The latest hypothesis regarding the source of enhanced neural activation from resistance training is the reticulospinal rather than the corticospinal tract, based on invasive animal and emerging human data. The present study employed a six-week isometric resistance training intervention in a randomized controlled design to address this knowledge gap. Thirty-nine healthy, untrained males (age ~23 y, sustained contraction group...

Population genetics are routinely studied over vast geographical areas to address questions of origin, routes of migration and epidemiology. However, genetic diversity of certain microorganisms such as plant pathogenic fungi are difficult to study even on a small geographical scale due to their mixed reproduction systems, variable population sizes, clonality and versatility to host adaptation. The genetic variation of an econo...

Arctic freshwater biodiversity is rapidly changing due to climate warming, resource extraction, infrastructure development, and landscape transformation. To improve understanding, predict future responses, and inform policy formulation, research needs must be clearly identified. Using a horizon scan survey, Arctic freshwater experts from government, international agencies, and Indigenous Peoples identified 77 biodiversity rese...
