Carbon source and weather in coastal North CarolinaNARA Subscribed
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, including tropical cyclones, is altering the delivery and quality of organic matter (OM) exported from landscapes to estuaries. However, the mechanisms regulating these shifts, especially during multi‐year climatic oscillations, remain poorly understood. We used a new fluorescence–based mixing model to estimate dissolved OM (DOM) sources to the Neuse River Estuary, during a d...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Mapping the landscape of mycological organizations in europe: where citizen science meets professional mycologyNARA Subscribed
Fungi have been used by humans since prehistoric times. Informal structures or groups for knowledge exchange regarding mushrooms and lichens probably existed for ages. Only recently, mycological activities have been structured in formal organizations. And where until a few centuries ago there were only learned societies and naturalists’ clubs, nowadays also mycological societies and citizen scientists have joined the landscape...
Evolutionary History and Rhizosphere Microbial Community Composition in Domesticated Hops ( Humulus lupulus L . )NARA Subscribed
Humulus lupulus L ., commonly known as hop, is a perennial crop grown worldwide and is well known for its pharmacological, commercial, and most importantly brewing applications. For hundreds of years, hop has undergone intense artificial selection, with over 250 cultivated varieties being developed worldwide, all displaying differences in key characteristics such as bitter acid concentrations, flavour and aroma profiles, chang...

The Relationship Between Maturation Size and Maximum Tree Size From Tropical to Boreal ClimatesNARA Subscribed
The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a larger size. Due to the prolonged time required to reach maturity, estimates of tree maturation size remain very rare and we lack a global view on the generality and the shape of this trade‐off. Using seed production from five continents, we estimate tree...
The sounds of a helicopter on MarsNARA Subscribed
Exercise is a cornerstone of preventive medicine and a promising strategy to intervene on the biology of aging. Variation in the response to exercise is a widely accepted concept that dates back to the 1980s with classic genetic studies identifying sequence variations as modifiers of the VO 2 max response to training. Since that time, the literature of exercise response variance has been populated with retrospective analyses o...
The movement ecology of fishesNARA Subscribed
Movement of fishes in the aquatic realm is fundamental to their ecology and survival. Movement can be driven by a variety of biological, physiological and environmental factors occurring across all spatial and temporal scales. The intrinsic capacity of movement to impact fish individually ( e.g. , foraging) with potential knock‐on effects throughout the ecosystem ( e.g. , food web dynamics) has garnered considerable interest i...
