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...
Seabirds provide inter-habitat connectivity by transporting vast quantities of nutrients from their pelagic feeding grounds to terrestrial and marine ecosystems via their nitrogen and phosphorous rich guano. However, it remains unclear whether seabird nutrients are cycling through many nearshore, temperate systems, such as United Kingdom (UK) rocky shores. Furthermore, it also remains unknown how seabird nutrient subsidies imp...
Small-scale fishing has affected abundance and size distributions of deepwater snappers and groupers in the MesoAmerican regionNARA Subscribed
Deepwater fisheries in the Caribbean Sea are poorly studied and mostly unmanaged, despite their importance to local economies and food security. In the MesoAmerican region, deepwater fisheries are nearshore and easily accessible in many locations by small vessels, but historical and contemporary fishing effort varies by country. We used standardized fishery-independent methods, including vertical longlines and baited remote un...
The Effects of Cooling on Fine-Grained Sandstone in Relation to Wellbore Injection of Carbon DioxideNARA Subscribed
In Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) procedures, it is important to determine the stability of the wellbore during carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injection and part of this involves assessing stresses on the rock near the wellbore due to changes in temperature and pressure. To address this, this study investigated the influence of cooling on the mechanical properties of a sandstone typical of those found in the central and southern Nor...
Ocular microtremor: a structured reviewNARA Subscribed
Ocular microtremor (OMT) is the smallest of three involuntary fixational micro eye movements, which has led to it being under researched in comparison. The link between OMT and brain function generates a strong rationale for further study as there is potential for its use as a biomarker in populations with neurological injury and disease. This structured review focused on populations previously studied, instrumentation used fo...
Revisiting Salvucci’s Semi-analytical Solution for Bare Soil Evaporation with New Consideration of Vapour Diffusion and Film FlowNARA Subscribed
Bare soil evaporation is controlled by a combination of capillary flow, vapour diffusion and film flow. Relevant analytical solutions mostly assume horizontal flow conditions and ignore gravitational effects. Salvucci (1997) provided a rare example of a semi-analytical solution for vertical bare soil evaporation. However, they did not explicitly represent vapour diffusion and film flow, which are likely to account for a signif...
Host plant resistance for fall armyworm management in maize: relevance, status and prospects in Africa and AsiaNARA Subscribed
Key message Sustainable control of fall armyworm (FAW) requires implementation of effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, with host plant resistance as a key component. Significant opportunities exist for developing and deploying elite maize cultivars with native genetic resistance and/or transgenic resistance for FAW control in both Africa and Asia. Abstract The fall armyworm [ Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith...

Inferring infection hazard in wildlife populations by linking data across individual and population scalesNARA Subscribed
Our ability to infer unobservable disease‐dynamic processes such as force of infection (infection hazard for susceptible hosts) has transformed our understanding of disease transmission mechanisms and capacity to predict disease dynamics. Conventional methods for inferring FOI estimate a time‐averaged value and are based on population‐level processes. Because many pathogens exhibit epidemic cycling and FOI is the result of pro...
