Acceptability of black bear management options relative to frequency of sightings and conflicts with humans

Conservation Science and Practice
Estimates of abundance and frequency of human–bear conflicts are commonly used in American black bear (Ursus americanus) management decisions; however, the importance of these measures to residents of bear inhabited areas and their influence on the ...

Ecological plasticity of denning chronology by American black bears and brown bears

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Ecological plasticity may index the capacity of individuals, populations, and species to respond to stochasticity. Few studies have demonstrated mechanisms influencing expression of plasticity and less have addressed proximate and causal mechanisms at multiple scales.

Stromal‐Derived IL‐8 Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization via the RhoA/MRTF‐A/SRF Transcriptional Axis to Impair CD8+ T Cell Cytotoxicity in Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the recondite pulmonary neoplastic milieu, DESMIN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts function as the paramount stromal source of IL‐8, precipitating a deleterious immunological metamorphosis by engaging CXCR2 receptors on the myeloid lineage. This paracrine stimulus triggers a mechanotransduction cascade characterized by RhoA‐dependent actin ...
