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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Depredation Claim Behavior and Tolerance of Wildlife in Wyoming [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2000
AbstractWyoming Game and Fish Department depredation payments were established to increase landowner tolerance toward, and thus the supply of, certain types of wildlife. This study examined how socio-economic and demographic characteristics of farmers and ranchers in Wyoming relate to tolerance toward wildlife and depredation claim submission.

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

A retrospective look at mountain lion populations in California (1906–2018)

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2020
Mountain lion (Puma concolor) population management in California has varied widely over the past 100 plus years, ranging from a bounty system (1906-1963) to specially-protected status (1972-present).

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

CROP DEPREDATION BY WILDLIFE IN NORTHCENTRAL INDIANA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
: Perceptions of agricultural producers concerning crop depredation may influence wildlife management decisions. We quantified the amount, type, and temporal pattern of damage to corn (Zea maize) and soybeans (Glycine max) by wild turkey (Meleagris ...
