Developmental stage‐dependent effects of perceived predation risk on nestling tree swallows ( Tachycineta bicolor )NARA Subscribed
The risk of predation directly affects the physiology, behavior, and fitness of wild birds. Strong social connections with conspecifics could help individuals recover from a stressful experience such as a predation event; however, competitive interactions also have the potential to exacerbate stress. Few studies have investigated the interaction between environmental stressors and the social landscape in wild bird populations....
Avoiding lead-time bias by estimating stage-specific proportions of cancer and non-cancer deathsNARA Subscribed
Purpose Understanding how stage at cancer diagnosis influences cause of death, an endpoint that is not susceptible to lead-time bias, can inform population-level outcomes of cancer screening. Methods Using data from 17 US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries for 1,154,515 persons aged 50–84 years at cancer diagnosis in 2006–2010, we evaluated proportional causes of death by cancer type and uniformly classifie...
The fate of genes that cross species boundaries after a major hybridization event in a natural mosquito populationNARA Subscribed
Animal species are able to acquire new genetic material via hybridization and subsequent introgression. However, little is known about how foreign genomic material is incorporated into a population over time and what genes are susceptible to introgression. Here, we follow the closely related mosquito sister species Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in a sympatric natural population in Mali at multiple time points spanni...
Consulting Forestry / Certification and Ecosystem ServicesNARA Subscribed
45The industrialization of the United States throughout the 19th century resulted in the exploitation of millions of acres of timberland across the country. Logging during that era was described by critics as “cut out and get out” because the land was usually abandoned after the merchantable timber was exhausted. Concern about future timber supplies and the effect of logging on watersheds spurred the development of professiona...
