Neutrophil-related gene expression profile is associated with future paediatric bronchiectasis exacerbationsNARA Subscribed
Acute respiratory exacerbations in bronchiectasis are important as they impair quality of life and are associated with accelerated lung function decline. Yet, no validated methods exist to identify children at increased risk of exacerbations. We therefore determined if peripheral blood gene expression (GE) signatures can identify those at risk of an impending exacerbation. Thirty-one children with bronchiectasis had RNA extrac...
Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
Aim The temperature‐size rule is often described as a reduction in ectothermic asymptotic or maximum body size with warming. Although this coincides with the expectation that faster growth under warming would lead to larger sizes early in life but smaller sizes later in life, there remain few tests of changes in size across ontogeny. Here, we use > 99,000 observations of weight‐at‐age of commercially important fishes over 25 y...
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...
Genome‐wide associations of leaf spectral variation in MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuataNARA Subscribed
The application of in‐field and aerial spectroscopy to assess functional and phylogenetic variation in plants has led to novel ecological insights and supports global assessments of plant biodiversity. Understanding how plant genetic variation influences reflectance spectra will help harness this potential for biodiversity monitoring and improve understanding of why plants differ in functional responses to environmental change...
Bottom‐Up Interactions in State‐Space Age‐Structured Models Using Mass‐Balance DynamicsNARA Subscribed
Age‐structured models are used worldwide to regulate fisheries. These models typically ignore top‐down interactions (predation affecting natural mortality) and bottom‐up interactions (consumption affecting individual growth, reproduction, or survival), whereas multispecies catch‐at‐age models often incorporate top‐down but not bottom‐up interactions. While Ecopath‐with‐Ecosim (EwE) incorporates both top‐down and bottom‐up inte...
