A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales

Creator:: Villegas-Amtmann, S., Schwarz, L. K., Sumich, J. L., and Costa, D. P.
Abstract:: While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The...

Adaptive genetic markers discriminate migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) amid continued gene flow

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G., Jacobson, Dave P., Kurth, Ryon, Dill, Allen J., and Banks, Michael A.
Abstract:: Neutral genetic markers are routinely used to define distinct units within species that warrant discrete management. Human-induced changes to gene flow however may reduce the power of such an approach. We tested the efficiency of adaptive versus neutral genetic markers in differentiating temporally divergent migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus...

Astragaloside IV Inhibits NF-κB Activation and Inflammatory Gene Expression in LPS-Treated Mice

Creator:: Zhang, Wei-Jian and Frei, Balz
Abstract:: In this study we investigated the role of astragaloside IV (AS-IV), one of the major active constituents purified from the Chinese medicinal herb Astragalus membranaceus, in LPS-induced acute inflammatory responses in mice in vivo and examined possible underlying mechanisms. Mice were assigned to four groups: vehicle-treated control animals; AS-IV-treated animals...

Comparative Composition, Diversity and Trophic Ecology of Sediment Macrofauna at Vents, Seeps and Organic Falls

Creator:: Bernardino, Angelo F., Levin, Lisa A., Thurber, Andrew R., and Smith, Craig R.
Abstract:: Sediments associated with hydrothermal venting, methane seepage and large organic falls such as whale, wood and plant detritus create deep-sea networks of soft-sediment habitats fueled, at least in part, by the oxidation of reduced chemicals. Biological studies at deep-sea vents, seeps and organic falls have looked at macrofaunal taxa, but...

Effects of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (sod1) Genotype and Genetic Background on Growth, Reproduction and Defense in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:: Bonner, Kaitlin M., Bayne, Christopher J., Larson, Maureen K., and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Resistance of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to the trematode Schistosoma mansoni is correlated with allelic variation at copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1). We tested whether there is a fitness cost associated with carrying the most resistant allele in three outbred laboratory populations of snails. These three populations were derived from the...

Elemental Markers in Elasmobranchs: Effects of Environmental History and Growth on Vertebral Chemistry

Creator:: Smith, Wade D., Miller, Jessica A., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified skeletal structures (e.g. shells, otoliths) have proven useful for reconstructing the environmental history of many marine species. However, the extent to which ambient environmental conditions can be inferred from the elemental signatures within the vertebrae of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays) has not been...

Enhancing the T-shaped learning profile when teaching hydrology using data, modeling, and visualization activities

Creator:: Sanchez, C. A., Ruddell, B. L., Schiesser, R., and Merwade, V.
Abstract:: Previous research has suggested that the use of more authentic learning activities can produce more robust and durable knowledge gains. This is consistent with calls within civil engineering education, specifically hydrology, that suggest that curricula should more often include professional perspective and data analysis skills to better develop the ‘T-shaped’...

Eocene and not Cretaceous origin of spider wasps: Fossil evidence from amber

Creator:: Rodriguez, Juanita, Waichert, Cecilia, von Dohlen, Carol D., Poinar, George, Jr., and Pitts, James P.
Abstract:: Spider wasps had long been proposed to originate in the mid-Cretaceous based on the Burmese amber fossil Bryopompilus interfector Engel and Grimaldi, 2006. We performed a morphological examination of this fossil and determined it does not belong to Pompilidae or any other described hymenopteran family. Instead, we place it in...

Evaluating Paratransgenesis as a Potential Control Strategy for African Trypanosomiasis

Creator:: Medlock, Jan, Atkins, Katherine E., Thomas, David N., Aksoy, Serap, and Galvani, Alison P.
Abstract:: Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this approach involves modification of the commensal symbiotic bacteria Sodalis to express trypanosome-resistance-conferring products. Modified Sodalis can then be driven into...

Growing our vision together : forming a sustainability community within the American Library Association

Creator:: Filar Williams, Beth, Charney, Madeleine, and Smith, Bonnie
Abstract:: As long-standing keepers of democracy and information stewardship, library professionals are a natural fit for advocating and promoting sustainability within their communities. From seed libraries to Occupy Wall Street libraries, their view of sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns to include community activism, economic development, and social equity. Empowering people, facilitating...
