Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmonNARA Subscribed
Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g., juvenile development). Consequently, phenological studies often cannot discern whethe...
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...
Paleomagnetism relies4 on stable remanent magnetizations held in rocks to reconstruct the ancient geomagnetic field direction and intensity. However, rocks may carry secondary overprints that obscure or completely destroy the original signal. To study the stability of the magnetic vector(s), laboratories routinely apply static alternating field demagnetization along three orthogonal axes (AFD₃), which is fast, non-destructive,...
Non-Tensorial Anhysteretic Remanent Anisotropy and the Detection of Composite FabricsNARA Subscribed
The anisotropy of anhysteretic remanent magnetization (AARM) provides a powerful, nondestructive means of assessing magnetic fabrics. It is widely applied to infer strain and emplacement conditions in sedimentary, volcanic, and intrusive rocks. AARM is generally represented by a symmetric second-rank tensor describing its orientation, strength, and shape. AARM, however, departs from a tensorial shape when the number of grains...
Crown Exposure Regulates Aboveground Wood Productivity Responses to Soil Fertility in Lowland Tropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Understanding the drivers of aboveground wood productivity (AWP) in tropical forests is crucial for explaining ecosystem functioning and predicting their responses to environmental change. While climatic water availability is a well‐established driver, the role of soil nutrients and their interaction with other resources remains uncertain. We investigated how soil nutrients and light interactions shape AWP in lowland tropical...
Population responses of Chinook salmon to two decades of restoration of estuary nursery habitatOA Marine
Estuaries comprise important but often-degraded fish nursery habitat. People have invested considerable resources into restoring estuaries to rehabilitate habitats, but comparatively little work has evaluated population outcomes for target species. Here, we examined the response of a threatened population of Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) to estuary restoration in their natal tidal delta, and observed demographic...
