SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Rainbow smelt ( Osmerus mordax ) have been introduced widely but are associated with declines in walleye ( Sander vitreus ) recruitment. A primary hypothesis for these declines is that O. mordax consume larval S. vitreus . We confirmed overlapping spatial–temporal distributions of larval S. vitreus and O. mordax in our study system and used mtDNA analyses to determine if O. mordax stomach contents contained S. vitreus . Approx...
Assessing the linkage between breeding and non-breeding areas has important implications for understanding the fundamental biology of and conserving animal species. This is a challenging task for marine species, and in sea turtles a combination of stable isotope analysis (SIA) and satellite telemetry has been increasingly used. The Northwest Atlantic (NWA) loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ) Regional Management Unit, one of the lar...
Identification and characterization of Phaseolus vulgaris endornavirus 1, 2 and 3 in common bean cultivars of East AfricaNARA Subscribed
Persistent viruses include members of the family Endornavirus that cause no apparent disease and are transmitted exclusively via seed or pollen. It is speculated that these RNA viruses may be mutualists that enhance plant resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. Using reverse transcription coupled polymerase chain reactions, we investigated if common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties popular in east Africa were hosts f...
Current planting technology possesses the ability to increase crop productivity and improve field efficiency by precisely metering and placing crop seeds. Planter performance depends on determining and utilizing optimal settings for different planting variables such as seed depth, down pressure, and seed metering unit. The evolution of “Big Data” in agriculture today brings focus on the need for quality as-planted and yield ma...
Mycobacteria in aquarium fish: results of a 3‐year survey indicate caution required in handling pet‐shop fishNARA Subscribed
Fish are commonly infected with non‐tuberculous mycobacteria ( NTM ), which should be regarded as potential pathogens when handling aquarium fish and equipment. This study examined 107 aquarium fish from pet shops. Cultivation of the fish samples using different selective media was conducted for identification of NTM . Isolates were identified using the GenoType Mycobacterium common mycobacteria and additional species assays,...
S lovenia has no history of health problems related to proliferative kidney disease ( PKD ) either in farmed or in wild fish. However, due to the past molecular evidence for the presence of T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae DNA in tissues of some fish from open waters, a survey was conducted on wild salmonids that were primarily sampled for other purposes. In winter 2010–2011, specimens from a total of 244 rainbow trout, O ncorhy...
