The fast‐slow continuum is a key axis of variation in life history strategies capturing the evolutionary trade‐off between allocation in lifespan versus reproduction. It has been suggested that social behaviour, and therefore network structure, may vary across this continuum, but formal theory remains scarce. We develop a mathematical model to examine how the rate of demographic replacement may influence emergent social networ...
Ostracod faunal and geochemical evidence for the impact of Hoxnian (MIS 11c) sea levels in eastern EnglandNARA Subscribed
Marine isotope substage 11c (~426–366 ka) is widely regarded as the most recent Pleistocene interglacial that is broadly analogous to the Holocene. The timing and magnitude of sea‐level changes during MIS 11 have been much debated, particularly concerning whether sea levels were significantly higher than during the Holocene. Empirical evidence derived from terrestrial (onshore) records in northern Europe that might contribute...
Challenges and pathways for matching corporate value‐chain biodiversity losses and gainsNARA Subscribed
In the context of ambitious global biodiversity goals, the need to compensate for the impact of corporate activities is no longer restricted to direct impacts but extends to the entire value chain of corporations. This is challenging, considering the substantial uncertainties involved in measuring corporate value‐chain biodiversity losses and gains, which render their comparison difficult. Corporations run the risk of taking i...
Comparing Microbial Communities of Diseased and Healthy Isopora palifera Corals and Adjacent Waters at the Cocos (Keeling) IslandsNARA Subscribed
Growth anomalies (GAs) are coral diseases characterised by tumour‐like skeletal lesions reported globally, yet their causes remain poorly understood. Microorganisms are integral to coral health, but the role of bacterial communities in GAs remains unclear. We investigated an outbreak of GAs in Isopora palifera at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to compare bacterial communities of GA‐affected and...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Green Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Sophora flavescens ‐Mediated Silver NanoparticlesNARA Subscribed
This study describes a green, simple, and low‐cost biological way tosynthesize silvernanoparticles (AgNPs)using the ethanolic root extract of Sophora flavescens . It investigates its antifungal activity against four strains of Candida albicans , Candida tropicalis , Candida utilis , and Aspergillus flavus . Atomic force microscopy, ultraviolet–visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), zeta potential, and atomic absorption sp...
Origins of Diversity in the Eastern Gulf Coastal Plain of North America: High Endemism Within a Biodiversity HotspotNARA Subscribed
The Eastern Gulf Coastal Plain (EGCP) is a small region within the North American Coastal Plain (NACP), a recognised biodiversity hotspot. The EGCP has been described as ‘one of the most important hotspots of speciation and endemism’ in the United States, yet remains an anomaly relative to other regions with high biodiversity and endemism. In contrast to most biodiversity hotspots, the EGCP is homogeneous in elevation, coastal...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
