Estimating body mass of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) using body morphometrics. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We developed a set of equations to predict wild pig body mass from other morphometric measures. Data were collected and validated from eight different areas in the United States, Australia, and Guam. Abstract Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are invading many areas globally and impacting biodiversity and economies in their non‐native range.

Extensive Admixture Among Karst-Obligate Salamanders Reveals Evidence of Recent Divergence and Gene Exchange Through Aquifers. [PDF]
Ecol EvolPopulation genomics analyses of the karst‐inhabiting E. neotenes complex of salamanders reveals low levels of differentiation and substantial admixture among the three nominal species in the complex. The history of these populations includes recent divergence and gene exchange through aquifers.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022 We evaluated capture effectiveness, monetary cost, and safety for drop net and both single and tandem helicopter with net‐gun techniques for white‐tailed deer. While all three techniques were safe and effective methods for deer capture, the tandem‐helicopter technique was superior in balancing effectiveness, cost, safety, and maximizing spatial ...

Multi‐scale species density model for conserving an endangered songbird
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 86, Issue 5, July 2022., 2022 Remotely sensed data can be used to map the gradient of conditions that occur across a species' range and generate predictors at multiple biologically relevant scales for modeling species density. A model built with this approach found 64% of the predicted abundance of golden‐cheeked warblers occurred in the Balcones Canyonlands ecoregion and indicated

Wheat heat tolerance is impaired by heightened deletions in the distal end of 4AL chromosomal arm
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1038-1051, May 2021., 2021 Summary Heat stress (HS) causes substantial damages to worldwide crop production. As a cool season crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum) is sensitive to HS‐induced damages. To support the genetic improvement of wheat HS tolerance (HST), we conducted fine mapping of TaHST1, a locus required for maintaining wheat vegetative and reproductive growth under ...

Effects of School Bullying Prevention Camp on the Adolescent Perpetrators of School Violence
Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2021 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a school bullying prevention camp for adolescent perpetrators of chool violence.A total of 95 adolescents (boys=73, girls=22) were included in this study. The changes after the program were evaluated using several self-rating scales for the assessment of the degree of depression, loneliness ...

Quantifying meso‐mammal cave use in central Texas
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, Page 1-7, January 2017., 2017 Knowledge of meso‐mammal cave use is essential for natural resource managers, particularly in the management of endangered cave invertebrates. Scat left by meso‐mammals represents significant nutrient inputs into the oligotrophic cave environment which can disrupt the invertebrate species composition and ecology.

Glia, Volume 72, Issue 11, Page 1985-2000, November 2024.Main Points A2B receptors decrease MBP expression in OPC monocultures and in OPC/DRG co‐cultures. A2B receptor activation increases axonal myelination in OPC/DRG co‐cultures. A2B receptors are express in DRG neurons where they increase cell excitability.
