The recreational fishery for pollack ( Pollachius pollachius ) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release. Via an experimental weighted cage, this study evaluated the efficacy of releasing Pollack at depth as a barotrauma mitigation strategy....
Bee-ing similar: low diversity, no population structure, and signals of adaptation in two North Dakota bumble beesNARA Subscribed
Habitat fragmentation and destruction are driving widespread declines in ecosystem function, species abundance, and genetic diversity across the globe. Among the affected taxa are bumble bees (genus Bombus ), which are essential pollinators. Bumble bee declines have been linked to anthropogenic pressures such as land-use change and climate change. To better understand how the environment is shaping bumble bee populations, we e...
Purpose To study the incidence and subtype of breast cancer in relation to incident and prevalent statin use in a contemporary Swedish prospective cohort, The Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer, KARMA. Methods A total of 35,315 postmenopausal women attending mammography and included in the KARMA cohort (Jan 2011–March 2013) with data on statin use and potential confounders were studied. During...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Multichemical Exposure Assessment Using Silicone Wristbands in Central American AdolescentsNARA Subscribed
Chemical exposures are poorly characterized in Central America, where chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) is a leading cause of death. Most research evaluates occupational exposures in adults, yet early-life exposures remain understudied. We used silicone wristband passive samplers to characterize exposure to over 1,500 chemicals among Nicaraguan adolescents ( n = 80) residing in CKD high-risk communities but n...
Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species identification. The Sponge Barcoding Project, in tandem with regional DNA taxonomy campa...
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...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...

Local Adaptation in Climate Tolerance at a Small Geographic Scale Contrasts With Broad Latitudinal PatternsNARA Subscribed
While climate adaptation is typically quantified across broad gradients, the potential for adaptation to the same environmental variables at small scales is rarely tested. If local‐scale environmental heterogeneity can generate patterns of adaptation similar to broad gradients, then we currently underestimate adaptive capacity to global change. We quantified population variation in climate tolerance traits and their plasticity...
