Knowledge of the dietary composition of Atlantic marlins, especially for recently acknowledged species such as roundscale spearfish ( Tetrapturus georgii ), is limited, as sample access is constrained by international quotas and intermittent landing rates. A series of annual offshore recreational fishing tournaments target Atlantic blue marlin ( Makaira nigricans ), white marlin ( Kajikia albida ) and roundscale spearfish on t...
Multifrequency Electrical Impedance Myography Enhanced with Machine Learning for Screening Patients with Neuromuscular DisordersNARA Subscribed
Purpose We evaluated surface electrical impedance myography (EIM) enhanced with machine learning to serve as a new office-based screening tool for neuromuscular disease Methods EIM of nine muscles was successfully performed in 119 adults and 111 children (approximately half healthy and half diseased) for a total of 3158 individual muscle measurements. Multifrequency data were processed with feature engineering and classificati...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
A Functional Response in Resource Selection Links Multiscale Responses of a Large Carnivore to Human Mortality RiskNARA Subscribed
Theory suggests that animals make hierarchical, multiscale resource selection decisions to address the hierarchy of factors limiting their fitness. Ecologists have developed tools to link population‐level resource selection across scales; yet, theoretical expectations about the relationship between coarse‐ and fine‐scale selection decisions at the individual level remain elusive despite their importance to fitness. With GPS‐te...
Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group‐level processes such as subgroup formation and fission–fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing coh...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acute nitrate (NO 3 − )-rich beetroot juice ingestion on explosive and high-intensity exercise performance, oral microbiota composition, and cognitive flexibility (i.e., function), before and after maximal intermittent running exercise. Fifteen women team-sport athletes were assigned in a randomized, double-blind, crossover design to consume concentrated NO 3 – -deple...
Does visual or mechanosensory disruption influence risk assessment in coral reef fishes: a preliminary studyNARA Subscribed
Interpreting and responding to environmental cues from different modalities has survival value. In fish, the role of multimodal perception has been studied in regard to both foraging and risk assessment, with modalities including vision, olfaction, and mechanoreception via lateral lines. We studied reef fish boldness by placing novel objects that obstructed vision, lateral line use, or both into a coral reef environment with n...
