Consumer-grade GPS units are a staple of modern field ecology, but the relatively
large error radii reported by manufacturers (up to 10 m) ostensibly precludes their
utility in measuring fine-scale movement of small animals such as insects. Here
we demonstrate that for data collected at fine spatio-temporal scales, these devices...

The current work sought to develop predictive
models between time-weighted average polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in the freely dissolved
phase and those present in resident aquatic organisms. We
deployed semipermeable membrane passive sampling devices
(SPMDs) and collected resident crayfish (Pacifastacus
leniusculus) at nine locations within and outside of the...

Sharp increases in the use of flammable plastics and electronic devices coupled with stricter fire safety requirements have promoted the heavy use of flame retardant chemicals. While flame retardant use has increased, a great deal of uncertainty surrounds their safety with some evidence showing toxicity and risk to human and...

Hybridization has been identified as a significant factor in the evolution of plants as groups of interbreeding species retain their phenotypic integrity despite gene exchange among forms. Recent studies have identified similar interactions in animals; however, the role of hybridization in the evolution of animals has been contested. Here we...

Contamination of resident aquatic organisms is a major concern for environmental risk assessors. However, collecting organisms to estimate risk is often prohibitively time and resource-intensive. Passive sampling accurately estimates resident organism contamination, and it saves time and resources. This study used low density polyethylene (LDPE) passive water samplers to predict...

The U.S. Culture Collection Network was formed in 2012 by a group of culture collection scientists and stakeholders in order to continue the progress established previously through efforts of an ad hoc group. The network is supported by a Research Coordination Network grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)...
