Effect of Lidocaine as an Adjuvant to Clove Essential Oil on Anaesthetic Induction and Recovery in Nile TilapiaNARA Subscribed
Immersion anaesthesia is widely used in fish handling and research, yet optimization of protocols requires not only effective immobilization but also consideration of internal physiological responses. This study evaluated the effects of immersion‐administered lidocaine (60 and 80 mg/L) as an adjuvant to clove essential oil (CEO; 100 μL/L) on anaesthesia induction and recovery in juvenile Oreochromis niloticus under tightly con...
A captive‐reared cohort of Laurel Dace, Chrosomus saylori (Skelton 2001) (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae), a federally‐endangered species endemic to several streams in eastern Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, exhibited signs of morbidity and trickling mortalities in a recirculating aquaculture system. Ziehl‐Neelsen (ZN) staining revealed acid‐fast rod‐shaped bacteria within necrotic and intracellular lesions affecting the eye, swim...
Optimizing water purification with Shungite: a metric approach for characterizing its efficiency in removing contaminantsNARA Subscribed
Shungite is a Precambrian carbon-rich metamorphic rock from the Lake Onega region (Karelia, Russia), consisting of fullerene-like polyhedral carbon within a silicate matrix. Its high carbon content and extended conjugation confer notable sorptive and catalytic behavior. We evaluated its multifunctional potential for water purification targeting organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants. Two grades (Type I, Type III) were...
Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment. We investigated how the traits of putative nurse species affect interaction outcomes across global drylands and determined the fu...
Precipitation and temperature extremes from daily data indexed using the CLIMDEX methodology were calculated over the Central American region. The data comprises the coarsened versions of the Climate Hazards and Infrared Precipitation with stations (CHIRPs) and the corresponding data set for temperature (CHIRTs) from the year 1981 to 2020 and 1983 to 2016, respectively. The objective is to detect trend patterns in extremes in...
Tropical forest succession increases tree taxonomic and functional richness but decreases evennessNARA Subscribed
Aim Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic and functional richness, evenness and redundancy along gradients of climate, soil pH and forest cover. Location Neotropics. Time period Last 0–100 years. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We used 22 forest...
