Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability and conservation priority areas for functional groups of soil fungi based on six global surveys using a high‐resolution, long‐read metabarcoding...
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...
Effective data management plays a key role in oceanographic research as cruise-based data, collected from different laboratories and expeditions, are commonly compiled to investigate regional to global oceanographic processes. Here we describe new and updated best practice data standards for discrete chemical oceanographic observations, specifically those dealing with column header abbreviations, quality control flags, missing...
The global burden of mortality and morbidity caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) is significant, and the heterogeneity of TBI patients and the relatively small sample sizes of most current neuroimaging studies is a major challenge for scientific advances and clinical translation. The ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Adult moderate/severe TBI (AMS-TBI) working group aims to be a driving force fo...
Assessing uncertainties in crop and pasture ensemble model simulations of productivity and N 2 O emissionsNARA Subscribed
Simulation models are extensively used to predict agricultural productivity and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the uncertainties of (reduced) model ensemble simulations have not been assessed systematically for variables affecting food security and climate change mitigation, within multi‐species agricultural contexts. We report an international model comparison and benchmarking exercise, showing the potential of multi‐mode...
Methanogenic potential of Arctic and Antarctic subglacial environments with contrasting organic carbon sourcesNARA Subscribed
Subglacial environments are largely anoxic, contain organic carbon ( OC ) overridden by glacier ice during periods of advance, and harbour active microbial communities. This creates favourable conditions for OC degradation via methanogenesis. It has been hypothesized that OC beneath ice sheets is converted to methane ( CH 4 ) and may be released to the atmosphere during retreat. However, there are limited data available to sup...
Ecological Implications of Changes in the Arctic CryosphereNARA Subscribed
Screen temperatures were monitored from May 2001 to April 2003 in an array of 25 sites on the Prince of Wales Icefield, Ellesmere Island, Canada. The observational network covered an area of ca 15 650 km 2 and spanned an altitude ranging from 130 to 2010 m above sea level. The spatial array provides a record of near‐surface‐temperature lapse rates and mesoscale temperature variability on the icefield. The mean daily lapse rate...
The fluxes of several organochlorine compounds (OCs) to and from a high‐altitude lake were calculated to determine the relative contributions of rainfall, snowfall, runoff, gas absorption and volatilization, sedimentation, and outflow. Runoff inputs, particularly from a glaciated catchment, and gas absorption were major sources of many OCs. Losses by volatilization, outflow, and sedimentation were also important transport path...
