Future directions in oil spill modelingNARA Subscribed
Trait‐based approaches are key to understanding eco‐evolutionary processes but rarely account for animal behaviour despite its central role in ecosystem dynamics. We propose integrating behaviour into trait‐based ecology through movement traits—standardised and comparable measures of animal movement derived from biologging data, such as daily displacements or range sizes. Accounting for animal behaviour will advance trait‐base...
Beyond strength: dietary nitrate augments self-selected functional mobility after resistance training in middle-aged adultsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...
Combined resistance mechanisms leading to high-level of cefiderocol resistance among NDM-like producing E. coli ST167 clinical isolatesNARA Subscribed
Summary Purpose A series of NDM-producing Escherichia coli ST167 clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to cefiderocol (FDC), with no previous exposure to this antibiotic, were analyzed in this study. Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of resistance patterns (Rapid Cefiderocol NP test and MIC determination) were performed for all tested isolates. Their entire genomes were sequenced by us...
Phosphorus (P) is known as a major limiting factor of crop yields at the global scale. Previous estimates of the global P limitation are either based on statistical approaches or on complex global gridded crop models. Both failed to distinguish between P and the other limiting factors. Global gridded crop models, despite their complexities, omitted key mechanisms such as soil P dynamics or plant adjustments to P limitation (e....
Much of life on Earth is at the mercy of currents and flow. Residence time ( τ ) estimates how long organisms and resources remain in a system based on the ratio of volume ( V ) to flow rate ( Q ). Short τ should promote immigration but limit species establishment, while long τ should favour species that survive on limited resources. Theory suggests these opposing forces shape the abundance, diversity and function of flowing s...
In drylands, where water scarcity limits vascular plant growth, much of the primary production occurs at the soil surface. This is where complex macro‐ and microbial communities, in an intricate bond with soil particles, form biological soil crusts (biocrusts). Despite their critical role in regulating C and N cycling in dryland ecosystems, there is limited understanding of the fate of biologically fixed C and N from biocrusts...
Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass‐loss rate and stabilizationNARA Subscribed
The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large‐scale datasets. We buried 36,000 individual litterbags (tea bags) worldwide and found an overall negative correlation between initial mass‐loss rates and stabilization factors of plant‐derived carbon, using the Tea...
Metrics and Considerations for Evaluating How Forest Treatments Alter Wildfire Behavior and EffectsNARA Subscribed
The influence of forest treatments on wildfire effects is challenging to interpret. This is, in part, because the impact forest treatments have on wildfire can be slight and variable across many factors. Effectiveness of a treatment also depends on the metric considered. We present and define human–fire interaction, fire behavior, and ecological metrics of forest treatment effects on wildfire and discuss important consideratio...
Comparison of edoxaban and enoxaparin in a rat model of AlCl3-induced thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinusNARA Subscribed
Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an uncommon disease that is usually treated with anticoagulation (heparin, low-molecular heparin, or vitamin K-antagonists). We compared treatment with edoxaban, an oral factor Xa-antagonist, that has not been approved in patients with CSVT, with enoxaparin, a well-established therapy, in a rat model of CSVT. Fifty male Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups (10 animals each) and s...
The international neuroscience community is building the first comprehensive atlases of brain cell types to understand how the brain functions from a higher resolution, and more integrated perspective than ever before. In order to build these atlases, subsets of neurons (e.g. serotonergic neurons, prefrontal cortical neurons etc.) are traced in individual brain samples by placing points along dendrites and axons. Then, the tra...
