Similar Sensorimotor Activations with and without Virtual Limbs During Action Execution and Observation in Neurorehabilitation SystemsNARA Subscribed
Virtual reality rehabilitation systems often represent actions through virtual limbs. However, previous observation-only studies suggest that frontoparietal networks involved in action observation and execution may also be engaged by simpler virtual effectors. In the present fMRI study, we examined whether the visual presence of a virtual limb modulates brain activity during both action execution and action observation in a vi...
Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for SpainNARA Subscribed
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of long‐term changes in dry‐spell dynamics across Spain for the period 1961–2024, using both classical non‐parametric methods and a novel non‐stationary probabilistic framework applied to exceedance series of dry‐spell durations. Using daily precipitation data from a dense network of quality‐controlled stations, dry‐spells were identified based on four thresholds (0.1, 1, 5, and 1...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Post-fire short-term treatments on a hillslope burnt soil: a case in the NW Iberian Atlantic transition regionNARA Subscribed
Forest fires pose a significant threat to rural areas, affecting ecosystems, property, infrastructure, and human lives. Effective post-fire management strategies are crucial for short-term ecosystem and community recovery. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three post-fire interventions in reducing soil erosion and runoff within a temperate Atlantic–transition climate, focusing on a shrubland hillslope near organic vine...
This study introduces the first high-resolution hazard probability maps of extreme precipitation for Spain, marking a significant step toward a national climate service for hydrometeorological extremes. Using long-term daily precipitation records from a dense network of stations and incorporating topographic data, the methodology combines the Generalized Pareto distribution with universal kriging to spatially interpolate distr...
The effects of temperature changes on Totoaba macdonaldi larval development, growth, and respiratory ratesNARA Subscribed
Understanding the effects of environmental temperature on marine fish larvae is crucial for optimizing feeding regimes and promoting optimal development and growth from a zootechnical perspective in aquaculture practices. The present study investigated the impact of different rearing temperatures on development, growth, and oxygen consumption rates of Totoaba macdonaldi larvae. An open-flow seawater recirculating system was us...
Beyond the NAO : The East Atlantic Pattern's Role in Early 20th‐Century Meteorological Droughts in Western EuropeNARA Subscribed
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the East Atlantic (EA) pattern are the primary winter modes of large‐scale atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic. While EA is generally considered secondary to NAO, recent studies have reported that during the early 20th century, EA was the leading mode of variability instead of NAO. This study builds on that finding to characterise North Atlantic winter atmospheric circulation...
Global Patterns and Drivers of Seagrass Biomass, Net Primary Production and Meadow StructureNARA Subscribed
Aim We decipher global patterns in seagrass growth and structure to advance seagrass science, facilitate multidisciplinary research, and promote effective management strategies and policy development for seagrass habitats. Location: Global. Time period: 1975 to 2024. Major taxa studied: Seagrasses—marine angiosperms. Methods A global data set on seagrass total biomass, total net primary productivity (NPP), shoot density, and p...
Assessing the importance of prey, climate change, and human footprint for modeling current and future distribution of Leopardus guignaNARA Subscribed
Species distribution models based solely on climatic variables are limited in their ability to predict future geographic ranges. One way to overcome this difficulty is to incorporate biological variables relevant to the focal species and variables representing the anthropogenic effect in the study area. Leopardus guigna (güiña) is a charismatic and threatened feline species of southern South America. Based on climatic models,...
Background and Aims While much research has focused on the benefits of cover crop diversity for crop productivity, there is limited evidence on how root diversity and species selection stabilise soil. Although cover crops can potentially improve on-farm soil and water management, how they bind soil (through rhizosheath development) and whether multi-species cover crops offer additional benefits has attracted little attention....
Induced tomato defenses mediated by jasmonic acid do not have a major effect on the density of predator biological control agentsNARA Subscribed
Plants have developed different defense mechanisms to protect themselves from the attack of herbivores. Plant defenses can be categorized into two types: constitutive , which are present before herbivore attack, and induced , which are activated upon attack. Some herbivores have developed the ability to neutralize either or both types of plant defenses, and plant defenses may act against their own interest when they negatively...
Diversity in Resource Use Strategies Promotes Productivity in Young Planted Tree Species MixturesNARA Subscribed
Mixed‐species forestry is a promising approach to enhance productivity, increase carbon sequestration, and mitigate climate change. Diverse forests, composed of species with varying structures and functional trait profiles, may have higher functional and structural diversity, which are attributes relevant to a number of mechanisms that can influence productivity. However, it remains unclear whether the context‐dependent roles...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Improving harvester yield maps postprocessing leveraging remote sensing data in rice cropNARA Subscribed
Precision Agriculture relies significantly on yield data obtained from combine harvesters, which constitutes a pivotal tool for optimizing crop productivity. Despite its potential, challenges in data accuracy persist, necessitating the development of novel automated postprocessing protocols for yield data refinement. In this paper, different automatic postprocessing protocols were evaluated using remote sensing data, specifica...
