As aquaculture production has grown to meet rising demand for healthy seafood, the demand for aquaculture feed has increased substantially, placing greater pressure on finite marine ingredient resources. Periods of fish oil shortage, such as during the 2023–2024 El Niño, can reduce dietary levels of the essential omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), negatively affecting salmon farming...
Loss and Transformation of Coastal Wetlands due to Global Change in the Conterminous United States: Past, Present, and FutureNARA Subscribed
Coastal wetlands are being transformed by global change, impacting the ecological and societal benefits provided by these ecosystems. Synthesizing knowledge of historical and expected future transformations in coastal wetlands can help inform forward-looking planning and stewardship efforts. Here, we review anticipated future ecological transformations in coastal wetlands of the conterminous United States and contrast them wit...
Coexistence of Photosynthetic Marine Microorganisms, Viruses and Grazers: Towards Integration in Ocean Ecosystem ModelsNARA Subscribed
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. These predators coexist despite competing for the same microorganisms. Here, we develop a community model of photosynthetic microorganisms, grazers and viruses that incorporates elemental quot...
World Trade Center Site Exposure Duration Is Associated with Hippocampal and Cerebral White Matter NeuroinflammationNARA Subscribed
Responders to the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks on 9/11/2001 inhaled toxic dust and experienced severe trauma for a prolonged period. Studies report that WTC site exposure duration is associated with peripheral inflammation and risk for developing early-onset dementia (EOD). Free Water Fraction (FWF) can serve as a biomarker for neuroinflammation by measuring in vivo movement of free water across neurons. The present case-c...
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are acknowledged as particularly vulnerable to extreme climate events; however, the realities for transport infrastructure and bridges are still poorly studied. Assessing bridges in this context can be challenging due to data scarcity, a lack of local standards, and uncertainty due to climate change. While bridges are designed to connect transport networks, they also carry energy, water, a...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Recognition and palaeoclimatic implications of late Quaternary niche glaciation in eastern LesothoNARA Subscribed
Geomorphic evidence of former glaciation in the high Drakensberg of southern Africa has proven controversial, with conflicting glacial and non‐glacial interpretations suggested for many landforms. This paper presents new geomorphological, sedimentological and micromorphological data, and glacier mass‐balance modelling for a site in the Leqooa Valley, eastern Lesotho, preserving what are considered to be moraines of a former ni...
