Robust estimates of the magnitude of protected species bycatch are essential for effective fisheries management and marine conservation. Existing bycatch estimation methods typically struggle to accurately and precisely estimate the bycatch of rare species as a result of the statistical assumptions necessary to overcome infrequent encounters and, often, low observer coverage. We compared the widely used Horvitz–Thompson design...
Understanding how marine species tolerate ocean acidification (OA) is critical for predicting biological responses to ocean change, as well as impacts on the ecosystems and industries that rely upon them. Snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ) are both a major fishery resource in the Bering Sea and an important component of high-latitude marine food webs. Experimental work suggests that snow crab are relatively tolerant of OA, but...
Huron Chipper a Broadly Adapted Chip-Processing Variety with Long-Term Storage Potential and Resistance to Late Blight and Common ScabNARA Subscribed
Huron Chipper is a high yielding round white chip-processing variety with resistance to late blight ( Phytophthora infestans ) and tolerance to common scab ( Streptomyces scabies ). Selected from a cross between the Michigan State University breeding lines MSQ070-1 and MSR156-7, it was designated MSW485-2 during its initial evaluation and development. Huron Chipper is high yielding and broadly adapted, showing equal or better...
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...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...

Blackberry, an Attractive Deep Purple Potato Variety with Resistance to Common Scab and Extreme Resistance to Potato Virus YNARA Subscribed
Blackberry is a tablestock variety with uniquely deep purple skin and flesh. The tubers have an attractive, uniform, round shape with common scab resistance and low incidence of internal defects. It also carries the Rysto marker for extreme resistance to potato virus Y. When baked or microwaved, the tuber flesh is a brilliant deep purple with an enjoyable mild taste. It was selected in 2011 from a cross between two breeding li...
Manistee, a new Round-White Early to Mid-Season Maturing Potato Variety with Excellent Long-Term Storage PotentialNARA Subscribed
Manistee is a round white chip-processing potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) variety developed for long-term storage. Evaluated as MSL292-A, Manistee is a selection from a cross between Snowden and the chip-processing breeding line MSH098-2. The tubers of Manistee are compressed, round with shallow eyes and early to mid-season maturity. Field testing and on-farm trials show that this variety has high yield potential with specific gr...
Petoskey A High Gravity Chip-Processing Variety with Long-term Storage Potential and Resistance to Common ScabNARA Subscribed
Petoskey is a high specific gravity round white chip-processing potato variety with resistance to common scab ( Streptomyces scabies ). It was selected from a cross between Beacon Chipper and the breeding line MSG227-2, and designated MSV030-4 during the trialling phase of its development. This variety has high yield potential with attractive round, uniform tubers with netted skin. Five years of field testing in Michigan demon...
Mackinaw is a disease resistant round white chip-processing potato with resistance to potato virus Y (PVY), late blight ( Phytophthora infestans ), and tolerance to common scab ( Streptomyces scabies ). Mackinaw also carries the TG689 marker for the H1 resistance gene to golden cyst nematode ( Globodera rostochiensis ) race Ro1. Designated as MSX540-4 during the trialling phase of its development, it was selected from a cross...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
