Utilizing Environmental DNA for Early Monitoring of Non-Indigenous Fish Species in Maritime Ballast Water

open access: yesFishes
Ballast water has become a significant vector for the global spread of non-indigenous aquatic species. These species may cause severe ecological disruption and economic losses when introduced into new environments. Traditional monitoring techniques often

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Advantages and Limitations of Environmental DNA/RNA Tools for Marine Biosecurity: Management and Surveillance of Non-indigenous Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
To enable successful management of marine bioinvasions, timely and robust scientific advice is required. This knowledge should inform managers and stakeholders on the magnitude of a pressure (rate of human-mediated introductions), the environmental state

CAUIM: Amazonian Cassava‐Based Programmable Biocolloid

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Bridging indigenous heritage and computation, this work introduces the usage of cauim, a traditional Amazonian cassava fermented beverage, as a programmable memristive‐like substrate and resistance switching. The material exhibits frequency‐dependent dynamics enabling reconfigurable Boolean logic operations.

Non-indigenous species management using a population prioritization framework [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Plant Science, 2007
Few agencies or land owners have sufficient resources to target every non-indigenous plant species (NIS) population once they have become established within a management area. Therefore, prioritization of NIS populations for management is a crucial component of the management process. Conceptually, effective management of NIS can be regarded as having

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.

Cryptic Diversity and Database Errors Challenge Non-indigenous Species Surveys: An Illustration With Botrylloides spp. in the English Channel and Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Molecular tools have been extensively used in recent decades to examine biological invasion processes, and are increasingly being adopted as efficient tools to support non-indigenous species surveys, notably through barcoding approaches, i.e.

Marfan Syndrome Associated With Intellectual Disability and Behavioral Anomalies: Further Evidence for the Effect of Compound Heterozygous Variants in FBN1 on Phenotypic Severity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.
