Development of a Community-engaged Research Training Workshop for Clinician-Scientists and Early-stage InvestigatorsNARA Subscribed
Community-engaged research (CEnR), a collaboration between academics and community partners, is an effective approach in addressing the social drivers of health (SDOH) and health disparities in local communities. Yet, CEnR training is often not a standard component of training programs in research or clinical programs. To meet the need for CEnR training, we developed and implemented a workshop to increase CEnR knowledge and sk...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
We evaluated the hypothesis that social play behavior influences the development of temperament in young animals, using docility as a measure of temperament. We observed the play behavior of juvenile Belding’s ground squirrels ( Urocitellus beldingi ) during the developmental period in which play primarily occurs and conducted behavioral tests measuring docility at the beginning and toward the end of the play interval. Tests i...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community‐led open‐source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal...
Jaguar movement database: a GPS‐based movement dataset of an apex predator in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The field of movement ecology has rapidly grown during the last decade, with important advancements in tracking devices and analytical tools that have provided unprecedented insights into where, when, and why species move across a landscape. Although there has been an increasing emphasis on making animal movement data publicly available, there has also been a conspicuous dearth in the availability of such data on large carnivo...
Aim The loss of dispersal on islands hypothesis ( LDIH ) posits that wind‐dispersed plants should exhibit reduced dispersal potential, particularly if island populations are old. In this study, we tested this hypothesis using a detailed phylogeographical framework across different geographical scales. Location Mainland and island areas of the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, including Macaronesia (Canary Islands and Cape Ve...
Guillain–Barré syndrome in Colombia: where do we stand now?NARA Subscribed
Aim We developed a set of statistical models to improve spatial estimates of mangrove aboveground biomass ( AGB ) based on the environmental signature hypothesis ( ESH ). We hypothesized that higher tidal amplitudes, river discharge, temperature, direct rainfall and decreased potential evapotranspiration explain observed high mangrove AGB . Location Neotropics and a small portion of the N earctic region. Methods A universal fo...
