Anthropogenic Effects, Not Climatic Factors, Are Correlated With Holocene Population Expansion of an Insular Bee FaunaNARA Subscribed
Aim Remote island systems with small landmasses and reliable estimates of human occupancy can be ideal models to disentangle the roles of global climatic changes and local human occupation on biota. Here, we explored this with demographic reconstructions of native, ground‐nesting bees with non‐specialised floral visitation habits to infer changes in effective population size ( N e ). Location Viti Levu, Fiji, South West Pacifi...
Fundamental to holobiont biology is recognising how variation in microbial composition and function relates to host phenotypic variation. Sponges often exhibit considerable phenotypic plasticity and also harbour dense microbial communities that function to protect and nourish hosts. One of the most prominent sponge genera on Caribbean coral reefs is Agelas . Using a comprehensive set of morphological (growth form, spicule), ch...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
High species density patterns in macrofaunal invertebrate communities in the marine benthosNARA Subscribed
Species density of macrofaunal invertebrates living in marine soft sediments was highest at the shelf‐slope break (100–150 m) in Monterey Bay (449 m −2 ). There were 337 species m −2 in the mid‐shelf mud zone (80 m). There were fewer species along the slope: 205 m −2 from the lower slope (950‐2000 m) and 335 m −2 on the upper slope (250‐750 m). Species density was highest inside the bay (328‐446 m −2 ) compared to outside (336...
