Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing and managing SPF. In response to these challenges, an international working group was f...
Does Karyotype Structure Co‐Occurrence Patterns in a Chromosomally Diverse and Species‐Rich Clade of Lizards (Genus Sceloporus )?NARA Subscribed
Aim We investigated the biogeographic consequences of chromosomal speciation, or structural changes in chromosome arrangement that lead to reproductive isolation, an intriguing speciation mechanism with implications for the phylogenetic and geographic distribution of species and chromosomal diversity. Location. North and Central America. Taxa. A species‐rich and chromosomally diverse clade of lizards in the genus Sceloporus wh...
Purpose Quantitative T2 mapping is an important MRI method for assessing degenerative changes in articular cartilage. Recently, in a measurement setup with automated sample re-orientation, it was demonstrated that T2 can be split into its orientation-independent components. This quantitative MRI study aims to assess the diagnostic significance of the automated approach with ex vivo human cartilage. Methods T2 maps of 30 human...
The Response and Recovery of Carbon and Water Fluxes in Australian Ecosystems Exposed to Severe DroughtNARA Subscribed
Climate change‐driven increases in drought risk pose a critical threat to global carbon and water cycles. However, ecosystem‐scale responses remain poorly quantified, particularly for severe, multiyear drought events. We addressed this gap by examining ecosystem‐scale carbon and water flux sensitivity to the extreme 2018–19 drought in Australia using data from 14 eddy covariance flux sites. The ecosystems span grasslands and s...
Small Pelagic Fish (SPF) exhibit large fluctuations in abundance and distribution in response to environmental variability. To maintain the resilience of fishing communities and develop effective and equitable climate adaptation strategies, improved understanding of how the fishing industry responds to spatio-temporal shifts within and across SPF populations is of critical importance. In this paper, we examine the responses of...
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...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Metastatic disease results from the dissemination of tumor cells beyond their organ of origin to grow in distant organs and is the primary cause of death in patients with advanced breast cancer. Preclinical murine models in which primary tumors spontaneously metastasize are valuable tools for studying metastatic progression and novel cancer treatment combinations. Here, we characterize a novel syngeneic murine breast tumor cel...
