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...
IND-enabling preclinical studies of [11C]COU, a trapped metabolite PET radiotracer for monoamine oxidase-BNARA Subscribed
[ 11 C]COU is a trapped metabolite radiotracer for in vivo analysis of Monoamine Oxidase B activity using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. [ 11 C]COU has the potential to quantify astrocytosis in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, providing an earlier marker of disease than currently available for staging disease progression. Prior preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this radiotracer in precl...
The Greatest Extinction Event in 66 Million Years? Contextualising Anthropogenic ExtinctionsNARA Subscribed
Biological communities are changing rapidly in response to human activities, with the high rate of vertebrate species extinction leading many to propose that we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction event. Five past mass extinction events have commonly been identified across the Phanerozoic, with the last occurring at the end of the Cretaceous, 66 million years ago (Ma). However, life on Earth has always changed and evol...
Several legal acts mandate that management agencies regularly assess biological populations. For species with distinct markings, these assessments can be conducted noninvasively via capture‐recapture and photographic identification (photo‐ID), which involves processing considerable quantities of photographic data. To ease this burden, agencies increasingly rely on automated identification (ID) algorithms. Identification algori...
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...
Studies of the resident community of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) of Sarasota Bay, Florida, have been conducted for more than 50 years. Detailed histories have been collected for resident individuals through integrated observations, systematic photographic identification surveys, tagging and tracking, catch-and-release health assessments, remote biopsy sampling, and stranding response. This has produced a unique...
