Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguillaNARA Subscribed
Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths. Non‐lethal tools for accurate sex identification in this species are therefore required. Here,...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Evaluating the palatability of Tasmania’s native sea grapes (Caulerpa spp.): a potential new seafoodNARA Subscribed
We assessed the palatability of four Tasmanian Caulerpa sea grape species: C. geminata , C. hodgkinsoniae , C. sedoides , and C. simpliciuscula , and quantitatively evaluated the palatability profiles of these species with commercially available C. lentillifera . Initial palatability was assessed through a hedonic human sensory evaluation, followed by quantitative instrumental sensory evaluation of tastes and volatile organic...

Scope for growth is optimized across a limited temperature range in an imperiled freshwater musselNARA Subscribed
Predicting effects of rising temperatures on the health and physiology of aquatic organisms is receiving increasing attention, particularly in arid regions with limited freshwater habitat. One approach to estimating energetic health of aquatic ectotherms is scope for growth (SFG)—the net energy available for reproduction and growth after meeting basic maintenance costs. We examined the relationships between temperature, cleara...
