Climate‐informed stock‐recruitment models identify potential environmental links for commercial fish stocksNARA Subscribed
Several studies have demonstrated non‐stationarity in marine fish maximum per capita recruitment rate, which may be linked to regional environmental drivers. Exploring relationships between environmental drivers and time‐varying recruitment rate will provide insight into recruitment processes, and suggest how fisheries managers may adapt biological reference points and adjust harvest‐control rules in response to changes in the...
Impacts of Quaternary Climate History on the Biogeography of Specialized Butterflies in the Great Basin of North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Aim Dramatic Quaternary climate fluctuations impacted the evolutionary history and contemporary biogeography of many residents of the Great Basin Desert of western North America. This study investigates the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the contemporary distribution of genetic variation in a polytypic group of specialized butterflies that are residents of unique dune and playa habitats. Many of the subspecies...
Mixed Support for Pleistocene Sea‐Level Fluctuations in Promoting the Diversification of Anole Lizards in the Northern Lesser AntillesNARA Subscribed
In the Pleistocene, climatic changes resulted in cycles of sea‐level fluctuation that periodically fragmented islands into aggregate island complexes. These temporary saltwater barriers between islands within an island bank had the potential to decrease migration between populations on separate islands, resulting in increased genetic divergence and potentially speciation. In the Lesser Antilles, Anolis lizards (anoles) are dis...
Determination of Optimal Surface Drainage Depth for Sunflower Cultivation on Saline Clay Soils in Southern BangladeshNARA Subscribed
In low‐lying coastal areas of Bangladesh, excess soil water after the monsoon delays the timely establishment of dry season crops. Late sowing exposes these crops to high temperatures, high evaporation, and elevated soil and water salinity, which reduce crop growth and yield. In addition, unseasonal heavy rainfall exacerbates the situation by causing waterlogging, which may compound crop yield losses. Facilitating surface drai...
Tropical cyclone landfall intensity (Vmax) for western North Pacific nations: return period and trendsNARA Subscribed
Human impacts, including financial losses, are closely related to the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls in the western North Pacific (WNP) region. Here, 44 years of observational TC wind speed (V max ) and track records (1980–2023) are used to examine TC landfall intensity trends and recurrence. Analysis is conducted over individual nations and includes modulation by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)...
Mapping the Distribution and Conservation Status of Mature and Old Growth Forests Across Coastal Alaska and British ColumbiaNARA Subscribed
Old growth forests in coastal Alaska and British Columbia represent some of the most expansive temperate rainforests on Earth, supporting high biodiversity, substantial carbon stocks, and the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities. Despite their importance, spatially consistent information on the distribution of old growth and mature forests in this region remains limited. We addressed this gap by integrating data across...
The expansion and intensification of aquaculture have been widely adopted to support large-scale production, creating a reliance on high-protein feed ingredients such as soybean meal (SBM) and fish meal (FM). These ingredients, however, are costly and unsustainable, emphasizing the need for alternative plant-based protein sources for aquafeeds. This study assessed the nutritional and feed value of fermented rice bran meal (FRB...
