Phenmedipham has been used for weed management in European sugar beet for decades and is undergoing renewal evaluation. We evaluated its agronomic importance to demonstrate its critical role in European agriculture. Systematic evaluation across eight EU Member States representing 85% of European sugar beet cultivation area demonstrated that zero alternative herbicides were shortlisted despite 9–17 authorized active substances....
A history of chronic adolescent stress attenuates cued fear-potentiated startle in adult female Wistar ratsNARA Subscribed
Rationale Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a stress and trauma-related disorder that is largely characterized by hyperarousal to fear-based cues. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are key mediators of fear learning behaviors. Altered NMDA receptor signaling is a hallmark of PTSD pathology that impacts fear memory learning and extinction processes. Objectives In the current study, we tested whether exposing adolesce...
Host‐associated microbes influence host health and function and can be a first line of defence against infections. While research increasingly shows that terrestrial plant microbiomes contribute to bacterial, fungal, and oomycete disease resistance, no comparable experimental work has investigated marine plant microbiomes or more diverse disease agents. We test the hypothesis that the eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) leaf microbiom...
Effect of fishing effort on catch rate and catchability of largemouth bass in small impoundmentsNARA Subscribed
Largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède) catch rates decline with sustained fishing effort, even without harvest. It is unclear why declines in catch rate occur, and little research has been directed at how to improve catch rate. Learning has been proposed as a reason for declining catch rate, but has never been tested on largemouth bass. If catch rate declines because fish learn to avoid lures, periods of no fishing c...
Summary Kelp forest ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots, providing habitat for dense assemblages of marine organisms and nutrients for marine and terrestrial food webs. The surfaces of kelps support diverse microbial communities that facilitate the transfer of carbon from algal primary production to higher trophic levels. We quantified the diversity of bacteria on the surfaces of eight sympatric kelp species from four sites i...
The amphibian skin‐associated microbiome across species, space and life history stagesNARA Subscribed
Skin‐associated bacteria of amphibians are increasingly recognized for their role in defence against pathogens, yet we have little understanding of their basic ecology. Here, we use high‐throughput 16 S r RNA gene sequencing to examine the host and environmental influences on the skin microbiota of the cohabiting amphibian species A naxyrus boreas, P seudacris regilla, T aricha torosa and L ithobates catesbeianus from the C en...
