Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disease with multiple subtypes, yet all are characterized by the progressive dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which ultimately results in vision impairment and blindness. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma; however, it is neither necessary nor sufficient for glaucomatous neurodegeneration, as patients can exhibit high IOP without...
Purpose Hypohydration of ≥ 2% body mass loss (BML) can impair cycling performance in the heat; however, it remains unclear whether this is primarily due to the body water deficit itself or the concomitant, typically observed increase in serum sodium concentration (S [Na + ] ). To disentangle these effects, we examined the performance effects of 60% (60FR) vs. 80% (80FR) fluid replacement, designed to achieve > 2% vs < 2% BML,...
A Niche for Nasty Nippers: Exploring Harvest Management for Control of Invasive Asian Paddle Crabs in Aotearoa New ZealandNARA Subscribed
The invasive Asian paddle crab Charybdis japonica continues to expand its range across northern Aotearoa New Zealand, raising ecological, social, and economic concerns. This study theoretically assesses whether harvest‐based management—potentially including commercial, recreational, or customary fisheries—could contribute to population suppression. Five key factors were examined: consumer demand, fisher willingness to supply,...
Ontogeny of escape response and body shape in threespine stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus L.)NARA Subscribed
Escape responses in fishes provide insight into accelerative motions and behavioural response times of these animals, linking numerous fitness‐related traits. We sought to connect escape response performance to genotype and phenotype across ontogenetic stages within a single population of threespine stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) to determine if a gene of major effect ( ectodysplasin ; Eda ) on adaptive lateral armou...
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...
