A robust method for mapping refugial capacity in montane forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We developed a refugial capacity analysis to guide management strategies to protect montane forests that will be relatively buffered from disturbances. Through sensitivity analyses, we found that our approach was robust to uncertainty in thresholds and climate forecasts, consistently identifying refugia across the landscape in similar locations and ...

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

Influence of Tapered‐End and Round‐End Bristle Designs on the Abrasive Enamel Wear Using Toothpastes With High Discrepancies in Abrasiveness

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of bristle end design of toothbrushes and the relative enamel abrasivity (REA) of used toothpaste on the resulting abrasive enamel wear. Materials and Methods A total of 160 bovine enamel samples were allocated into eight groups (n = 20) and surface topography was recorded

Amount and diversity of coarse woody debris within a boreal forest landscape dominated by Pinus sylvestris in Vienansalo wilderness, eastern Fennoscandia

Silva Fennica, 2002
The amount, variability, quality and spatial pattern of coarse woody debris (CWD) on mineral soil sites was studied within a natural Pinus sylvestris L. dominated boreal forest landscape in Russian Viena Karelia. Data on the total CWD was collected on

Modeled Impacts of Chronic Wasting Disease on White-Tailed Deer in a Semi-Arid Environment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
White-tailed deer are a culturally and economically important game species in North America, especially in South Texas. The recent discovery of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in captive deer facilities in Texas has increased concern about the potential ...

Research Progress of Coarse Woody Residues in Forest Ecosystems

Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is one of the important components of forest ecosystem, which provides habitat for many species. It is an important consideration for forest and woodland restoration.

Interventions to Improve Clinician Implementation of and Patient Adherence to Recommendations on Geriatric Assessment and Management: A Scoping Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
In this scoping review we identified 6 interventions that examined how to improve clinician and patient adherence to geriatric assessment recommendations and adherence depends on perceived relevance of the recommendations and patient‐provider relationships.

Assessing Different Chronic Wasting Disease Training Aids for Use with Detection Dogs

Animals
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly infectious, fatal prion disease that affects cervid species. One promising method for CWD surveillance is the use of detection dog–handler teams wherein dogs are trained on the volatile organic compound signature

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...
