The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Sustainable commercial fishing makes valuable contributions to coastal regions and broader national benefits. This paper offers three arguments in relation to what is required for the societal benefits of sustainable fisheries to be fully realised and considers each in the context of the UK but with global relevance. First, there is a need to raise the profile of the full range of benefits that are delivered through sustainabl...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2023 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are rare inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by a progressive impairment of gait, balance, limb coordination, and speech. There is currently no composite scale that includes multiple aspects of the SCA experience to assess disease progression and treatment effects. Applying the method of partial least squares (PLS) regression, we developed the Spinocerebellar Ataxia Composite Scale...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2022 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
There is increasing need for methods that integrate multiple data types into a single analytical framework as the spatial and temporal scale of ecological research expands. Current work on this topic primarily focuses on combining capture–recapture data from marked individuals with other data types into integrated population models. Yet, studies of species distributions and trends often rely on data from unmarked individuals a...
Short‐ and long‐term effects of habitat fragmentation differ but are predicted by response to the matrixNARA Subscribed
Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Our current understanding of the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation is based largely on studies that focus on either short‐term or long‐term responses. Short‐term responses are often used to predict long‐term responses and make management decisions. The lack of studies comparing short‐ and long‐term responses to fragmentation means...
Assessing Multiregion Avian Benefits from Strategically Targeted Agricultural BuffersNARA Subscribed
Mounting evidence of wildlife population gains from targeted conservation practices has prompted the need to develop and evaluate practices that are integrated into production agriculture systems and targeted toward specific habitat objectives. However, effectiveness of targeted conservation actions across broader landscapes is poorly understood. We evaluated multiregion, multispecies avian densities on row‐crop fields with na...
There has been considerable debate on whether root/rhizosphere respiration or bulk soil respiration is more sensitive to long‐term temperature changes. We investigated the response of belowground respiration to soil warming by 3 °C above ambient in bare soil plots and plots planted with wheat and maize. Initially, belowground respiration responded more to the soil warming in bare soil plots than in planted plots. However, as t...
Forest soil CO 2 flux: uncovering the contribution and environmental responses of ectomycorrhizasNARA Subscribed
Forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, being considered an important and continuing carbon sink. However, the response of carbon sequestration in forests to global climate change remains a major uncertainty, with a particularly poor understanding of the origins and environmental responses of soil CO 2 efflux. For example, despite their large biomass, the contribution of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi to forest so...
