leisure Boat Emissions and Activities siMulator (BEAM). The model utilizes survey data to characterize the national leisure boat fleets. Leisure boats have been categorized based on their size, use and engine specifications, and for these subcategories emission factors...
