Interplay between colorectal cancer-related lifestyles and the gut microbiome: an exploratory analysis of metagenomic dataNARA Subscribed
Purpose The gut microbiome may modify the associations between lifestyle factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but their complex interplay, including the interactions between lifestyle factors, remain underexplored. We examined associations between CRC-related lifestyle patterns and gut microbiome diversity and composition in Finnish adults. Methods Our data included 1,228 adults aged 25–64 years from the National FINRISK/...
Harbor seals ( Phoca vitulina ) are one of the most important apex‐predators in the Wadden Sea. However, baseline information on their distribution and behavior is still sparse and geographically restricted. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of their underwater sounds can provide information about their fine‐scaled distribution and habitat use. This study is the first to analyze underwater vocal behavior of harbor seals in the...
Wildfire and Drought Alter the Ecology of Jaguars and Co‐Occurring Mammals in the World's Largest WetlandNARA Subscribed
Climate change‐driven disturbances are reshaping ecosystems worldwide with profound implications for biodiversity. We leveraged a long‐term dataset and a natural before‐after‐control‐impact experimental framework to evaluate the impacts of wildfire and concurrent drought on jaguars and the terrestrial mammal community in northern Pantanal. Using camera traps and jaguar scats collected before, during, and after a large wildfire...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Hard substrates play an important role in global marine systems as settlement surface for sessile reef-forming species such as corals, seaweeds, and shellfish. In soft-sediment systems, natural hard substrates such as stones, bedrock and driftwood are essential as they support diverse assemblages of reef-associated species. However, availability of these hard substrates has been declining in many estuaries and shallow seas wor...

Extensive aquatic subsidies lead to territorial breakdown and high density of an apex predatorNARA Subscribed
Energetic subsidies between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems can strongly influence food webs and population dynamics. Our objective was to study how aquatic subsidies affected jaguar ( Panthera onca ) diet, sociality, and population density in a seasonally flooded protected area in the Brazilian Pantanal. The diet ( n = 138 scats) was dominated by fish (46%) and aquatic reptiles (55%), representing the first jaguar populati...
Purpose of the Review The review synthesises the current knowledge of post-windstorm management in selected European countries in order to identify knowledge gaps and guide future research. Recent Findings Despite the differences in forest ownership and national regulations, management experiences in Europe converge at (1) the need for mechanization of post-windthrow management to ensure operator safety, (2) the importance to...
Synergistic Effects of Rooted Aquatic Vegetation and Drift Wrack on Ecosystem MultifunctionalityNARA Subscribed
Ecosystem multifunctionality is an increasingly popular concept used to approximate multifaceted ecosystem functioning, which in turn may help advance ecosystem-based management. However, while experimental studies have shown a positive effect of diversity on multifunctionality, observational studies from natural systems—particularly aquatic—are scarce. Here, we tested the relative importance of species richness and cover of r...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
