An ethogram for the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) with insights into foraging plasticityNARA Subscribed
Whale sharks ( Rhincodon typus ) are large filter-feeders that reside in oligotrophic tropical waters. The feeding behaviours that enable these sharks to survive in such nutrient poor environments are not well understood beyond the surface. Here, we develop a species ethogram and synthesise foraging behaviours by combining observations reported in the literature (106 articles) with data collected by animal-borne cameras (22.5...
Equestrian STAR: Development of an Experimental Methodology for Assessing the Biomechanical Performance of Equestrian HelmetsNARA Subscribed
Purpose The current equestrian helmet standards set minimal requirements for passing helmets, highlighting the need for a rating system that differentiates helmets based on their impact performance. This study’s objectives were to compare equestrian helmet impact response kinematics between linear-driven and oblique impact conditions and then to evaluate the effect of incorporating oblique drop tests into a previously establis...
Community perception and stewardship of public coastal infrastructure in Cedar Key, FloridaOA Marine
This study contributes to empirical evidence about how local communities may perceive and steward nature-based coastal infrastructure developed in the public realm to enhance coastal resilience. Coastal communities increasingly face flood risks driven by chronic erosion, habitat degradation, and climate change. Nature-based coastal infrastructure-such as living shorelines-offers promise for hazard mitigation, resilience, and c...
A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)NARA Subscribed
1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave. Judged by the recorded distribution of finds it may have entered via the Northeast Gallery. A previously unrecorded entra...
The migratory behavior of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) post‐smolts in coastal waters is poorly understood. In this collaborative study, 1914 smolts, from 25 rivers, in four countries were tagged with acoustic transmitters during a single seasonal migration. In total, 1105 post‐smolts entered the marine study areas and 438 (39.6%) were detected on a network of 414 marine acoustic receivers and an autonomous underwater vehicl...
Very little is known about the reproductive behaviours of whale sharks ( Rhincodon typus ). Here, we describe field observations of courtship behaviour by a whale shark at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. We witnessed and recorded following and biting behaviours by a sexually mature male of a smaller female. Following and biting are common events during courtship and copulation of other species of elasmobranchs. Our observati...
A community-driven effort in Cedar Key, Florida, USA, resulted in the construction of three living shoreline retrofits intended to bolster failing coastal infrastructure and restore habitat functions in Daughtry Bayou. A multi-year monitoring program tracked changes in elevation and vegetation communities across the entire shoreline profile from lower-intertidal to upland/transitional zones and measured wave attenuation during...
Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
Additive manufacturing of patient specific bolus for radiotherapy: large scale production and quality assuranceNARA Subscribed
Bolus is commonly used to improve dose distributions in radiotherapy in particular if dose to skin must be optimised such as in breast or head and neck cancer. We are documenting four years of experience with 3D printed bolus at a large cancer centre. In addition to this we review the quality assurance (QA) program developed to support it. More than 2000 boluses were produced between Nov 2018 and Feb 2023 using fused depositio...
Natural shorelines provide ecosystem services that are integral to maintaining healthy and resilient coastal ecosystems and communities. However, anthropogenic and environmental stressors are reducing the extent of natural shorelines, and thus, their capacity to provide critical ecosystem services. Unfortunately, the most common shoreline management strategies involve hardened structures (e.g., bulkheads and seawalls) that are...
Baitfishes may aggregate around megafauna such as whale sharks ( Rhincodon typus ) to gain protection from larger predatory fishes. Here, we used videos from deployments of animal-borne cameras on whale sharks and provided by tourism operators at Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia to document large schools of trevally ( Carangidae spp.) consuming entire schools of baitfishes ( Carangidae spp.) swimming with whale sharks within...
