Parasites play a critical yet understudied role in Arctic ecosystems, particularly within key subsistence species such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). As the Arctic undergoes rapid climate-driven change, establishing baseline parasite biodiversity is essential for monitoring ecological shifts and anticipating emerging health and conservation concerns. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of Arct...
Coral acclimatization to novel, co-varying stressors is associated with fitness trade-offsNARA Subscribed
Reef-building corals are under pressure to acclimatize and/or adapt to multiple co-occurring stressors, including climate change and declines in water quality. However, their capacity to do so is largely unknown. Yet, some corals naturally persist in habitats with multi-stressor conditions which can provide crucial insight into coral adaptive capacity under future ocean conditions. To assess the role of phenotypic plasticity a...
The Impact of a Community Partner Research Training ProgramNARA Subscribed
As part of its mission to address disparities in cancer outcomes and research participation, the Philadelphia Communities Conquering Cancer (PC3) coalition conducted a Community Partner Research Training program. The goal was to increase knowledge about cancer research and to prepare community members to partner on research activities. Eighteen out of 36 applicants were selected for a 5-week training program on research method...
Dune Russet (COTX08063-2Ru) is the first French fry russet potato cultivar released by the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program. It derives from a cross made by the Colorado State University Potato Program between Premier Russet and A99073-1 and was subsequently selected and advanced by the Texas Program. Dune Russet has oblong potato tubers with light russet skin texture and white flesh. It is characterized by having excellent F...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...
Using reflectance to measure chlorophyll a in corals: calibration and implications of skeletal optical propertiesNARA Subscribed
Climate change-driven coral bleaching and associated chlorophyll (Chl) loss increasingly threaten coral reefs, highlighting the need for non-invasive, cost-effective tools to assess corals’ physiological condition. Researchers have explored the reflectance-based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a proxy for Chl a . However, almost no calibration curves exist to date; thus it remains unknown if the relationship b...
Moose ( Alces alces ) are an iconic symbol of contemporary Rocky Mountain ecosystems, and their growing abundance in Colorado and other portions of the Southern Rockies has inspired debate around their regional prehistory prior to their 20th century translocation. The Early Holocene biogeography of moose in North America is poorly characterised, due in part to their life history and logistical obstacles to their archaeozoologi...
