Understanding how demographic dynamics interact with environmental heterogeneity is central to explaining patterns of genomic variation in the marine realm. Indo‐Pacific bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops aduncus ) occur along most of the Australian coastline, from tropical to temperate waters, encompassing pronounced differences in temperature, salinity, chlorophyll‐a concentration and ocean currents. Using whole‐genome sequencin...
Industrial Pollution and Health in Louisiana: A Systematic Review of Quantitative and Qualitative StudiesNARA Subscribed
Purpose of Review Louisiana has one of the largest concentrations of petrochemical industry in the USA. Many studies have assessed patterns of industrial pollution and health in Louisiana; we aim to systematically review this evidence. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, APA PsycInfo, and GreenFILE for peer-reviewed papers published 1999–2024 that reported geographical variation in health or industrial p...
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...
Unravelling driving conditions of rock and ice avalanches and resulting cascading processes in High Mountain AsiaNARA Subscribed
Amplified climate warming and the tectonically active landscape in High Mountain Asia (HMA) have led to the occurrence of 60 well-documented large rock and/or ice avalanches (RIAs), resulting in at least 1366 fatalities and extensive negative impacts on ecosystems, water resources, infrastructure, and social stability. In this study, we analyzed historical RIAs in HMA using detailed topographic, climatic, glacier, permafrost,...
Validation and otolith-mass prediction of age and growth for cardinal snapper Pristipomoides macrophthalmus of the Caribbean SeaNARA Subscribed
Cardinal snapper Pristipomoides macrophthalmus is a commercially important, but commonly misidentified, deepwater species in artisanal and semi-industrial fisheries throughout the Caribbean Sea. As with many tropical deepwater fishes, little is known about the biology or ecology of the species. Bomb radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating was applied to cardinal snapper sagittal otoliths collected from the waters of Belize and Honduras dur...
Demographic History and Adaptive Evolution of Indo‐Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins ( Tursiops aduncus ) in Western AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Demographic processes can substantially affect a species' response to changing ecological conditions, necessitating the combined consideration of genetic responses to environmental variables and neutral genetic variation. Using a seascape genomics approach combined with population demographic modelling, we explored the interplay of demographic and environmental factors that shaped the current population structure in Indo‐Pacif...
Trends in climate adaptation solutions for mountain regionsNARA Subscribed
This study addresses the critical need for documented adaptation progress in mountain regions by reviewing recently implemented or ongoing adaptation solutions collected from the Adaptation at Altitude Solutions Portal (A@A Solution Portal). Using a data driven approach, the research explores the characteristics, feasibility, and transformative potential of these solutions. Findings reveal a predominant focus on addressing dro...
With new cycles of global environmental assessments (GEAs) recently starting, including GEO-7 and IPCC AR7, there is increasing need for artificial intelligence (AI) to support in synthesising the rapidly growing body of evidence for authors and users of these assessments. In this article, we explore recent advances in AI and connect them to the different stages of GEAs showing how some processes can be automatised and streaml...
Short-term salicylic acid application induces the expression of GPPS and NEPS1 in catnipNARA Subscribed
The catnip plant, Nepeta cataria L., produces bioactive iridoid monoterpenes known as nepetalactones. These monoterpenes follow a noncanonical biosynthetic route starting as isoprene monomers in the methylerythritol (MEP) pathway after condensation via geranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GPPS) and later cyclization through the iridoid pathway via nepetalactol-related short-chain dehydrogenase enzymes (NEPS). Nepetalactones exhibit...
