Resilience in Quaking Aspen: Recent advances and future needs

Creator:: Rogers, Paul C., Eisenberg, Cristina, and St. Clair, Samuel B.
Abstract:: Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) sustainability is a topic of intense interest in forest ecology. Reports range from declines to persisting or increasing coverage in some areas. Moreover, there is little agreement on ultimate factors driving changes. Low aspen recruitment has been attributed to climate patterns, past management, herbivore increases, competitive...

Wolf, Elk, and Aspen Food Web Relationships: Context and Complexity

Creator:: Eisenberg, Cristina, Seager, S. Trent, and Hibbs, David E.
Abstract:: Like most ecological communities, aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests are influenced by a synergy of bottom-up (resources-driven) and top-down (predator-driven) processes. Since the 1920s, ecologists have observed the decline of many aspen communities throughout the Intermountain West. The extent and possible drivers of this decline are topics of much recent scientific...

Assessment of macroalgal nitrogen limitation in a seasonal upwelling region

Creator:: Fujita, Rodney M., Wheeler, Patricia A., and Edwards, Robert L.
Abstract:: The relationship between nitrogen (N) availability and the growth of macroalgae in a seasonal upwelling region (Yaquina Head, Oregon, USA) was investigated. Water column nutrient concentrations were relatively high and stable during the winter, decreased in early spring, and were highly variable in the summer and early fall. Periods of...

Unusual Fluorescent Granulomas and Myonecrosis in Danio Rerio Infected by the Microsporidian Pathogen Pseudoloma Neurophilia

Creator:: West, Kylie, Miles, Rodney, Kent, Michael L., and Frazer, J. Kimble
Abstract:: Zebrafish are a powerful model organism to study disease. Like other animal models, Danio rerio colonies are at risk of pathogenic infection. Microsporidia, a group of intracellular fungus-like parasites, are one potential threat. Microsporidian spores germinate and spread causing pathological changes in the central nervous system, skeletal muscle, and other...

Structure and proposed mechanism of L-α-glycerophosphate oxidase from Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Creator:: Elkhal, Callia K., Kean, Kelsey M., Parsonage, Derek, Maenpuen, Somchart, Chaiyen, Pimchai, Claiborne, Al, and Karplus, P. Andrew
Abstract:: The formation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) by the FAD-dependent α-glycerophosphate oxidase (GlpO), is important for the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The structurally known GlpO from Streptococcus sp. (SspGlpO) is similar to the pneumococcal protein (SpGlpO) and provides a guide for drug design against that target. However, M....

Toward autonomous measurements of photosynthetic electron transport rates: An evaluation of active fluorescence-based measurements of photochemistry

Creator:: Silsbe, Greg M., Oxborough, Kevin, Suggett, David J., Forster, Rodney M., Ihnken, Sven, Komárek, Ondřej, Lawrenz, Evelyn, Prášil, Ondřej, Röttgers, Rüdiger, Šicner, Michal, Simis, Stefan G. H., Van Dijk, Mark A., and Kromkamp, Jacco C.
Abstract:: This study presents a methods evaluation and intercalibration of active fluorescence-based measurements of the quantum yield (ϕ'ₚₛᵢᵢ) and absorption coefficient (aₚₛᵢᵢ) of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Measurements of ϕ'ₚₛᵢᵢ, aₚₛᵢᵢ, and irradiance (E) can be scaled to derive photosynthetic electron transport rates (Pₑ), the process that fuels phytoplankton carbon fixation...

Linking Wolves and Plants: Aldo Leopold on Trophic Cascades

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Beschta, Robert L.
Abstract:: Aldo Leopold, perhaps best known for his revolutionary and poignant essays about nature, was also an eloquent advocate during the 1930s and 1940s of the need to maintain wolves and other large carnivores in forest and range ecosystems.He indicated that their loss set the stage for ungulate irruptions and ecosystem...

Berry-producing shrub characteristics following wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96, thus completing the park’s large predator guild. In the fall of 2010, approximately 15 years after wolf reintroduction, we sampled ten genera/species of berry-producing shrubs within 97 aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands in the park’s northern ungulate winter range....

“Boys Can Be Anything”: Effect of Barbie Play on Girls’ Career Cognitions

Creator:: Sherman, Aurora M. and Zurbriggen, Eileen L.
Abstract:: Play with Barbie dolls is an understudied source of gendered socialization that may convey a sexualized adult world to young girls. Early exposure to sexualized images may have unintended consequences in the form of perceived limitations on future selves. We investigated perceptions of careers girls felt they could do in...

Reducing Livestock Effects on Public Lands in the Western United States as the Climate Changes: A Reply to Svejcar et al.

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L., Donahue, Debra L., DellaSala, Dominick A., Rhodes, Jonathan J., Karr, James R., O'Brien, Mary H., Fleischner, Thomas L., and Williams, Cindy Deacon
Abstract:: Beschta et al. (2013) synthesized the ecological effects 41 of climate change and ungulate grazing on western public lands, grounding their recommendations in ecological considerations and federal agency legal authority and obligations. Svejcar et al. (2014) suggest that Beschta et al. (2013) neither “present a balanced synthesis of the scientific...
