Parasites play a critical yet understudied role in Arctic ecosystems, particularly within key subsistence species such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). As the Arctic undergoes rapid climate-driven change, establishing baseline parasite biodiversity is essential for monitoring ecological shifts and anticipating emerging health and conservation concerns. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of Arct...
Coral acclimatization to novel, co-varying stressors is associated with fitness trade-offsNARA Subscribed
Reef-building corals are under pressure to acclimatize and/or adapt to multiple co-occurring stressors, including climate change and declines in water quality. However, their capacity to do so is largely unknown. Yet, some corals naturally persist in habitats with multi-stressor conditions which can provide crucial insight into coral adaptive capacity under future ocean conditions. To assess the role of phenotypic plasticity a...
Dune Russet (COTX08063-2Ru) is the first French fry russet potato cultivar released by the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program. It derives from a cross made by the Colorado State University Potato Program between Premier Russet and A99073-1 and was subsequently selected and advanced by the Texas Program. Dune Russet has oblong potato tubers with light russet skin texture and white flesh. It is characterized by having excellent F...
Despite extensive conservation efforts worldwide, biodiversity loss continues, particularly in tropical regions. It is, therefore, essential to develop biodiversity monitoring methods that can be effectively scaled up in both time and space, enabling wildlife managers to quickly assess and respond to changes in populations or communities. We explored the effectiveness of combining camera traps with acoustic methods to survey s...
Assessing Risk for Bycatch and Byproduct Species Using a Modified Sustainability Assessment for Fishing Effects (SAFE) ApproachNARA Subscribed
Central to ecosystem‐based fisheries management is ensuring the sustainability of bycatch and byproduct species. However, the sustainability of these species is difficult to assess as the lack of information limits the use of traditional stock assessment methods. We demonstrate, using a complex multi‐species fisheries exemplar, the efficient assessment of large numbers of diverse species, using a modified Sustainability Assess...
In vitro propagation protocol was optimized for the endangered fern Anemia schimperiana C. Presl subsp. Wightiana (Gardner) Fraser-Jenk and Cyathea gigantea (Wall. Ex. Hook.) Holtt. using in vitro spore culture. The matured spores that were collected and sterilized with 0.1% HgCl 2 for 15 min and washed with distilled water for 20 min showed less frequency of microbial contamination. The sterilized spores were inoculated on to...
