Excessive copper (Cu) absorption in calves may increase the risk of excessive hepatic Cu accumulation, likely driven by their elevated pre-ruminant absorptive capacity, with the potential for harmful Cu accumulation leading to adverse health and productivity outcomes. However, quantitative data across the weaning transition remains limited. This study utilized secondary data and bio-banked samples from 35 Holstein–Friesian bul...

Individual imaging and fluid biomarkers provide insights into specific components of brain health, but integrated multimodal approaches are necessary to capture the complex, interrelated biological systems that contribute to brain homeostasis and neurodegenerative disease. Using data from the Brain and Cognitive Health (BACH) cohort study ( N = 127; mean age = 67 years, 68% women), we performed an exploratory factor analysis t...

Anthropogenic pressure is increasing the variety and frequency of environmental disturbance events, limiting recovery and leading to long‐term declines in wild plant and animal populations. Coral reefs and associated fish assemblages are inherently dynamic due to their susceptibility to a host of disturbances, but regional‐scale nuances in the drivers of long‐term change frequently remain poorly resolved. Here, we examine the...

Summary The bacterioplankton diversity in large rivers has thus far been under‐sampled despite the importance of streams and rivers as components of continental landscapes. Here, we present a comprehensive dataset detailing the bacterioplankton diversity along the midstream of the D anube River and its tributaries. Using 16 S rRNA ‐gene amplicon sequencing, our analysis revealed that bacterial richness and evenness gradually d...

Aim Tropical forests store 25% of global carbon and harbour 96% of the world's tree species, but it is not clear whether this high biodiversity matters for carbon storage. Few studies have teased apart the relative importance of forest attributes and environmental drivers for ecosystem functioning, and no such study exists for the tropics. Location Neotropics. Methods We relate aboveground biomass ( AGB ) to forest attributes...

The seasonal and geographical patterns of spawning for Georges Bank cod ( Gadus morhua ) and haddock ( Melanogrammus aeglefinus ) are estimated using composite distributions of stage I eggs derived from the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) data set (1977–1987). The inferred mean spawning locations are compared with patterns in particle residence times derived from a three‐dimensional prognostic c...
