High Site Fidelity and Elevated δ¹⁵N in Bonefish (Albula vulpes) Suggest Localized Wastewater Stress in a Marine National ParkNARA Subscribed
Coastal zones are subjected to many anthropogenic stresses that operate on multiple spatial scales. Understanding how these stressors interact with the movement and resource ecology of mobile species is critical for effective conservation and management. Biscayne National Park (BNP) is adjacent to Miami (U.S.) and supports an economically important recreational fishery for bonefish ( Albula vulpes ). Within BNP, the western re...
Continental Drivers of Population‐Level Intraspecific Trait Variability in Salamanders, Birds, and Small MammalsNARA Subscribed
Aim Intraspecific trait variability (ITV) is a key component of biodiversity because it informs how organisms respond to abiotic and biotic conditions. Understanding how the variability among individuals within a population (population‐level ITV) changes along environmental gradients offers insight into how local processes contribute to broad‐scale biodiversity patterns. Here, we examine how climate and species‐richness intera...
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and...
Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguillaNARA Subscribed
Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths. Non‐lethal tools for accurate sex identification in this species are therefore required. Here,...
Increases in invertebrate abundance and shifts in assemblage composition following rodent eradication on Lord Howe IslandNARA Subscribed
Invasive rodents represent one of the most serious threats to island ecosystems, affecting a wide range of native plants, vertebrates and invertebrates. While nearly ubiquitous on human-modified islands, the last four decades have seen the advent of targeted rodent eradications, which have generally resulted in positive impacts for biodiversity. Invertebrates, which are crucial to the functioning of island ecosystems, are know...
Expanding insights into plant rhabdovirus diversity through the discovery of viruses representing 32 putative novel speciesNARA Subscribed
Plant-infecting rhabdoviruses (family Rhabdoviridae , subfamily Betarhabdovirinae ) include several viruses that cause important crop diseases and are subject to phytosanitary regulation. Despite their agricultural and ecological importance, the diversity of plant rhabdoviruses and their impact on plant health remain poorly understood. Here, we report 32 tentative novel species of plant-infecting rhabdoviruses, identified via...
Building trust in the integration of artificial intelligence into chemical risk assessment: findings from the 2024 ECETOC workshopNARA Subscribed
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing chemical risk assessment, enabling faster, more comprehensive, and potentially more ethical assessments. The application of AI in chemical risk assessment refers to both generative and predictive algorithms encompassing machine learning, to analyse complex chemical, biological, and environmental data and provide insights into adverse effect potential for humans and ecosy...
Organic matter respiration stoichiometry in the Arctic Ocean is linked to shifts in plankton community compositionNARA Subscribed
The global rate of ocean deoxygenation may be influenced by the molar ratio of dissolved oxygen to organic carbon consumed during microbial respiration. However, respiration stoichiometry and its environmental controls are not fully understood due to sparse direct measurements and limited global coverage. Here, we measured surface concentrations of particulate chemical oxygen demand, particulate organic carbon, and particulate...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
