Integrating in‐situ (wild) and ex‐situ (captive) conservation efforts can mitigate genetic diversity loss and help prevent extinction of endangered wild populations. The whooping crane ( Grus americana ) experienced severe population declines in the 18th century, culminating in a collapse to ~20 individuals by 1944. Legal protections and conservation actions have since increased the census population from a stock of 16 individ...
Habitat fidelity in hawksbill sea turtlesNARA Subscribed
Climate change is altering habitat suitability and driving shifts in species distributions. To understand potential responses by mobile animals, it is essential to assess levels of plasticity in habitat use, ranging from transience to long‐term fidelity. Here, we evaluate the fidelity of hawksbill sea turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) to habitats used while foraging (our primary focus), migrating, and nesting. After satellite...
An Outbreak of Synthetic Cannabinoid-Adulterated Tianeptine Products in New Jersey – Case SeriesNARA Subscribed
Background Tianeptine, an atypical antidepressant not approved in the United States, is readily purchased from unregulated markets such as the internet and gas stations. We became aware of a cluster of 34 patients in New Jersey who became ill following ingestion of the tianeptine containing-product Neptune’s Fix, the rate of which (4.6 cases per month) far exceeded the background rate for this substance of 0.5 cases per year....
Modelling crop management and environmental effects on the development of Leptosphaeria maculans pseudotheciaNARA Subscribed
The timing of ascospore release is critical in the prediction of blackleg infection, particularly if the timing of spore release coincides with early development of canola seedlings. Historically, prediction models have used average daily temperature and an environment calibration to estimate a minimum rainfall amount to trigger development. This paper describes a different approach based on hydro-thermal time, where soil evap...
Environmental and management determinants of blackleg crown canker disease (Leptosphaeria maculans) of canola (Brassica napus)NARA Subscribed
Blackleg disease ( Leptosphaeria maculans ) impacts canola ( Brassica napus ) productivity worldwide, but the factors driving severity are not well defined. This study characterised blackleg disease progression from leaf lesion appearance to crown canker development. Leaf lesion severity at four crop growth stages and crown canker severity were empirically associated in crops planted at different times. The biotrophic growth r...
Habitat heterogeneity over multiple scales supports dense and diverse megafaunal communities on a northeast Pacific ridgeNARA Subscribed
Marine environments are highly heterogeneous, varying across scales of a few meters to entire ocean basins. Understanding the relationship between environmental variability and species distribution is essential for area‐based management and conservation. However, this requires a precise alignment of seabed mapping with environmental and biological sampling, which is often difficult to achieve in the deep sea. There is thus an...
Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
Purpose Uncertainty exists if post-resistance exercise hydrotherapy attenuates chronic inflammatory and hormone responses. The effects of repeated post-resistance exercise water immersion on inflammatory and hormone responses in athletes were investigated. Methods Male, academy Super Rugby players (n = 18, 19.9 ± 1.5 y, 1.85 ± 0.06 m, 98.3 ± 10.7 kg) participated in a 12-week programme divided into 3 $$\times$$ × 4-week blocks...
