Biosafety implications of cadaver preservation methods in veterinary anatomy educationNARA Subscribed
Cadaver dissection remains fundamental in veterinary medicine and anatomy education, providing an irreplaceable experiential learning opportunity. It fosters three-dimensional anatomical understanding, the development of manual dissection skills, and early insights into clinical practice. Despite growing availability of digital and virtual simulation tools, preserved animal cadavers remain essential and are still preferred for...
Burning reduced Actinobacteriota and Firmicutes but increased Proteobacteria. Rhizosphere networks were denser, but burning reduced their overall connectivity. Burnt straw increased specialist and generalist taxa, especially in the rhizosphere. Straw management significantly influences soil microbial dynamics, shaping biodiversity and resistance in agroecosystems. This study investigated how distinct straw management practices...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus sp. shapes the rhizosphere bacteriome of prickly pear cactus under water deficitNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Prickly pear cactus ( Nopalea cochenillifera L.) plays a central role in sustaining forage production in semiarid environments, yet prolonged drought associated with climate change increasingly constrains its performance. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), including Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus spp., are recognized for enhancing plant tolerance to water limitation, but their influence on the rhi...
Cortical volumetry and longitudinal cognitive changes in Parkinson’s disease: insights from the COPPADIS cohortNARA Subscribed
Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
Actions to strengthen the contribution of small farms and small food businesses to food security in EuropeNARA Subscribed
This study stems from a participatory foresight exercise conducted in nine Mediterranean, Baltic, Nordic and Eastern European regions, aiming to strengthen the role of small farms and small food businesses in ensuring food security. A wide range of stakeholders participated by attending workshops. They represented farmers’ organisations, food businesses, consumers’ organisations, NGOs, researchers, extension services, professi...
Measuring healthy ageing: current and future toolsNARA Subscribed
Human ageing is a complex, multifactorial process characterised by physiological damage, increased risk of age-related diseases and inevitable functional deterioration. As the population of the world grows older, placing significant strain on social and healthcare resources, there is a growing need to identify reliable and easy-to-employ markers of healthy ageing for early detection of ageing trajectories and disease risk.
