Female mountain gorillas form enduring social relationshipsNARA Subscribed
First detection and complete genome sequence of a new potexvirus naturally infecting Adenium obesumNARA Subscribed
Here, we report the detection and complete genome sequence of a novel potexvirus, tentatively named “Adenium obesum virus X” (AobVX), isolated from Adenium obesum , that was sent for virus screening at Australian Government post-entry quarantine (PEQ) facilities after being imported into Australia from China. The AobVX genome is 6781 nucleotides in length excluding the poly(A) tail and is predicted to encode conserved potexvir...
Female age and reproductive stage influence copulation patterns in mountain gorillas’ variable mating systemNARA Subscribed
Variation in mating systems and in individuals’ copulation patterns can have important consequences for the genetic structure of a population and ultimately its evolution. Whilst most gorilla sub-species form single-male, polygynous reproductive groups, mountain gorillas have both single-male and multimale reproductive groups. Considerable research has investigated the mating patterns of males in these multimale groups, but co...
Evaluation of the SPARTACUS-Urban Radiation Model for Vertically Resolved Shortwave Radiation in Urban AreasNARA Subscribed
The heterogenous structure of urban environments impacts interactions with radiation, and the intensity of urban–atmosphere exchanges. Numerical weather prediction (NWP) often characterizes the urban structure with an infinite street canyon, which does not capture the three-dimensional urban morphology realistically. Here, the SPARTACUS (Speedy Algorithm for Radiative Transfer through Cloud Sides) approach to urban radiation (...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Quantification of Goods Purchases and Waste Generation at the Level of Individual HouseholdsNARA Subscribed
Summary Quantifying differences in resource use and waste generation between individual households and exploring the reasons for the variations observed implies the need for disaggregated data on household activities and related physical flows. The collection of disaggregated data for water use, gas use, electricity use, and mobility has been reported in the literature and is normally achieved through sensors and computational...
Expanding the Global Network of Protected Areas to Save the Imperiled Mediterranean BiomeNARA Subscribed
Global goals established by the Convention on Biological Diversity stipulate that 10% of the world's ecological regions must be effectively conserved by 2010. To meet that goal for the mediterranean biome, at least 5% more land must be formally protected over the next few years. Although global assessments identify the mediterranean biome as a priority, without biologically meaningful analysis units, finer‐resolution data, and...
