Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.)
for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health
has underscored the danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services.

Captive rearing programs (hatcheries) are often used in conservation and management efforts
for at-risk salmonid fish populations. However, hatcheries typically rear juveniles in environments
that contrast starkly with natural conditions, which may lead to phenotypic and/or genetic changes that adversely affect the performance of juveniles upon their release to the...

Introduction. Age is the primary risk factor for major human chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation is associated with aging and the progression of immunosenescence. Immunosenescence may play an important role in the development of age-related chronic disease and the...

We hypothesized that vitamin E (α-tocopherol) is required by the developing embryonic brain to prevent depletion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), the loss of which we predicted would underlie abnormal morphological and behavioral outcomes. Therefore, we fed adult 5D zebrafish (Danio rerio) defined diets without...
