Evaluation of the ability of a cargo-ship GNSS network to detect tsunamis generated in the Solomon Islands regionNARA Subscribed
The southwest Pacific is one of the most tsunami-prone regions worldwide, owing to its complex tectonic setting dominated by active subduction zones and frequent tsunamigenic earthquakes. Approximately one quarter of all recorded tsunamis originate from this region, including several events that have severely affected vulnerable coastal communities in the Solomon Islands. However, these events have been recorded by only a limi...
Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practiceNARA Subscribed
Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare. This study aims to evaluate the utility of expert elicitation for adaptive management in the New South Wales Saving our Species program in Australi...
Peripheral microRNA signature in genetic frontotemporal dementia—findings from the GENFI initiativeNARA Subscribed
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity, with approximately 40% of cases linked to hereditary genetic mutations, including MAPT , GRN , and C9ORF72 . Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cellular processes related to neurodegeneration and as potential biomarkers for FTD. However, their relevance in presymptomatic stag...
Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic changeNARA Subscribed
In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism). Much of what we know about the impacts of global change on species phenology and voltinism comes from recent decades; however, anthropogenic warming began cen...

Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
Remotely Sensed Fire Heterogeneity and Biomass Recovery Predicts Empirical Biodiversity ResponsesNARA Subscribed
Aim To compare field‐based evidence of plant and animal responses to fire with remotely sensed signals of fire heterogeneity and post‐fire biomass recovery. Location South‐eastern Australia; New South Wales. Time Period 2019–2022. Major Taxa Studied A total of 982 species of plants and animals, in eight taxonomic groups: amphibians, birds, fish, insects, mammals, molluscs, plants and reptiles. Methods We collated 545,223 plant...
Animal telemetry is maturing into a viable method for observing the ocean as it can be used to monitor both environmental conditions and biological metrics along the movement trajectories of marine animals. As part of the Cormorant Oceanography Project, we have augmented a biologging tag with an external fast response temperature sensor to collect ocean temperature profiles from the backs of foraging marine birds. Cormorants d...
Complementary value of molecular, phenotypic, and functional aging biomarkers in dementia predictionNARA Subscribed
DNA methylation age (MA), brain age (BA), and frailty index (FI) are putative aging biomarkers linked to dementia risk. We investigated their relationship and combined potential for prediction of cognitive impairment and future dementia risk using the ADNI database. Of several MA algorithms, DunedinPACE and GrimAge2, associated with memory, were combined in a composite MA alongside BA and a data-driven FI in predictive analyse...
Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
Introduction Seabirds and other insular birds are an important part of marine ecosystems and are increasingly threatened worldwide. Phenology, abundance, distribution, and breeding success are important baseline parameters needed to evaluate population trends and dynamics, identify biodiversity hotspots and potential breeding sites, and assess habitat selection. In the Red Sea basin, reliable and complete data on birds are lac...
