Managed forests, including plantation systems, play a vital and often underappreciated role in contributing to the global carbon sink and mitigating climate change, and determining the most effective mitigation strategies requires accounting methods that accurately assess the climate effects of forests. We use a dynamic life cycle assessment methodology to compare the climate effects of thirty-six forest management scenarios (...
Genes Versus Environment: Body Size Variation Among Recruitment Cohorts of Dungeness CrabNARA Subscribed
Understanding the drivers of phenotypic variation is key to disentangling the evolutionary and environmental forces that shape patterns of trait variation within and among populations. In Dungeness crab, settlement‐stage megalopae exhibit striking seasonal variation in body size, with early season cohorts consistently larger than later ones. This pattern may result from genetically distinct larval sources or environmentally in...
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...
Investigating the effects of biogenic amines on the dominance hierarchy in the small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarataNARA Subscribed
Biogenic amines are highly conserved across animal species and aid in the regulation of movement, behavior, motivation, temperature, blood pressure, and endocrine secretion. Within eusocial species, such as the honey bee Apis mellifera , biogenic amines are responsible for modulating traits associated with higher levels of sociality, such as division of labor. In Ceratina calcarata , a facultatively social bee species, mothers...
There is an urgent need for early and accurate biomarkers of neurodegenerative disorders. Due to the high innervation and accessibility of the skin, a skin biopsy is a minimally invasive method of detecting phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-α-syn) and assessing intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD). We analyzed biopsies taken from the back and the leg of patients with parkinsonian syndromes (Park.sy.), α-synucleinopathies, mu...

Examining Explicit Stereotype Perceptions of Colorectal Cancer Screening and Diagnosis in the Hispanic CommunityNARA Subscribed
Cancer is a leading cause of death among Hispanic people in the USA. One potential reason is low adherence to cancer screening guidelines, particularly for colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous research suggests that low CRC screening may be linked to negative stereotypes associated with cancer and CRC screening methods. The purpose of this study was to examine explicit stereotype perceptions of CRC screening and diagnosis in the...
First record of a piebald leucistic smallspotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula in a special area of conservation, UKNARA Subscribed
Colour aberrations are widely reported in vertebrates, but seldom for elasmobranchs. Shark trophic level varies ontogenetically and according to species, so atypical colouration may have implications for ecological fitness both as predator and prey. Here, we present, to our knowledge, the first and only record of a piebald leucistic smallspotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula from Welsh waters, specifically in the Cardigan Bay...

Four unusual mortality events of seabirds in the Patagonian Sea, 2000–2006: species affected and possible causesNARA Subscribed
The Patagonian Sea is a highly productive marine ecosystem and a hotspot for seabird diversity and density in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. Reports of unusual mortality events are relatively scarce in this region, likely due to under detection and investigation. In this study, we report on four unusual mortality events affecting seabirds in the Patagonian Sea from 2000 to 2006. Events 1 and 2 occurred at Golfo Nuevo and Chubut...
Furnace slags are potential new sources of critical metals. We undertook a micron- to nanoscale study that addresses speciation, distribution and associations of phases in air-cooled flash furnace (FF, oxidised) and electric furnace (EF, reduced) slags from the Olympic Dam mining-smelting-refinery operation. Results enable understanding of the behaviour and partitioning of critical metals between melt and cooling crystalline p...
