Jaguar Range‐Wide Connectivity: Prioritising Core Areas and Corridors Between and Within Protected Areas and Indigenous LandsNARA Subscribed
Anthropogenic habitat transformation has led to population declines and increasing isolation of populations of many species, particularly top predators, where small and fragmented populations often experience limited dispersal and reduced genetic diversity. Jaguars ( Panthera onca ), for example, have lost half of their historical range and most populations outside the Amazon biome are small, isolated and highly threatened. He...
The reproductive biology of the starry grouper, Epinephelus labriformis , in Mazatlan Bay, Mexico, was studied through histological analysis of the gonads. A total of 527 fish were examined through weekly sampling from March 2017 to March 2018. In this species, the gonads are bilobed and connected to a common gonoduct. E. labriformis exhibits monandric protogynous hermaphroditism, with a female‐to‐male proportion of 1.5 female...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Quick conversions and de novo synthesis within the entire α- and β-carotenoid branches during non-steady-state light transientsNARA Subscribed
Understanding the rapid adjustments of plants to high-light exposure remains challenging, as multiple excitation and de-excitation pathways are simultaneously activated. In this study, we examined carotenoid pigment conversions at the second-scale in three tree species in parallel with high temporal resolution (<1 s) in vivo fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. Our results reveal that both β-branch (violaxanthin, antherax...
Peptide and osteological evidence for sex bias in megalithic tombs of La Lora region, Northern IberiaNARA Subscribed
Burial patterns of ancient communities based on the analysis of human remains are difficult to define. In this regard, the existence of a sex bias in megalithic tombs of western Europe remains unclear. Sex estimation using standard osteological methodologies based on dimorphic features is a complex task in commingled and fragmentary human skeletal assemblages, as those found in megalithic burials usually are. Fortunately, adva...
Deep Learning-Based Classification of Temporal Stages of AT8-Labeled Tau Pathology After Experimental Traumatic Brain InjuryNARA Subscribed
Tauopathies are characterised by a progressive accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau. However, early and intermediate stages remain challenging to quantify due to subtle and heterogeneous morphological characteristics. This study evaluates a deep learning framework for classifying multiple temporal stages of tauopathy progression using AT8 (anti-phospho-tau antibody)-stained cortical micrographs in a controlled traumatic bra...
Agroforestry systems integrate open and woody elements within agricultural landscapes, creating structurally complex ecosystems that provide habitats for diverse taxa, including spiders. This study examined the effect of agroforestry systems on ground-dwelling spiders across multiple European countries. In each country, several mature agroforestry plots were compared with non-agroforestry agricultural and woody reference plots...
Nearly Synchronous Speciation in the Mexican Highlands: Did the Juniperus deppeana Complex Diverge Under Peripatry?NARA Subscribed
Speciation is a central focus in evolutionary biology, yet the processes driving diversification in montane regions remain incompletely understood. The Mexican highlands, a hotspot of conifer diversity characterised by complex topography and pronounced climatic heterogeneity, offer a unique setting to study these dynamics. Here, we investigated the genetic and taxonomic diversity within the Juniperus deppeana species complex,...
Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment. We investigated how the traits of putative nurse species affect interaction outcomes across global drylands and determined the fu...
