Background Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a biomarker for cardiovascular diseases, and its circulating levels are altered in preeclampsia (PE), which shares mechanisms with cardiovascular diseases. Several SNPs in the GDF15 locus were associated with GDF15 levels, including the GWAS lead SNP rs888663. However, no previous study had performed a functional characterization of rs888663 nor had tested the hypothesis t...
Investigating Dynamic Interactions in Multivariate Climate Time Series: Insights From Transfer Entropy Analysis PerspectiveNARA Subscribed
Understanding how surface climate variables interact directionally remains challenging, particularly in complex terrain environments where nonlinear dynamics, terrain heterogeneity, and seasonal regime shifts limit the applicability of conventional correlation‐based analyses. This study develops a multivariate, cross‐station Transfer Entropy (TE) framework to diagnose directional climate interactions among wind speed, temperat...
Coral mortality in a mass bleaching event influenced by proximity to diseased tissue and reef topographyNARA Subscribed
Coral reefs of the Florida Keys experienced the hottest summer on record in 2023, causing mass bleaching and mortality of scleractinian corals. Sea surface temperatures remained above 31°C for 41 days, exceeding all prior records for the region. Branching corals fared especially poorly, especially Acropora palmata , which has now been deemed functionally extinct across the entire Florida Reef Tract. High temperatures and prolo...

Plant Functional Traits and Vegetation Structure Explain Pollination Networks at ScaleNARA Subscribed
Quantifying biotic interactions at scale is critical to understanding ecosystem functions, such as plant‐pollinator interactions. Here, we demonstrate how woody plant functional traits and vegetation structure gathered with remote sensing can aid in predicting plant‐pollinator network indices from fine to broad spatial extents. We analysed 209 tropical plant‐pollinator networks, where vegetation characteristics were generated...
Anthropogenic phosphorus (P) inputs are rapidly altering terrestrial P cycling through plant – soil – microbial interactions; however, global patterns and underlying mechanisms driving these changes remain poorly understood. By performing a global meta‐analysis of 1315 observations from 176 studies across diverse natural terrestrial ecosystems, we found that P addition increased P concentrations in foliage, stems, roots, and l...

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...
