A Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of Communication Difficulties in Friedreich Ataxia: COMATAX.NARA Subscribed
Background and Objectives: Friedreich ataxia (FA) causes progressive impairment of communication due to gradual deterioration of speech, associated with impaired hearing, socio-cognitive and language skills. There is an urgent need to investigate the impact of this multiparametric alteration on patients’ lives. Therefore, the COMunication and ATAXia measure (COMATAX) was developed and validated in French and German. Methods: I...
Climate change threatens biodiversity when species cannot tolerate, adapt to, or track shifting environmental conditions to stay within their climatic niches. A major unresolved question is whether and how species' genetic diversity modulates these dynamics, buffering against range contractions or facilitating range expansions. To test this, we integrated the largest global databases of species range shifts and genetic diversi...
Bringing traits back into the equation: A roadmap to understand species redistributionNARA Subscribed
Ecological and evolutionary theories have proposed that species traits should be important in mediating species responses to contemporary climate change; yet, empirical evidence has so far provided mixed evidence for the role of behavioral, life history, or ecological characteristics in facilitating or hindering species range shifts. As such, the utility of trait‐based approaches to predict species redistribution under climate...
Achieving conservation outcomes in plant mitigation translocations: the need for global standardsNARA Subscribed
Many countries have legislation intended to limit or offset the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and development on threatened plants. Translocations are often integral to those mitigation policies. When translocation is used exclusively to mitigate development impacts, it is often termed a ‘mitigation translocation.’ However, both the terminology and processes vary regarding interpretation and application, resulting in inc...
FishShapes v1: Functionally relevant measurements of teleost shape and size on three dimensionsNARA Subscribed
Teleost fishes account for 96% of all fish species and exhibit a spectacular variety of body forms. Teleost lineages range from deep bodied to elongate (e.g., eels, needlefish), laterally compressed (e.g., ribbonfish) to globular (e.g., pufferfish), and include uniquely shaped lineages such as seahorses, flatfishes, and ocean sunfishes. Adaptive body shape convergence within fishes has long been hypothesized but the nature of...
Conservation overstretch and long‐term decline of wildlife and tourism in the Central African savannasNARA Subscribed
When in 2010 the world's governments pledged to increase protected area coverage to 17% of the world's land surface, several Central African countries had already set aside 25% of their northern savannas for conservation. To evaluate the effectiveness of this commitment, we analyzed the results of 68 multispecies surveys conducted in the seven main savanna national parks in Central Africa (1960–2017). We also assembled informa...
Main conclusion Anatomical, metabolic and microbial factors were identified that contribute to sequential freezing in wheat leaves and likely contribute to supercooling in the youngest leaves and potentially meristematic regions. Abstract Infrared thermography (IR) has been used to observe wheat leaves freezing independently and in an age-related sequence with older leaves freezing first. To determine mechanisms that might exp...
