A method to identify positive tipping points to accelerate low-carbon transitions and actions to trigger themNARA Subscribed
Meeting the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to “well below 2 °C” requires a radical acceleration of action, as the global economy is decarbonising at least five times too slowly. Tipping points, where low-carbon transitions become self-propelling, could be key to achieving the necessary acceleration. We deem these normatively ‘positive’, because they can limit considerable, inequitable harms from global warming and hel...
With an area covering just under 1 million km 2 , Australia’s Coral Sea Marine Park (CSMP) is among the largest marine protected areas globally. Yet, the demersal deep-reef fish fauna of the CSMP remains poorly described, due in part to its remote location, as well as its sheer size, much of which is inaccessible below conventional SCUBA diving depths. Recent remotely operated vehicle (ROV) explorations conducted by the Schmid...

Applying genomics in regulatory toxicology: a report of the ECETOC workshop on omics threshold on non-adversityNARA Subscribed
In a joint effort involving scientists from academia, industry and regulatory agencies, ECETOC’s activities in Omics have led to conceptual proposals for: (1) A framework that assures data quality for reporting and inclusion of Omics data in regulatory assessments; and (2) an approach to robustly quantify these data, prior to interpretation for regulatory use. In continuation of these activities this workshop explored and iden...
Non-Linear Device Head Coupling and Temporal Delays in Large Animal Acceleration Models of Traumatic Brain InjuryNARA Subscribed
Accurate characterization of head kinematics following an external blow represents a fundamental aspect of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. The majority of previous large animal studies have assumed an equivalent relationship between the device delivering the impulsive load and subsequent head kinematics rather than performing direct measurement (sensors or videography). The current study therefore examined factors affec...
A hidden Markov model for estimating age‐specific survival when age and size are uncertainNARA Subscribed
Estimates of age‐specific survival probabilities are needed for age‐structured population models and to inform conservation decisions. However, determining the age of individuals in wildlife populations is often problematic. We present a hidden Markov model for estimating age‐specific survival from capture–recapture or capture–recapture–recovery data when age is unknown and indicators of age, such as size and growth layer coun...
The ENIGMA sports injury working group:– an international collaboration to further our understanding of sport-related brain injuryNARA Subscribed
Sport-related brain injury is very common, and the potential long-term effects include a wide range of neurological and psychiatric symptoms, and potentially neurodegeneration. Around the globe, researchers are conducting neuroimaging studies on primarily homogenous samples of athletes. However, neuroimaging studies are expensive and time consuming, and thus current findings from studies of sport-related brain injury are often...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
