Age, growth and sexual dimorphism of the monkeyface prickleback ( Cebidichthys violaceus )NARA Subscribed
Accurate estimates of age, growth and maturation are fundamental to fisheries assessment, conservation and the development of emerging aquaculture species. However, life‐history parameters can vary within species and may be influenced by factors such as sexual dimorphism, which is often poorly quantified in non‐commercial or understudied species. The monkeyface prickleback ( Cebidichthys violaceus ), one of the largest herbivo...
Skeletal muscle strength is multifactorial. Although associated, skeletal muscle size and strength often change disproportionately following resistance training with different loading paradigms. Examining strength relative to muscle size has been used to evaluate the potential contribution of muscle growth or other factors (e.g., neural or intramuscular adaptations) that occur with strength changes. Moreover, as muscle size co...
A quantitative comparison of tools for monitoring the abundance of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral coverNARA Subscribed
Effective monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations and coral cover is critical for informing management of COTS outbreaks throughout their tropical Indo-Pacific range, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However, existing monitoring tools such as manta tow and cull diver surveys have well-known limitations including accuracy and resource demands. This study evaluates a range of monitoring tools for asses...
Poorly differentiated sarcoma in the axilla of a guinea pigNARA Subscribed
Bottom‐tow gear fisheries (trawls and dredges) produce ~24 million mt of harvest annually, representing a globally important animal‐sourced food system. While many are currently sustainably managed, growing concern over the potential for ecosystem impacts from bottom‐tow gears has increased pressure to improve these fisheries. We assembled an international working group of > 30 contributors, including fishing industry particip...
The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
Purpose The DANFLU-1 trial suggested lower incidence of hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza, respiratory disease and all-cause mortality among older adults receiving high-dose (HD-IV) versus standard-dose (SD-IV) influenza vaccine. This study assessed the relative effectiveness of HD-IV versus SD-IV according to comorbidity in elderly individuals. Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of the DANFLU-1 randomized control...
