Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Quantifying animal movements is necessary for answering a wide array of research questions in ecology and conservation biology. Consequently, ecologists have made considerable efforts to identify the best way to estimate an animal's home range, and many methods of estimating home ranges have arisen over the past half a century. Most of these methods fall into two distinct categories of estimators that have only recently been d...
The AD 365 and the AD 1303 tsunamis are known extreme wave events that caused severe damage and fatalities along the coastlines of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. We analysed geomorphological and sedimentological data from the Korission Lagoon (Corfu Island, Greece) and compared them with results of numerical simulations. Washover fans and sediment cores reveal coarse-grained high-energy deposits intersecting prevailing lagoona...
Pelagic sharks target long‐lived, retentive anticyclonic eddies in the Northwest Atlantic OceanNARA Subscribed
Open ocean ecosystems represent the largest habitat on Earth and are highly dynamic in time and space. Mesoscale eddies are a primary driver of this variability and serve a key structural role in ocean ecosystems. Eddies modulate marine biodiversity beyond their impacts on plankton, influencing many ecologically and commercially important predators that may preferentially occupy anticyclonic eddies. However, how animal‐eddy in...
Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warmingNARA Subscribed
Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from summer habitats in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. We then forecasted how migratory ti...
Combining Observations and Models: A Review of the CARDAMOM Framework for Data‐Constrained Terrestrial Ecosystem ModelingNARA Subscribed
The rapid increase in the volume and variety of terrestrial biosphere observations (i.e., remote sensing data and in situ measurements) offers a unique opportunity to derive ecological insights, refine process‐based models, and improve forecasting for decision support. However, despite their potential, ecological observations have primarily been used to benchmark process‐based models, as many past and current models lack the c...
Introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has improved overall survival (OS) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, responses differ greatly amongst patients. Additional radiotherapy (RT) may promote tumor-specific immunity and synergize with ICI to improve tumor control. The multicenter phase II FORCE trial evaluated safety and efficacy of nivolumab with additional palliative radiotherapy (5 × 4 Gy...
Nutrient limitation dampens the response of a harmful algae to a marine heatwave in an upwelling systemNARA Subscribed
Harmful algal blooms caused by toxin‐producing species of the diatom genus Pseudo‐nitzschia have been linked to anomalously warm ocean conditions in the Northern California Current System. This study compares summertime concentrations of Pseudo‐nitzschia spp. and the toxin they produce, domoic acid, during a marine heatwave year (2019) and a climatologically neutral year (2021). An Imaging FlowCytobot was installed on a fisher...
