Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are essential for conservation planning. Using the loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta )...
Oxalis yalinensis, a new species of O. sect. Rhombifoliae (Oxalidaceae) from Oaxaca, MexicoNARA Subscribed
Summary The description of a new species of Oxalis sect. Rhombifoliae (R.Knuth) Lourteig from the state of Oaxaca, in Mexico is presented. To date, this section includes six species, of which four are American and two are from the Marquesas Islands, in French Polynesia. The new species belongs to a group of three, morphologically similar, species inhabiting areas ranging from northern Mexico to Guatemala: Oxalis clematodes Don...
Experiments on entire ecosystems have contributed knowledge on effects of atmospheric CO 2 and climate change, environmental pollutants, trophic cascades, response of fisheries to management, consumer interactions, ecosystem resilience and stability, and early warning indicators of critical transitions in ecosystem state. Rate of change in external drivers of an ecosystem such as climate warming, inflow of water or nutrients,...
Objectives Physical activity is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression and death; changes in insulin sensitivity and inflammation are potential mediating mechanisms. This study examined whether exercise after PCa diagnosis affects insulin-related and inflammatory biomarkers. Methods The Active Surveillance Exercise (ASX) randomized controlled trial was assigned to men undergoing active surveillance f...
PARSIFAL: A toolkit for triple-GEM parametrized simulationNARA Subscribed
Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real‐time effects into their long‐term consequences remains a challenge. The rapid and extreme warming period that occurred after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (7–12 thousand years ago) provides an opportunity to gain insights into the long‐te...
Resilience was compared for alternate states of phytoplankton pigment concentration in two multiyear whole‐lake experiments designed to shift the manipulated ecosystem between alternate states. Mean exit time, the average time between threshold crossings, was calculated from automated measurements every 5 min during summer stratification. Alternate states were clearly identified, and equilibria showed narrow variation in boots...
Phytoplankton biomass, dissolved organic matter, and temperature drive respiration in whole lake nutrient additionsNARA Subscribed
Lake respiration is supported by a mixture of autochthonous and allochthonous resources, but the relative significance and interaction of these sources are uncertain across gradients of primary production and organic matter inputs. We manipulated autochthonous resources by adding inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus to two lakes during three summers and monitored a third reference lake. Allochthonous resources were measured as fl...
More nature in the cityNARA Subscribed
An important tenet of science is establishing the reproducibility of findings. While long‐term studies may seem ill‐suited to this goal, here we provide an example of reproducible results from repeated nutrient additions to a lake. We added nitrogen and phosphorus to Peter Lake in 9 yr of a 33‐yr study. For seven of these nine additions, phytoplankton biomass, as measured by seasonal mean chlorophyll a , increased in proportio...
