A novel pulley–vest model enables progressive resistance exercise in rats without tail loadingNARA Subscribed
Resistance training in rodent models is widely used to investigate muscular and cardiovascular adaptations. Traditional models often attach loads to the tail. The present study aimed to develop and validate a resistance training model for rats using a pulley system combined with a load-bearing vest, allowing progressive overload without tail attachment. Spontaneously hypertensive rats were assigned to control (CTR, n = 4) or r...
Texture- and threshold-based image segmentation for quantifying Asian soybean rust severity in digital imagesNARA Subscribed
Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi , is among the most destructive fungal diseases of soybean worldwide, making accurate severity quantification essential for breeding programs and disease management. In this study, we developed and validated an automated image segmentation pipeline, implemented in Python, to quantify ASR severity from images of soybean leaflets. The method operates in two stages: the fi...
LandFrag : A Dataset to Investigate the Effects of Forest Loss and Fragmentation on BiodiversityNARA Subscribed
Motivation The accelerated and widespread conversion of once continuous ecosystems into fragmented landscapes has driven ecological research to understand the response of biodiversity to local (fragment size) and landscape (forest cover and fragmentation) changes. This information has important theoretical and applied implications, but is still far from complete. We compiled the most comprehensive and updated database to inves...
NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distri...
