Large-scale poisoning events are common to scavenging bird species that forage communally,
many of which are in decline. To reduce the threat of poisoning and compensate for other persistent threats,
management, including supplemental feeding, is ongoing for many reintroduced and endangered vulture
populations. Through a longitudinal study of lead exposure...

Background:
The people of Bangladesh are currently exposed to high concentrations of arsenic and manganese in drinking water, as well as elevated lead in many regions. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between environmental exposure to these contaminants and neurodevelopmental outcomes among Bangladeshi children.

Two modifications to an existing scheme of tidal
mixing are implemented in the coarse resolution ocean component
of a global climate model. First, the vertical distribution
of energy flux out of the barotropic tide is determined
using high resolution bathymetry. This shifts the levels of
mixing higher up in the...

Natural products (secondary metabolites) are small organic molecules derived
from plants, microbes, and marine organisms that have served as a diverse source of
useful compounds pharmaceuticals. New biologically active natural products are critical
as anti-infective and cancer drug leads. Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, produce
diverse cytotoxic metabolites that represent potential...
