Welfare Indicators for Aquaculture Research: Toolboxes for Five Farmed European Fish SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Refining approaches to measuring, monitoring and appraising animal welfare in aquaculture research is key to (i) protecting and optimizing it, (ii) documenting the severity of how and when it deviates, and (iii) ensuring good scientific quality, reliable results and reproducibility, amongst other factors. However, different fish species and life stages can have varying welfare needs and assessing their welfare can be challengi...
The Cost of Antivenom: A Cost Minimization Study using the North American Snakebite RegistryNARA Subscribed
Envenomation is a global health issue, with over 9,000 encounters managed in the United States yearly. The introduction of immunoglobulin fragment antivenom has reduced the risk of hypersensitivity. This study compares treatment costs of crotaline envenomation using the Fab and F(ab’) 2 antivenoms as reported to the North American Snakebite Registry (NASBR), a nationwide surveillance tool. Methods This was a retrospective anal...
Click beetles (Elateridae) identify conservation units in Oriental and European beech forestsNARA Subscribed
Beech trees form major parts of lowland temperate forests in the Western Palearctic. To protect biodiversity, many beech forests have been designated as World Heritage Sites or established as networks of beech forest reserves. However, the insect communities within these protected forests have not been well explored. In this study, elaterids (Elateridae, Coleoptera) in 26 beech forests, from France in the west to Iran in the e...

Geographic distribution of the Cross Seamount beaked whale based on acoustic detectionsNARA Subscribed
Beaked whales produce frequency‐modulated echolocation pulses that appear to be species‐specific, allowing passive acoustic monitoring to play a role in understanding spatio‐temporal patterns. The Cross Seamount beaked whale is known only from its unique echolocation signal (BWC) with no confirmed species identification. This beaked whale spans the Pacific Ocean from the Mariana Archipelago to Baja California, Mexico, south to...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2022 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Beaked whale foraging pulses were detected on the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) off Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi, via long term passive acoustic monitoring. The unidentified pulses do not match foraging pulses of known species on the range but are similar to the unidentified beaked whale first detected at Cross Seamount, Hawaiʻi. Although there has not been a visual confirmation of the unidentified beaked whale species, analysis of...
Side-of-Implantation Effect on Functional Asymmetry in the Auditory Cortex of Single-Sided Deaf Cochlear-Implant UsersNARA Subscribed
Cochlear implants (CIs) allow to restore the hearing function in profoundly deaf individuals. Due to the degradation of the stimulus by CI signal processing, implanted individuals with single-sided deafness (SSD) have the specific challenge that the input highly differs between their ears. The present study compared normal-hearing (NH) listeners (N = 10) and left- and right-ear implanted SSD CI users (N = 10 left, N = 9 right)...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Neuroinflammation within the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the spinal cord induces inflammatory pain with symptoms of hyperalgesia and allodynia. Glial activation and production of inflammatory mediators (e.g. cytokines) is associated with modulation of nociceptive signalling. In this context, medicinal signalling cells, e.g. obtained from adipose tissue (AdMSCs), gained attention due to their capacity to modulate the infla...
From tree to architecture: how functional morphology of arborescence connects plant biology, evolution and physicsNARA Subscribed
Trees are the fundamental element of forest ecosystems, made possible by their mechanical qualities and their highly sophisticated conductive tissues. The evolution of trees, and thereby the evolution of forests, were ecologically transformative and affected climate and biogeochemical cycles fundamentally. Trees also offer a substantial amount of ecological niches for other organisms, such as epiphytes, creating a vast amount...
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...
Comparing temperature data sources for use in species distribution models: From in‐situ logging to remote sensingNARA Subscribed
Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms might instead be driven by temperatures more proximal to their habitats. Several solutions are currently available, such as downscaled or interpolated coarse‐grained free‐air temperatures, satellite‐measured land surface temperatures (LST) or in‐...
