Full‐year in situ imaging reveals fine‐scale habitat differences among salp and doliolid life stagesNARA Subscribed
Doliolids and salps are pelagic tunicates that reproduce both asexually and sexually during their life history, occasionally forming massive blooms (> 1000 ind. m −3 ) that can clear large volumes of water daily. Although blooms of doliolids and salps are often associated with pulses of primary productivity, little is understood about their life history dynamics in response to the full range of oceanographic conditions they en...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor 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 speci...
Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two MillenniaNARA Subscribed
Tropical peatland wildfire incidence has risen in recent decades, driven by drainage for land use and intensified by severe droughts with global climate change. These disturbances have altered vegetation structure, disrupted ecosystem functioning, and increased carbon emissions, particularly in Southeast Asia. However, the long‐term history and characteristics of wildfires in tropical peatlands remain largely unknown. Here, we...
Resource pulses are infrequent, ephemeral events of resource hyperabundance that can represent important feeding opportunities for consumers. To capitalize on pulsed resources, consumers can exhibit behavioural and physiological traits including binge‐feeding and phenotypic plasticity of digestive physiology, although expression of these traits has not been observed simultaneously. Further, past studies of binge‐feeding have l...
Modeling Ringed and Bearded Seal Future Habitats Indicates Stability, Shifts, and RefugiaNARA Subscribed
Understanding how marine habitats are changing with a warming Arctic is essential for conservation, management, and adaptation strategies bearing tangible consequences for Arctic communities and ecosystems. Ringed seals and bearded seals rely on specific ice and snow conditions to support critical life history events affecting survival and reproduction. Here, we develop a panarctic habitat suitability model linking life events...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Prostate Cancer Survivorship and Advocacy Among Ethnically Diverse Black Men Through Community Town HallsNARA Subscribed
We present findings from town hall meetings held with ethnically diverse Black prostate cancer (CaP) survivors in 2022 and 2023. Four town halls (total participants, N = 265) focused on diagnosis, treatment, psychosocial support, and overall survivorship. Moderated by a long-term CaP survivor, each session featured a panel that included medical providers (urologic oncologists and clinical psychologists), as well as CaP survivo...
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs: 30–150 m) are characterized by environmental conditions and biological assemblages that are distinct from those of shallow reefs (< 30 m). Several studies have described changes in species richness, abundance and composition of reef fish assemblages, from shallow reefs to MCEs; however, few have considered how different functional groups change over the same gradient. Here, remotely operated...
