Nest-Site Selection and Nesting Ecology of Giant Canada Geese in Central Tennessee

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Little information is available on giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) nest-site selection on isolated nesting ponds. We monitored 46 island and 72 shoreline nests in the Upper Cumberland (UC) region of central Tennessee during 2002 and 2003 ...

Absence of Relative Clause Islands in Adara

open access: yesLanguages
I argue that definite relative clauses, despite their stable strong island status cross-linguistically, lack island status in Adara. The structure is neither selective nor weak, but rather completely permeable, allowing the free extraction of both ...

Direction of escape in reindeer

open access: yesRangifer, 1997
We tested the hypothesis that reindeer prefer to run uphill and upwind when escaping from man. Groups of wild and feral reindeer in Norway, Svalbard and on Wrangel Island were approached and their behaviour and direction of escape were recorded.

Francisella novicida pathogenicity island encoded proteins were secreted during infection of macrophage-like cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Intracellular pathogens and other organisms have evolved mechanisms to exploit host cells for their life cycles. Virulence genes of some intracellular bacteria responsible for these mechanisms are located in pathogenicity islands, such as secretion ...

Overcoming the phantoms of the past: Influence of predatory stimuli on the antipredator behavior of island pitvipers.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
The reduction of predation is a potentially important factor for the evolution of the traits of an island animal species. By relaxed selection, insular animals tend to lose their antipredator behaviors.

Reconstruction of the Cretaceous Palaeogeographic Position of Hainan Island and Its Tectonic Significance

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Reconstruction of the palaeogeographical location of Hainan Island is important for understanding the interaction between Indochina and South China. In this study, we integrate topographic relief, gravity anomalies, and magnetic anomalies, along with ...

Serrated neoplasia pathway as an alternative route of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesIntestinal Research, 2018
In the past two decades, besides conventional adenoma pathway, a subset of colonic lesions, including hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated adenoma/polyps, and traditional serrated adenomas have been suggested as precancerous lesions via the alternative ...

Single‐cell DNA methylation profiling: Technologies, computation, and applications in precision oncology

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell DNA methylation (scDNAme) profiling maps epimutational clonal evolution, revealing mechanisms of malignancy and therapeutic resistance across diverse cancer types. By providing a high‐resolution landscape of intratumoral heterogeneity, these technologies empower precise patient stratification, guide the development of enhanced ...

Escape to Alcatraz: evolutionary history of slender salamanders (Batrachoseps) on the islands of San Francisco Bay [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Island populations are excellent model systems for studies of phenotypic, ecological and molecular evolution. In this study, molecular markers of mitochondrial and nuclear derivation were used to investigate the evolution, structure and origin of populations of the California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus) inhabiting the six major islands
