Coral transplantation is a key tool for reef restoration, yet high post-transplant mortality (particularly during early stages) continues to limit its effectiveness. Predation by corallivorous sea stars is a major cause of transplant loss, but the role of mutualistic crabs ( Trapezia spp. and Tetralia spp.) in mediating age- and size-dependent resistance remains poorly understood. Here, we experimentally tested whether the pro...
Purpose Catheter-based total renal denervation (TRDN) has recently gained FDA approval to lower blood pressure in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension. Current TRDN technologies indiscriminately destroy efferent (sympathetic) and afferent (sensory) renal nerves. However, preclinical studies suggest that the beneficial effects of TRDN may be due to ablation of afferent, rather than efferent, renal nerves. We developed...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Background and aims Intercrops offer multiple advantages over sole crops. The aim of our study was to characterize root growth and interactions in spring wheat/faba bean intercrops to better understand belowground interactions that govern resource capture. Materials and methods A field experiment was conducted with one faba bean cultivar and two spring wheat cultivars sown at three sowing densities, defining three intercroppin...
Sulfo-click is a chemoselective and biocompatible reaction between thioacids and sulfonyl azides that forms highly versatile N -acylsulfonamides, interesting bioisosteres of carboxylic acids. This reaction is useful for chemists and biologists and has many applications in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, bioconjugation chemistry, and chemical biology. Sulfo-click amidations have been extensively used in kinetic target-guid...
Pixel walking along the boreal forest–Arctic tundra ecotone: Large scale ground‐truthing of satellite‐derived greenness ( NDVI )NARA Subscribed
In this Technical Advance, we describe a novel method to improve ecological interpretation of remotely sensed vegetation greenness measurements that involved sampling 24,395 Landsat pixels (30 m) across 639 km of Alaska's central Brooks Range. The method goes well beyond the spatial scale of traditional plot‐based sampling and thereby more thoroughly relates ground‐based observations to satellite measurements. Our example data...
