Insights into the mitochondrial genomes of Taenia tapewormsNARA Subscribed
Soil microbial activity is a key indicator of soil health, traditionally assessed using methods like enzymatic activity, community-level physiological profiling (CLPP), microbial biomass, and soil respiration. This study introduces isothermal microcalorimetry assessed with the CalScreener™ system as a novel tool for evaluating soil activity and validates its use in assessing the impact of anthropogenic pollutants like micropla...
That's So Last Season: Unraveling the Genomic Consequences of Fur Farming in Arctic Foxes ( Vulpes lagopus )NARA Subscribed
Humans have relied on animal fur for centuries, yet fur farming only began recently during the mid‐19th Century. Little is known about this incipient domestication or the genomic processes involved. Domestication may involve founder effects, population bottlenecks and low population size, which, when combined with intense artificial selection, lead to inbreeding, a limited gene pool and reduced fitness. The arctic fox ( Vulpes...
Teaching and learning about race, culture, and environment in a predominately white institutionNARA Subscribed
The environment and natural resource fields have traditionally centered western science, the scholarship of white men, and land conservation strategies that neglect historical inhabitants. These tenets have led to a narrow view of how conservation is defined and created challenges for BIPOC students and professionals to see themselves as full and equal participants in the environmental sciences. The Rubenstein School of Enviro...
Round rays (family: Urotrygonidae) are commonly caught as by‐catch by shrimp trawl fisheries in the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP). However, little information on their life history and catch species composition exists for most round ray species, preventing the evaluation of the impact of fishing on their populations. The mean size at sexual maturity ( DW 50 ), seasonal variation by maturity stages, and fecundity for two round...
Autism is a complex alteration in children’s developing nervous system that manifests in behavioral patterns that do not match those of typical subjects. Moreover, starting at puberty, these children may encounter problems regarding social interaction related to sexual encounters. As studies are scarce, we used the valproate model of autism in the zebrafish to contribute to the knowledge related to sexual behavior in this diso...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
In this paper, we derive upscaled equations for modeling biofilm growth in porous media. The resulting macroscale mathematical models consider permeable multi-species biofilm including water flow, transport, detachment and reactions. The biofilm is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), water, active bacteria and dead bacteria. The free flow is described by the Stokes and continuity equations, and the water flux...
Microdiversity and temporal dynamics of marine bacterial dimethylsulfoniopropionate genesNARA Subscribed
Summary Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an abundant organic sulfur metabolite produced by many phytoplankton species and degraded by bacteria via two distinct pathways with climate‐relevant implications. We assessed the diversity and abundance of bacteria possessing these pathways in the context of phytoplankton community composition over a 3‐week time period spanning September–October, 2014 in Monterey Bay, CA. The dmdA...
