Hierarchical Habitat Selection by Coyotes: Scale‐Dependent Responses to Land Cover, Prey and HarvestNARA Subscribed
Aim Across much of the globe, landscape modification and the reduction of large carnivores have facilitated the expansion and growth of mesocarnivore populations. An understanding of the factors shaping the distribution and activity of mesocarnivores in highly modified systems lacking large carnivores can help ecologists predict the potential ecological impacts of such human‐induced population increases. We examined the site u...
Eastern North Atlantic Strandings Validate Genetic Patterns in Pygmy and Dwarf Sperm Whales (Kogiidae)NARA Subscribed
Pygmy ( Kogia breviceps ) and dwarf ( Kogia sima ) sperm whales are among the least studied cetaceans due to their elusive behavior and low detectability at sea. Molecular approaches are therefore essential to clarify their taxonomy, population structure, and conservation status. We present new mitochondrial DNA data from stranded K. breviceps and K. sima specimens collected across the eastern North Atlantic, a region previous...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
The invasive brown seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae represents an ecological challenge in European and Mediterranean coasts. We propose valorizing the biomass collected by incorporating it as a feed ingredient into sustainable aquafeeds. This study evaluated the effects of administering a pulse of biotechnologically treated R. okamurae biomass on muscle composition, gene expression, and intestinal microbiota in the mullet, Chelon...
Bioacoustic Baselines for Intact ForestsNARA Subscribed
Forests are at the frontline of both climate and biodiversity crises: forests are fundamental to the regulation of Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and tropical forests alone harbour over half of all terrestrial species. Consequently, forests are at the centre of global efforts to both prevent extinctions of species and sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. Most carbon sequestration initiatives do not measure...
Progress status of the NUSES Space MissionNARA Subscribed
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...
Disruption of Dopamine Homeostasis by PsychostimulantsNARA Subscribed
Dopamine is a catecholamine that acts as a modulatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Although dopamine levels are kept within appropriate ranges through various mechanisms, they can be disrupted by multiple factors, including external psychostimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine. Disruption contributes to cognitive deficits and emotional dysregulation that is associated with psychostimulant-use disorde...
