Efficacy of an Inactivated Bacterin Vaccine Against Emerging Streptococcus dysgalactiae in Channel Catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus )NARA Subscribed
Lancefield Group C Streptococcus dysgalactiae recently emerged as a catfish pathogen in the US. Reports from hatcheries suggest S. dysgalactiae causes substantial broodfish loss. We aimed to develop a challenge model and evaluate vaccine efficacy against S. dysgalactiae in juvenile channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus ). Three S. dysgalactiae (14–1, 14–24 and 14–25) isolates were tested for virulence. Intracoelomic (IC) injec...
Proglacial lake records of Holocene glacier behaviour and catchment processes in Slettedalen, Northeast GreenlandNARA Subscribed
Constraining Arctic catchment response to Holocene climate change is vital for understanding future environments. We present detailed sedimentological, geochemical and grain size end‐member analysis of two Holocene (~7.0 ka to present) lake sequences, S1 and S2, close to Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland. They provide new insights into glacier behaviour and catchment processes during a period of profound environmental change. Th...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Evaluating a Tri-Institutional Cancer Research Capacity-Building Program for Early-Stage InvestigatorsNARA Subscribed
The Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) initiative of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) supports long-standing collaborations between an under-resourced institution and NCI-designated Cancer Centers to strengthen cancer research workforce and advance cancer research capacity. One of the longest continuously funded CPACHE programs is the Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University/Universi...
Grass is a tattletale: using grass as a biomonitoring tool for remote sensing of coal combustion residue contaminationNARA Subscribed
Coal-fired power plants generate coal combustion residuals (CCRs), which are typically disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments that must be monitored to ensure that hazardous constituents such as arsenic (As) and selenium (Se) do not escape into the surrounding environment. Traditional methods for monitoring surface impoundments, such as sampling discharge of all outlets of hydraulic structures to approximate CCR con...
Key message The bivariate analysis of canola survivability against blackleg disease with marker-based genomic information, a flexible residual variance model, and a novel selection measure can improve genetic gain for blackleg resistance. Abstract Canola ( Brassica napus ) is an important oilseed crop grown extensively worldwide. It is deleteriously affected by the pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans , commonly known as blackleg,...
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...
Divergence in Regulatory Regions and Gene Duplications May Underlie Chronobiological Adaptation in Desert TortoisesNARA Subscribed
Many cellular processes and organismal behaviours are time‐dependent, and asynchrony of these phenomena can facilitate speciation through reinforcement mechanisms. The Mojave and Sonoran desert tortoises ( Gopherus agassizii and G. morafkai respectively) reside in adjoining deserts with distinct seasonal rainfall patterns and they exhibit asynchronous winter brumation and reproductive behaviours. We used whole genome sequencin...
Can the cross-education of strength attenuate the impact of detraining after a period of strength training? A quasi-randomized trialNARA Subscribed
Purpose Unilateral strength training may attenuate the decline in muscle strength and size in homologous, contralateral muscles. This study aimed to determine whether the cross-education of strength could specifically attenuate the effects of detraining immediately after a short (prehabilitation-type) period of strength training. Methods Twenty-six strength-trained participants were assigned to either four weeks of unilateral...
Genome‐wide population affinities and signatures of adaptation in hydruntines, sussemiones and Asian wild assesNARA Subscribed
The extremely rich palaeontological record of the horse family, also known as equids, has provided many examples of macroevolutionary change over the last ~55 Mya. This family is also one of the most documented at the palaeogenomic level, with hundreds of ancient genomes sequenced. While these data have advanced understanding of the domestication history of horses and donkeys, the palaeogenomic record of other equids remains l...
Damage to tropical forests caused by cyclones is driven by wind speed but mediated by topographical exposure and tree characteristicsNARA Subscribed
Each year, an average of 45 tropical cyclones affect coastal areas and potentially impact forests. The proportion of the most intense cyclones has increased over the past four decades and is predicted to continue to do so. Yet, it remains uncertain how topographical exposure and tree characteristics can mediate the damage caused by increasing wind speed. Here, we compiled empirical data on the damage caused by 11 cyclones occu...
