High‐Throughput Sequencing in Aquaculture Disease Investigations: Challenges and Opportunities for ImplementationNARA Subscribed
The current generation of sequencing technologies can produce terabases of data with exceptional accuracy and speed, at a fraction of the cost of older methods. Despite this unprecedented power, adoption into aquaculture health management presents several challenges, including identifying where such capability may be optimally deployed. Here we synthesise discussions from a structured expert workshop held at the 2025 Aotearoa...
Passive acoustic monitoring as a tool for early detection of invasive animal species: a systematic review and a case studyNARA Subscribed
Invasive animal species are spreading rapidly across the globe, creating an urgent need for efficient early-detection and monitoring tools. Passive acoustic monitoring has become an established method in biodiversity research, but its application to invasive species monitoring has been less systematically explored. Here, we combine a systematic literature review with a field-based case study to evaluate the potential of passiv...
Ammonoids from the Dasberg Event Interval (upper Famennian) of Jebel Ouaoufilal (Tafilalt, Anti-Atlas, southeastern Morocco)NARA Subscribed
A deeply weathered, hypoxic shale package with originally pyritic ammonoids represents the upper Famennian Dasberg Event Interval (basal Dasbergian, Famennian UD V-A 1 , Costaclymenia Genozone) at the Jebel Ouaoufilal (eastern Amessoui Syncline, southern Tafilalt, SE Morocco). It contains abundant small-sized goniatites and clymeniids, with some dominant genera ( Erfoudites, Felisporadoceras, Costaclymenia ) and moderately com...
INSTINCT: a flow-based open-source PNT framework for satellite navigation and sensor fusionNARA Subscribed
INS toolkit for integrated navigation concepts and training (INSTINCT) is an open-source positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) framework for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) navigation and sensor fusion written in C++. It uses flow-based programming to encapsulate functionality, enforce clean interfaces and promote reusability. Not only multi-constellation, multi-frequency single point positioning (SPP) and real-ti...
Key message We link key aspects of land plant reproductive evolution and detail how successive molecular changes leading to novel tissues and organs require co-evolution of communication systems between tissues. Abstract The transition of water-dependent reproduction of algae to mechanisms with very limited water dependence in many land plant lineages allowed plants to colonize diverse terrestrial environments, leading to the...
Climate‐driven shifts in herbivores, temperature, and nutrient runoff threaten coastal ecosystem resilience. However, ecological resilience, particularly for foundation species, remains poorly understood due to the scarcity of field experiments conducted across appropriate spatial and temporal scales that investigate multiple stressors. This study evaluates the resilience of a widespread tropical marine plant (turtlegrass) to...
