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...
Transmissible cancers are clonal lineages of neoplastic cells able to infect multiple hosts, spreading through populations in the environment as an infectious disease. Transmissible cancers have been identified in Tasmanian devils, dogs, and bivalves. Several lineages of bivalve transmissible neoplasias (BTN) have been identified in multiple bivalve species. In 2019 in Puget Sound, Washington, USA, disseminated neoplasia was o...
Proximity Labelling Confirms the Involvement of Papain-Like Cysteine Proteases and Chaperones in Cyclotide BiosynthesisNARA Subscribed
Cyclotides are disulfide-rich insecticidal peptides from plants that harbour a cyclic cystine knot motif that imparts them with high stability. Like most ribosomally encoded peptides, cyclotides are produced as precursor proteins that are subsequently processed to maturity through proteolytic activity. Although the final maturation of the prototypic cyclotide kalata B1 (kB1) is known to involve asparaginyl endopeptidases, the...
Purpose Left atrial (LA) rapid AF activity has been shown to co-localise with areas of successful atrial fibrillation termination by catheter ablation. We describe a technique that identifies rapid and regular activity. Methods Eight-second AF electrograms were recorded from LA regions during ablation for psAF. Local activation was annotated manually on bipolar signals and where these were of poor quality, we inspected unipola...
Anthropogenic activity can increase water turbidity, changing fish behaviour by reducing visibility. The spread of invasive species is also facilitated by human activity, further increasing the pressure on native species. In two experiments, we measured the foraging efficiency, risk perception and inter-individual consistency of risk-taking (personality variation in boldness) of an invasive species, the Nile tilapia ( Oreochro...
Attitudes of Asian Parkinson patients towards brain donationNARA Subscribed
We examined individual variation and the role of sex on the movements of the reef manta ray Mobula alfredi . Specifically, we analysed several movement metrics using 6 years of nightly observations (1 January 2009–31 December 2014) of 118 individually identifiable manta rays at two discrete but spatially proximate sites, locally known as Manta Heaven and Manta Village, 15 km apart on the west side of the island of Hawaii, USA....

δ 56 Fe in seabird guano reveals extensive recycling of iron in the Southern Ocean ecosystemNARA Subscribed
Availability of iron limits productivity in the Southern Ocean where vast regions of high‐nitrogen low‐chlorophyll conditions are punctuated by hotspots of production surrounding the subAntarctic islands. Here, we compare patterns in accumulation of iron, as indicated by [Fe] and Fe : C (from Wing et al. ), with proxies for uptake of iron within food webs, as indicated by Fe : Al and δ 56 Fe within the subAntarctic Auckland Is...
