Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Multiple Community Informants Enhance Public Information About Predators Across a Latitudinal Gradient in Bird Communities of China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated bird communities across a 1650‐km latitudinal gradient in China where there is a transition in which “community informant” species play important roles in providing public information about predation, from babblers in the south to tits in the north. We found that both babblers and tits jointly contribute vocalizations when they are both

Mapping QTLs for blight resistance and morpho-phenological traits in inter-species hybrid families of chestnut (Castanea spp.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Chestnut blight (caused by Cryphonectria parasitica), together with Phytophthora root rot (caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi), has nearly extirpated American chestnut (Castanea dentata) from its native range.

The HAWLT approach to holistically address wildlife trafficking

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Holistically Address WildLife Trafficking (HAWLT) Approach represents a multi‐dimensional framework to design and implement strategies to reduce wildlife trafficking. HAWLT integrates the preeminent adaptive framework of conservation science—the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation—with techniques to reduce wildlife trafficking in a ...

First interspecific genetic linkage map for Castanea sativa x Castanea crenata revealed QTLs for resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata) carries resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi, the destructive and widespread oomycete causing ink disease. The European chestnut (Castanea sativa), carrying little to no disease resistance, is currently threatened

Financial toxicity as a source of diabetes distress resulting in cost coping strategies in emerging adults with type 1 diabetes in the United States

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Despite advancements in diabetes care, up to one in four Americans report rationing insulin due to cost concerns; emerging adults are especially susceptible to cost worries as they transition away from family support. Financial toxicity may help elucidate how emerging adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience emotional burden.

Detection of a Reassortant H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus with Intercontinental Gene Segments in a Resident Australian Chestnut Teal

Viruses, 2020
The present study reports the genetic characterization of a low-pathogenicity H9N2 avian influenza virus, initially from a pool and subsequently from individual faecal samples collected from Chestnut teals (Anas castanea) in southeastern Australia ...

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Northern cod (Gadus morhua) movement: insights from acoustic telemetry and genomics

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of the timing and diversity of fish movements within a commercially exploited stock complex is required to ensure the sustainability of fisheries. Although migration can be driven by environmental factors, genomic mechanisms also play an important role in this complex life‐history trait. The northern cod (Gadus morhua) stock complex,
