Climate shapes community flowering periods across biomesNARA Subscribed
Aim Climate shapes the composition and function of plant communities globally, but it remains unclear how this influence extends to floral traits. Flowering phenology, or the time period in which a species flowers, has well‐studied relationships with climatic signals at the species level but has rarely been explored at a cross‐community and continental scale. Here, we characterise the distribution of flowering periods (months...
Small herbivores with big impacts: Tundra voles ( Microtus oeconomus ) alter post‐fire ecosystem dynamicsNARA Subscribed
Fire is an important ecological disturbance that can reset ecosystems and initiate changes in plant community composition, ecosystem biogeochemistry, and primary productivity. As herbivores rely on primary producers for food, changes in vegetation may alter plant–herbivore interactions with important—but often unexplored—feedbacks to ecosystems. Here we examined the impact of post‐fire changes in plant community composition an...
Urbanization Impact on Regional Climate and Extreme Weather: Current Understanding, Uncertainties, and Future Research DirectionsNARA Subscribed
Urban environments lie at the confluence of social, cultural, and economic activities and have unique biophysical characteristics due to continued infrastructure development that generally replaces natural landscapes with built-up structures. The vast majority of studies on urban perturbation of local weather and climate have been centered on the urban heat island (UHI) effect, referring to the higher temperature in cities com...
Hydrogen Sulfide Production with a Microbial Consortium Isolated from Marine Sediments OffshoreOA Marine
Hydrogen, electric energy production, and metal toxic bioremediation are some of the biotechnological applications of sulfate-reducing organisms, which potentially depend on the sulfide produced. In this study, offshore of Yucatan, the capacity to produce hydrogen sulfide using microbial consortia from marine sediment (SC469, PD102, SD636) in batch reactors was evaluated. Kinetic tests were characterized by lactate oxidation t...

Inter-laboratory automation of the in vitro micronucleus assay using imaging flow cytometry and deep learningNARA Subscribed
The in vitro micronucleus assay is a globally significant method for DNA damage quantification used for regulatory compound safety testing in addition to inter-individual monitoring of environmental, lifestyle and occupational factors. However, it relies on time-consuming and user-subjective manual scoring. Here we show that imaging flow cytometry and deep learning image classification represents a capable platform for automat...

Establishment of a Cre-rat resource for creating conditional and physiological relevant models of human diseasesNARA Subscribed
The goal of this study is to establish a Cre/loxP rat resource for conditional and physiologically predictive rat models of human diseases. The laboratory rat ( R . norvegicus ) is a central experimental animal in several fields of biomedical research, such as cardiovascular diseases, aging, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, cancer models, transplantation biology, inflammation, cancer risk assessment, industrial toxicology, p...
Males and females exhibit similar muscle glycogen recovery with varied recovery food sourcesNARA Subscribed
Purpose Research has elucidated the impact of post-exercise carbohydrate nutrition and environmental conditions on muscle glycogen re-synthesis. However, research has minimally considered the implications of glycogen recovery in females and has mostly focused on commercial sport nutrition products. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of varied mixed macronutrient feedings on glycogen recovery and subsequent...
