An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate speciesNARA Subscribed
The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure. The population of bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, experienced long...
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...
AI-driven seasonal streamflow prediction in Victoria: a focus on ENSO climate predictorNARA Subscribed
Seasonal prediction of streamflow plays a crucial role in water allocation in southeastern Australia, where hydroclimatic variability is modulated by large-scale ocean-atmosphere interactions. Among them, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is recognised as a dominant driver, commonly represented by the Niño 3.4 index anomalies. This study examines the Niño 3.4 index to predict spring streamflow across Victoria. Two modell...
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...
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...
Exploring the Impact of E-cigarettes on Cardiovascular Health: Insights from Preclinical and Clinical StudiesNARA Subscribed
Electronic cigarettes are popular tobacco products that heat e-liquid into an aerosol for inhalation. Since their introduction to the market, electronic cigarettes have been considered a safer alternative to combustible tobacco products. However, most of today’s users are adolescents and young adults naïve to tobacco products, who are drawn to e-cigarettes by appealing designs and targeted marketing, resulting in exposure to l...
Coastal Elites: Recurrent Trans‐Arctic Migration and Vicariance in a Cosmopolitan Sea Slug Driven by Pleistocene Glacial CyclesNARA Subscribed
Many coastal marine species experienced Pleistocene gene flow between the North Pacific and Atlantic. Understanding historical connectivity between ocean basins should aid in predicting how regional faunas will respond to recent warming that has intensified trans‐Arctic dispersal. Wetland fauna of the Northwestern Atlantic may have survived in estuarine refugia throughout glacial cycles, or recolonised from the southern coast,...
Research on physical activity (PA) and health has a fundamental concern with dose–response relationships. The variables of (1) Frequency, (2) Intensity, (3) Time, and (4) Type (i.e., the FITT principle) have traditionally been used to operationalize the dosage of PA. We consider some limitations of FITT and propose that it can be complemented by the additional variable density (from the German exercise and training variable Be...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
