In a rapidly warming Arctic, genetic variation might serve to buffer organisms against the effects of environmental change, such as sea ice loss and ocean warming. Yet, this concept remains largely unexplored because comprehensive genome‐wide studies across the full ranges of Arctic marine taxa are rare. Bowhead whales ( Balaena mysticetus ) have a strong association with sea ice and polar water masses, a long history of human...
Integrating ecosystem services and life cycle assessment: a framework accounting for local and global (socio-)environmental impactsNARA Subscribed
Purpose Human activities put pressure on our natural ecosystems in various ways, such as globally through the spread of emissions or locally through the degradation of species-rich landscapes. However, life cycle assessment (LCA) studies that integrate ecosystem services (ES) are still in the minority because of intrinsic differences in data, modelling, and interpretation. This study aims to overcome these challenges by develo...
Discordant iron-rich ultramafic pegmatites (IRUPs) intersect the UG2 chromitite at many places in the Bushveld Complex. The effects of IRUP interactions on the UG2 ore mineralogy and PGE grade are assessed at the Thaba mine, north-west Bushveld, based on a borehole profile through the UG2 layer and detailed analysis of mineral textures and compositional variations across the UG2-IRUP contacts using micro-XRF element mapping. T...
Sea‐level variations have influenced the demographic history of estuarine and freshwater fishes of the coastal plain of Paraná, BrazilNARA Subscribed
This study surveyed the mitochondrial haplotype diversity of nine freshwater fish species and two estuarine–marine species from the coastal basins and drainages of the highland plateaus of Paraná, Brazil. Portions of the cytochrome b gene or the control region were sequenced. The demographic history of each species was inferred using the Bayesian skyline method, mismatch distribution analysis and statistical neutrality tests....
The extent that natural lakes in the United States of America have been changed by cultural eutrophicationNARA Subscribed
We used paleolimnological data for 240 lakes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) 2007 National Lakes Assessment to estimate the extent that natural lakes in the coterminous United States have been changed by anthropogenic activities. In order to detect cultural eutrophication, we analyzed data on diatom‐inferred concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), specific conductance (SC), and pH...
The walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus ) is in some current systematic schemes divided into three subspecies: O. r. rosmarus in the North Atlantic, O. r. divergens in the North Pacific and O. r. laptevi in the Laptev Sea. These three subspecies have been described as differing in body size, but the taxonomic status of O. r. laptevi is disputed. The current study applies molecular and morphometric methods to assess the taxonomic status...
Asiatic Clams are common in brackish and fresh water in Asia, and they were introduced into North America in 1924 and have now spread throughout the continent. During the last two decades they have been reported in Europe, but the number of species here is uncertain. Populations of Corbicula from France and the Netherlands were analysed morphologically and genetically to quantify the degree of species and/or population differe...
