Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) are among the most important aquaculture species but are highly susceptible to Vibrio infections. Novel disease management strategies are necessary. Previous studies have reported that peracetic acid (PAA) is an effective disinfectant, but its application in shrimp aquaculture remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) of PAA at tw...
Soil and genotype-driven resource allocation trade-offs shape root exudation across crop speciesNARA Subscribed
Aims Root exudates play a central role in rhizosphere processes, many of which support plant growth. While increased exudation under abiotic stresses has been frequently linked to enhanced plant resilience, crop- and genotype- and soil-specific exudation patterns under non-stress conditions remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess how soil type and genotype influence root exudation in major and emerging European cr...
Early Imaging Biomarkers of Cartilage Strain After ACL Reconstruction Predict Patient Pain and Altered Knee LoadingNARA Subscribed
Purpose To investigate temporal evolution of cartilage strain and relaxometry following ACL reconstruction, and examine associations between MRI metrics, pain, and knee loading patterns during gait as potential early markers of cartilage degeneration. Methods Twenty-five participants (15 female, 10 male; mean age 25.6 years) undergoing ACL reconstruction completed MRI assessments at 6 and 12 month post-surgery, including displ...
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...
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...
Flavobacterium covae and virulent Aeromonas hydrophila are prevalent bacterial pathogens within the US catfish industry that can cause high mortality in production ponds. An assessment of in vivo bacterial coinfection with virulent A. hydrophila (ML09‐119) and F. covae (ALG‐00‐530) was conducted in juvenile channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ). Catfish were divided into seven treatments: (1) mock control; (2) and (3) high a...
Many bacterial pathogens impact the US catfish industry, and disease control can be challenging for producers. Columnaris disease in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , is primarily caused by Flavobacterium covae (formerly F. columnare ). Immunostimulants may enhance nonspecific immune responses and offer an alternative to antibiotic treatments in catfish. Furthermore, dietary protein sources and inclusions are also essenti...

Purpose of Review Environmental chemical exposures may disrupt child development, with long-lasting health impacts. To date, U.S. studies of early environmental exposures have been limited in size and diversity, hindering power and generalizability. With harmonized data from over 60,000 participants representing 69 pregnancy cohorts, the National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) P...
Aim Environmental change affects metacommunity structure both directly—via abiotic factors and dispersal that affect species occurrence—and indirectly—via complex interactions among co‐occurring species. We examined how the three main metacommunity factors—environmental conditions, spatial processes and species associations—affect metacommunity structure and whether responses are predictable in real‐world systems by using nove...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2022 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
An important driver behind introductions for aquaculture of alien fish species into Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) is a lack of knowledge about domestication suitability and specific culture requirements of indigenous taxa. Introductions may be appropriate in some circumstances, but in other circumstances, the associated risks may outweigh the benefits, so greater understanding of indigenous species' aquacult...
