Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated disruption of mRNA localisation inhibits angiogenesisNARA Subscribed
mRNA localisation is a critical posttranscriptional mechanism that confers a spatiotemporal dimension to the control of gene expression. Among diverse outcomes, this process can result in compartmentalised protein synthesis and consequently, elicit localised cellular responses. Targeting mRNAs to their destination is often determined by localisation elements (LEs) contained in untranslated regions within targeted transcripts....
Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction from Eemian insect remains at Ejstrup, Denmark: Evidence for a riverine settingNARA Subscribed
The freshwater environments of the Eemian are well documented, although mostly focussed on lakes. Here, we present results from lake sediments of dark grey, laminated, organic‐rich medium sand, on top of very dark grey gyttja at the site of Ejstrup, west of Kolding, Denmark. Based on pollen counts, the sediments were biostratigraphically classified as mid‐Eemian. Despite the lake deposition, the assemblage of aquatic insect su...
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Polarisation is a key process in land systems, describing land-change trajectories within a region that simultaneously move in opposite directions, such as co-occurring agricultural intensification and abandonment. Land-system polarisation relates strongly to sustainability goals, with potentially positive or negative consequences depending on domain and context. Yet, we lack approaches for mapping polarisation, limiting our u...

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path ForwardNARA Subscribed
Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy. Underwater fish observation (UFObs) techniques, such as Underwater Visual Census (UVC), stereo‐Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo‐BRUV) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), play...
The 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa, Hawaiʻi: a synoptic and retrospective overview of the eruptionNARA Subscribed
Mauna Loa volcano erupted on November 27, 2022, after 38 years of quiescence, marking the first eruption of the world’s largest active volcano since 1984. Precursory activity was characterized by escalating seismicity and ground deformation, with increased unrest beginning in mid-September 2022. At 22:24 HST, tilt and seismic alarms alerted Hawaiian Volcano Observatory staff to escalating activity, signaling an imminent erupti...
Aim Mountain roads host plant communities that differ strongly from the adjacent natural vegetation. Besides the effect of propagule pressure, altered disturbance and soil processes, one of the reasons given for the strong influence of mountain roads on species distributions is a significantly altered soil thermal microclimate in the roadside compared to the adjacent vegetation, as a direct consequence of road disturbance. How...
The Black Array of Broadband Absolute Radiometers Earth Radiation Imager (BABAR-ERI) is a small, adaptable nadir-pointed pushbroom imager to measure Earth-leaving broadband radiance from 0.3 µm to 100 µm with higher information content than is currently measured by reducing radiometric uncertainty and enabling cloud-resolving spatial resolution. The three-instrument BABAR-ERI suite fits a 12U CubeSat form factor and contains c...
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...
