Toxicity of Four Common Environmental Chemicals Across Caenorhabditis elegans Life Stages Supporting the One Health Concept

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pesticides and pharmaceuticals are among the most common chemical groups in waterbodies and soils, and their universal distribution raises concerns about potential adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans. Reproductive output disruption is of particular concern, as it transposes effects from the individual to the next generations at ...

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Experimental Evidence for Mobilization of Mercury From the Eggshell by the Developing Embryo in an Avian Model Organism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

The Evolution of the Eggshell

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
10 hybrid ISA Brown hens, 50 weeks old, hold single in cages and fed with combined granulated forage, were monitored for a period of 3 weeks to establish the body weight, the egg laying time, the laying interval and the length of clutches for each hen.

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.

Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...
