Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare markers of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) measured with Gradient Echo (GE, T2*w) and Spin‐Echo (SE, T2w) BOLD fMRI with quantitative physiological CVR measured using ASL. Methods CVR, the ability of blood vessels to dilate and increase cerebral blood flow (CBF), can be investigated with ASL fMRI but has a low signal‐to ...

ABSTRACT Purpose We aim to assess the reliability of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) obtained simultaneously from a novel multi‐band pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (M2‐PCASL) sequence and hypercapnic gas challenge, to examine factors influencing CBF variability, and to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Free‐Breathing Magnetization Transfer Imaging of the Lung at 0.55 T Using bSTAR
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a clinically applicable method for magnetization transfer (MT) imaging of the lung at 0.55 T. Methods MT imaging of the chest was explored in healthy volunteers at 0.55 T using a self‐gated 3D half‐radial dual‐echo balanced steady‐state free precession sequence (bSTAR), a 2D multi‐slice gradient echo method (GRE) acquired in

The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...
