Collapse of the oyster population in Apalachicola Bay: cascading social impacts from an ecologically and culturally significant species

Ecology and Society
Historically fishery-dependent communities can have significant economic, social, and cultural ties to key species, the loss of which can cause cascading impacts throughout the community, extending beyond fishers.

Salinity influences disease-induced mortality of the oyster Crassostrea gigas and infectivity of the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1)

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016
Mortality of young Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas associated with the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) is occurring worldwide. Here, we examined for the first time the effect of salinity on OsHV-1 transmission and disease-related mortality of C.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

IgE Sensitization Patterns of Mothers and Their Offspring in the First Five Years of Life The CHILD Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
The spectrum of allergic sensitization in mothers and their offspring was characterized at ages 1–5 years at an extract‐ and molecular level in a North American birth cohort. Fel d 1 was the primary sensitizer in mothers, followed by Phl p 1. Perennial allergen sensitization (Der f 1, Der p 1) was rare at age one but rose sharply by age five.

Junctional sensitivity and atrophy progression rate of geographic atrophy secondary to age‐related macular degeneration

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the relationship between the baseline junctional retinal sensitivity measured with microperimetry and the atrophy progression rate in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age‐related macular degeneration. Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients with GA were examined with fundus autofluorescence (FAF ...

An Experimental Approach on Pearl Shell (Pinctada margaritifera) for a Microwear Study of Shell Artefacts From French Polynesia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pinctada margaritifera (black‐lipped pearl oyster) artefacts are ubiquitous in the archaeological record throughout the Pacific and particularly in Polynesia. Despite efforts towards the development of typologies, the lack of microwear and use‐wear studies has prevented the development of technological approaches. We used 20 pearl shell valves

Is local all that matters?: An experiment on Canadian consumers’ preferences for produce

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Controlled environment agriculture is important in regions where traditional farming is constrained by short growing seasons. Of particular relevance, vertical farming is an innovative agricultural technology that enables year‐round production in Canada. However, Canadian consumers’ preferences for vertically farmed products remain a knowledge
