Effects of Wolf Mortality on Livestock Depredations

PLoS ONE, 2014
Predator control and sport hunting are often used to reduce predator populations and livestock depredations, but the efficacy of lethal control has rarely been tested. We assessed the effects of wolf mortality on reducing livestock depredations in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming from 1987-2012 using a 25 year time series. The number of livestock depredated,

Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural microbial consortium employing a cross‐feeding strategy forms a stratified biofilm that promotes endophytic colonization of auxotrophic Flavobacterium. This enhanced colonization activates plant systemic resistance, effectively suppressing Fusarium wilt.

The temporal environmental correlates of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) encounters with livestock enclosures: Insights from central Kenya

Conservation Science and Practice
Livestock depredation by carnivores is a major challenge for both livestock‐keeping communities and carnivore conservation worldwide. Quantitative depredation risk models can help predict time periods of increased depredation risk, supporting livestock ...

Transposable Element Dynamics Drive the Genomic Evolution and Phenotypic Diversification of Allotetraploid Common Carp

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating 516 whole‐genome resequencing datasets and 236 transcriptomes of allotetraploid common carp, this study establishes the first population‐scale atlas of transposable element (TE) variation in teleost species. TE bursts, relaxed purifying selection, and lineage‐specific loss of ancient insertions shape genome evolution and phenotypic ...

Do artificial nests simulate nest success of greater sage-grouse?

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally ...

A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Omnidirectional Interaction Networks Modulating Phenotypic Plasticity in the Gut Microbiota Towards Ulcerative Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs a spouse‐pair cohort design and an idopNetwork model that integrates evolutionary game theory, predator‐prey dynamics, and developmental modularity theory to reconstruct maximally informative microbial interaction networks. This approach reveals how interspecies interactions drive the phenotypic plasticity of the gut microbiota in ...

Switching ATP‐Forming Phosphoryl‐Transfer Chemistry With a Restricted Set of Amino Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Constraints on amino acid composition relevant to prebiotic chemistry reshape enzyme chemistry by replacing the canonical mechanism within a conserved protein fold with a distinct ATP‐forming reaction, ADP disproportionation. Such constraints generate alternative catalytic solutions not observed in modern enzymes and point to chemically plausible early

Examining human–carnivore interactions using a socio-ecological framework: sympatric wild canids in India as a case study [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Many carnivores inhabit human-dominated landscapes outside protected reserves. Spatially explicit assessments of carnivore distributions and livestock depredation patterns in human-use landscapes are crucial for minimizing negative interactions and ...
