Parallel volcanic chains generated by plume-slab interactionNARA Subscribed
Marine oil spill management requires rapid and accurate forecasts to mitigate environmental and operational risks. Created in 2002 during the Prestige spill and formally established in 2006, the French Drift Committee (CODER) unites expertise from CEDRE, Météo-France, Ifremer and Shom to refine oil drift modeling and response strategies. CODER’s operational scope combines multi-model forecasting, including MOTHY and OILMAP, in...
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and...
Growth and erosion of volcanic islands since 1963 analyzed by multi-sensor satellite data and historical recordsNARA Subscribed
Most volcanic activity is taking place in the oceans. Depending on water depth, eruption recurrence times and volumes, a new island can form. The power of erosional forces, the type of erupted material and the efficiency of secondary processes determine the island’s lifetime. Since the famous eruption of Surtsey (Iceland) in 1963, at least another 23 volcanic islands have appeared. Some islands remained intact for years or dec...
Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practiceNARA Subscribed
Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation. Funders of conservation projects are uniquely positioned to support and incentivize such tests as part of...
Chronological age is a common and non-modifiable factor for chronic disease, but does not fully explain age-related changes. Biological clocks have been developed to explore biological aging mechanisms. They could help identify protective factors against accelerated aging and associated diseases. We aim to assess the association between reduced epigenetic or inflammatory aging and ideal cardiovascular health or cardiovascular...
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...
