Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk.

A doubled down invasion of the northeast Pacific by the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major and its coevolved bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis

Creator:: Chapman, John W., Li, Jingchun, McGowan, Michael F., Breitenstein, Ralph A., Appy, Ralph, Hieb, Kathryn A., Piotrowski, Christina N., and Elder, Leanne E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines of the native northeast Pacific mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis over the last three decades have occurred in response to intense infestations by the Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, that was introduced in the 1980s. We report herein the arrival of the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major, in...

Effects of selenium supplementation during different trimesters of pregnancy on non-specific humoral immunity of pregnant beef cows and persistence of antibodies in their newborn calves

Creator:: Thompson-Hernandez, Ian
Abstract:: Immunosuppression during the periparturient period leads to increased susceptibility to infectious diseases in beef cows. Newborn calves rely on passive transfer of antibodies from their mothers at birth for protection against diseases in the first two months of age. It is unknown if supranutritional Se supplementation of cows during pregnancy...
