Purpose Carbohydrate availability is reduced during prolonged exercise, and this may contribute to the loss of power output at the intensity domain transitions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lowered carbohydrate availability on power output at intensity domain transitions, muscle activation, and gross cycling efficiency in endurance-trained female cyclists. Methods Nine well-trained female cyclists co...

Whole genome resequencing can be a powerful tool for uncovering biological insights and quantifying population genomic metrics relevant to conservation. These insights have the potential to be most profound in secretive or elusive species that are understudied but whose populations may be waning. The western chicken turtle ( Deirochelys reticularia miaria ) is one such example where conservationists are concerned about reporte...

Dispersal is one of the most important aspects of animal behavior and can have far‐reaching consequences for organismal ecology and evolution. Despite recent theoretical advances in understanding why individuals within the same population vary in dispersal behavior, relatively few studies have empirically evaluated the long‐term causes and consequences of variable dispersal within natural populations. In this study, we used li...

Population genomics has great potential to inform applied conservation management and associated policy. However, the bioinformatic analyses and interpretation of population genomic datasets can be daunting and difficult to convey to nonspecialists, including on‐the‐ground conservationists that work with many state, federal and international agencies. We think that individual population genomic metrics of interest can be inter...

Isolation of strain 20WA0182 T from a diseased onion plant grown in the Columbia Basin of Washington State, USA, led to preliminary identification as a member of the genus Ewingella . The strain was characterised as a Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobe that is rod-shaped, motile with polar flagella, catalase positive, and oxidase negative. The strain 20WA0182 T isolated was pathogenic to yellow onion bulbs, weakly patho...
