We have attempted to re-establish bay scallops to the Virginia, U.S.A. coastal bays and document the dynamics of the restoration effort. Bay scallops ( Argopecten irradians ) once flourished in the eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) of the Virginia coastal bays. Eelgrass wasting disease led to declines, and both eelgrass and scallops were completely lost after a 1933 hurricane. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) led a su...
Building better homes for pollinators using native-based landscapes in new suburban developmentsNARA Subscribed
Maintaining healthy pollinator communities is vital for both agricultural and natural ecosystems, but there are many threats to pollinator communities globally. Urbanization is a one of these major threats, but urban green spaces present opportunities for pollinator conservation. The effectiveness of designed urban landscapes in supporting pollinators largely depends upon plant selection and design, and there is an increasing...
Population‐specific bycatch risks in two vulnerable anadromous clupeids: Insights from otolith microchemistryNARA Subscribed
Otolith microchemistry analysis revealed that bycatch of European shads, allis shad Alosa alosa and twaite shad Alosa fallax , in western Iberian commercial fisheries removes individuals from a wide array of natal origins, with the most abundant source rivers suffering the heaviest losses. Spatial variation in bycatch risk was evident: Specific marine areas exhibited high natal origin diversity, reflecting complex dispersal. A...
Lessons learned from applying eDNA surveying to diadromous fish detection across the Northeast Atlantic regionNARA Subscribed
Regular monitoring of diadromous fishes is critical to inform their management and conservation. Yet, the in situ data collection for these species is challenging due to their complex life cycle and low abundance. Focusing on the sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus , Petromyzontidae) and the European shads (allis shad Alosa alosa and twaite shad Alosa fallax , Clupeidae), emblematic diadromous fishes in the Northeast Atlantic reg...
A primary care pharmacogenetic precision medicine pilot based on specific Māori tribal ethical frameworks and principlesNARA Subscribed
Indigenous tribal communities are frequently underserved by genomic medicine because they are under-represented in research, often live in remote locations and have ethical and cultural perspectives that vary from westernised standpoints. The Rakeiora platform, a permissioning and analytical environment that incorporates Māori perspectives and ethical frameworks on how precision medicine research is best conducted was used to...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Soluble CD146 reflects altered endothelial and metabolic homeostasis in peripheral artery diseaseNARA Subscribed
Background Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a prevalent but underdiagnosed pathology. Soluble CD146 (sCD146) was described as a marker of endothelial dysfunction and vascular congestion. Objective We hypothesize that sCD146 may represent a novel biomarker of PAD. Our objective was to evaluate the association between plasma sCD146 levels and the occurrence and severity of PAD. Methods In this case–control study, 184 Caucasi...
