Characterizing state‐managed and unmanaged fisheries in coastal marine states and territories of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
The status of federally managed fisheries in the United States is well monitored, but the condition of other marine fisheries, whether state‐managed, territory‐managed or unmanaged, is less understood and often unknown. We used expert surveys to characterize the management systems of non‐federally managed fisheries in US coastal marine states and overseas territories. For 311 fisheries, we estimated an overall Fisheries Manage...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
The dramatic decline in elm ( Ulmus ) across a large swathe of north‐west Europe in the mid‐Holocene has been ascribed to a number of possible factors, including climate change, human activity and/or pathogens. A major limitation for identifying the underlying cause(s) has been the limited number of high‐resolution records with robust geochronological frameworks. Here, we report a multiproxy study of an upland (Blea Tarn) and...
Prioritization of knowledge‐needs to achieve best practices for bottom trawling in relation to seabed habitatsNARA Subscribed
Management and technical approaches that achieve a sustainable level of fish production while at the same time minimizing or limiting the wider ecological effects caused through fishing gear contact with the seabed might be considered to be ‘best practice’. To identify future knowledge‐needs that would help to support a transition towards the adoption of best practices for trawling, a prioritization exercise was undertaken wit...
Short‐Term and Small‐Scale Variation in Food Availability to Natural Oyster Populations: Food, Flow and FluxNARA Subscribed
Food resources and water flow speeds vary on short‐temporal and small‐spatial scales important to feeding in natural populations of oysters ( Crassostrea virginica ). To better describe food availability to the oyster population, micro‐current meters were used to measure flow 1–3 cm above the bottom and frequent water sampling was used to determine the quantity and composition of the seston on Confederate Reef, Galveston Bay,...
