Contaminated Stream Water as Source for Escherichia coli O157 Illness in Children

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
In May 2016, an outbreak of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 infections occurred among children who had played in a stream flowing through a park. Analysis of E.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

Evaluating cost‐efficiency and accuracy of hunter harvest survey designs

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Effective management of harvested wildlife often requires accurate estimates of the number of animals harvested annually by hunters. A variety of techniques exist to obtain harvest data, such as hunter surveys, check stations, mandatory reporting ...

Managing for diversity: harvest gap size drives complex light, vegetation, and deer herbivory impacts on tree seedlings

, 2016
Many managed northern hardwood forests are characterized by low-diversity tree regeneration. Small harvest gaps, competition from shrub–herb vegetation, and browsing by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) contribute to this pattern, but we know ...

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

Hunting intensity alters movement behaviour of white-tailed deer

, 2016
Recreational hunters have largely replaced natural predators of white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) across much of North America; thereby, providing the greatest form of risk (both direct and indirect) to survival.

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

PrPCWD lymphoid cell targets in early and advanced chronic wasting disease of mule deer

, 2002
Up to 15% of free-ranging mule deer in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming, USA, are afflicted with a prion disease, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), known as chronic wasting disease (CWD).
