Along the Benthic to Holoplanktonic Continuum: Seafloor Affinity Increases Distance‐Decay Rates Among Abyssal CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat continuum by comparing geographic ranges and rates of community dissimilarity across th...
Bacteria are fundamental to coral health and resilience, though a dearth of knowledge exists on the formation of the coral microbiome in early life history stages. Although this initial microbial consortium is thought to hold key roles throughout development, its sparsity is easily obscured by environmental background microbiota. This opacity renders accurate studies of the early coral microbiome difficult, and limits applicat...
Relative importance of climate versus socio-environmental development changes to 2050 in rural coastal Bangladesh—a system analysisNARA Subscribed
Climate change and development are having a profound influence on the integrity of coastal Bangladesh’s people, economy and ecology with climate change widely considered the dominant driver. Our bespoke integrated assessment model (IAM) simulates these changes for rural areas by coupling physical models with economic models, considering shocks like cyclone landfalls, and utilising substantial primary/secondary datasets and sta...
The temperature‐size rule states that species living in warmer temperatures will grow faster and mature earlier at smaller sizes. While several studies have documented patterns in average body size consistent with the temperature‐size rule in wild populations, a comprehensive test is lacking. Here, we use age and length data of 1.4 million fish across 7 species from 2704 lakes to quantify temperature‐related variation in growt...
Peripheral inflammation mediates the relationship between early life stress and alcohol useNARA Subscribed
Rationale Early life stress (ELS) is associated with an increased risk for alcohol consumption and development of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Inflammation may be a sex-dependent link between ELS and alcohol use; however, there is limited evidence to support such an association in individuals with AUD. Methods This secondary analysis utilized cross-sectional mediation to investigate the role of peripheral inflammation in the re...
NCBI Orthologs: Public Resource and Scalable Method for Computing High-Precision Orthologs Across Eukaryotic GenomesNARA Subscribed
Orthologs are fundamental for enabling comparative genomics analyses that further our understanding of eukaryotic biology. The unprecedented increase in the availability of high-quality eukaryotic genomes necessitates scalable and accurate methods for orthology inference. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) developed “NCBI Orthologs”, a resource and a computational pipeline designed to meet this challenge...
Terrigenous inputs link nutrient dynamics to microbial communities in a tropical lagoonNARA Subscribed
Nutrient availability drives community structure and ecosystem processes, especially in tropical lagoons that are typically oligotrophic but often receive allochthonous inputs from land. Terrestrially derived nutrients are introduced to tropical lagoons by surface runoff and submarine groundwater discharge, which are influenced by seasonal precipitation. However, terrigenous inputs presumably diminish along the onshore–offshor...
The abyssal benthic boundary layer (BBL) community relies on pelagic organic matter (OM) export, yet community dynamics under changing surface productivity remain poorly understood. Here, we describe temporal variability within the BBL zooplankton community, focusing on benthopelagic adults and meroplanktonic larvae at a site with seasonal OM flux. We test the hypothesis that BBL community composition, richness, and structure...
The effect of enhanced glycolysis on cardiac agingNARA Subscribed
Cardiac aging is associated with metabolic changes, including an increased reliance on glycolysis, and an increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases. This study explores the relationship between enhanced cardiac glycolysis and aging using the Glyco Hi mouse model, characterized by constitutively elevated glycolysis. We compared cardiac function, metabolism, mitochondrial performance, and hallmarks of aging between age...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
