Non-Invasive Sampling of Schistosomes from Humans Requires Correcting for Family Structure

Creator:: Steinauer, Michelle L., Christie, Mark R., Blouin, Michael S., Agola, Lelo E., Mwangi, Ibrahim N., Maina, Geoffrey M., Mutuku, Martin W., Kinuthia, Joseph M., Mkoji, Gerald M., and Loker, Eric S.
Abstract:: For ethical and logistical reasons, population-genetic studies of parasites often rely on the non-invasive sampling of offspring shed from their definitive hosts. However, if the sampled offspring are naturally derived from a small number of parents, then the strong family structure can result in biased population-level estimates of genetic parameters,...

Multi-scale spatial controls of understory vegetation in Douglas-fir–western hemlock forests of western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Burton, Julia I., Ganio, Lisa M., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: Forest understory vegetation is influenced by broad-scale variation in climate, intermediate-scale variation in topography, disturbance and neighborhood interactions. However, little is known about how these multi-scale controls interact to influence observed spatial patterns. We examined relationships between the aggregated cover of understory plant species (%C[subscript U]) and multi-scale controls using...

Amplification and dampening of soil respiration by changes in temperature variability

Creator:: Sierra, C. A., Harmon, M. E., Thomann, E., Perakis, S. S., and Loescher, H. W.
Abstract:: Accelerated release of carbon from soils is one of the most important feedbacks related to anthropogenically induced climate change. Studies addressing the mechanisms for soil carbon release through organic matter decomposition have focused on the effect of changes in the average temperature, with little attention to changes in temperature variability....

Interaction-induced conducting–non-conducting transition of ultra-cold atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices

Creator:: Chien, Chih-Chun, Gruss, Daniel, Di Ventra, Massimiliano, and Zwolak, Michael
Abstract:: The study of time-dependent, many-body transport phenomena is increasingly within reach of ultra-cold atom experiments. We show that the introduction of spatially inhomogeneous interactions, e.g., generated by optically controlled collisions, induce negative differential conductance in the transport of atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices. Specifically, we simulate the dynamics of interacting...

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...

The Genome and Development-Dependent Transcriptomes of Pyronema confluens: A Window into Fungal Evolution

Creator:: Traeger, Stefanie, Altegoer, Florian, Freitag, Michael, Gabaldon, Toni, Kempken, Frank, Kumar, Abhishek, Marcet-Houben, Marina, Poggeler, Stefanie, Stajich, Jason E., and Nowrousian, Minou
Abstract:: Fungi are a large group of eukaryotes found in nearly all ecosystems. More than 250 fungal genomes have already been sequenced, greatly improving our understanding of fungal evolution, physiology, and development. However, for the Pezizomycetes, an early-diverging lineage of filamentous ascomycetes, there is so far only one genome available, namely...

Escaped farmed salmon and trout in Chile: incidence, impacts, and the need for an ecosystem view

Creator:: Sepúlveda, Maritza, Arismendi, Ivan, Soto, Doris, Jara, Fernando, and Farias, Francisca
Abstract:: The exponential growth of the salmonid farming industry during the last 3 decades has created conditions for massive escapes of these exotic species into natural environments in southern Chile. Here, we review and update information about salmonid escapes from 1993 to 2012 and examine their potential environmental, social, and economic...

Biotic and Human Vulnerability to Projected Changes in Ocean Biogeochemistry over the 21st Century

Abstract:: Ongoing greenhouse gas emissions can modify climate processes and induce shifts in ocean temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, and productivity, which in turn could alter biological and social systems. Here, we provide a synoptic global assessment of the simultaneous changes in future ocean biogeochemical variables over marine biota and their broader...

Where to find 1.5 million yr old ice for the IPICS “Oldest-Ice” ice core

Creator:: Fischer, H., Severinghaus, J., Brook, Edward J., Wolff, E., Albert, M., Alemany, O., Arthern, R., Bentley, C., Blankenship, D., Chappellaz, J., Creyts, T., Dahl-Jensen, D., Dinn, M., Frezzotti, M., Fujita, S., Gallee, H., Hindmarsh, R., Hudspeth, D., Jugie, G., Kawamura, K., Lipenkov, V., Miller, H., Mulvaney, R., Parrenin, F., Pattyn, F., Ritz, C., Schwander, J., Steinhage, D., van Ommen, T., and Wilhelms, F.
Abstract:: The recovery of a 1.5 million yr long ice core from Antarctica represents a keystone of our understanding of Quaternary climate, the progression of glaciation over this time period and the role of greenhouse gas cycles in this progression. Here we tackle the question of where such ice may still...

Abstract:: Biomass burning impacts vegetation dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, atmospheric chemistry, and climate, with sometimes deleterious socio-economic impacts. Under future climate projections it is often expected that the risk of wildfires will increase. Our ability to predict the magnitude and geographic pattern of future fire impacts rests on our ability to model...
