Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray ( Raja clavata ), undulate ray ( Raja undulata ) and small‐eyed ray ( Raja microocellata ) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries. Thornback ray were sampled in the English Channel trammel net fishery ( n = 60), the...
Primate populations worldwide are experiencing rapid declines due to habitat loss, degradation, and overexploitation. These pressures are particularly severe across sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot, which supports several threatened and endemic species. The Ebo-Makombe-Ndokbou forests in southwestern Cameroon contain critical habitat for several of these species, including the Critically Endangere...
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...
Effect of controlled human Plasmodium falciparum infection on B cell subsets in individuals with different levels of malaria immunityNARA Subscribed
Continuous exposure to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) has been associated with alterations in B cells. We investigated the effect of controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) on B cell phenotypes in individuals with different Pf immunity status: malaria-naïve, immunized with PfSPZ-CVac and semi-immune (lifelong-exposed) volunteers. Compared to naïve, semi-immune but not vaccinated individuals, had increased baseline frequencies of...
Coastal managers worldwide must prepare for changes in annual wave overtopping events due to climate change and sea-level rise. Research often assesses overtopping discharges by extreme events at a sea wall crest, typically using data from physical models or empirical rules based on scaled experiments. Here, we analyse a unique 1-year field dataset of coastal wave overtopping, from SW England, to determine the number of indivi...
The Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) provides highly temporally resolved observations of the physical, chemical, and biological variability in the upper ocean, as well as the export of particulate organic and inorganic carbon to the ocean interior, in the subantarctic region south of Australia. The SOTS observatory focuses on the subantarctic region because of its importance in the formation of mode water and the associated u...
We assembled a European bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) association mapping panel ( n = 480) genotyped using a 90,000 feature single nucleotide polymorphism array, with the aim of identifying genetic loci controlling resistance to four fungal diseases: yellow (stripe) rust (YR), brown (leaf) rust (BR), Septoria tritici blotch (ST) and powdery mildew (PM). Simulations showed our panel to have good power to detect genetic lo...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
Transmissible cancers are clonal lineages of neoplastic cells able to infect multiple hosts, spreading through populations in the environment as an infectious disease. Transmissible cancers have been identified in Tasmanian devils, dogs, and bivalves. Several lineages of bivalve transmissible neoplasias (BTN) have been identified in multiple bivalve species. In 2019 in Puget Sound, Washington, USA, disseminated neoplasia was o...
