A method to evaluate body length of live aquatic vertebrates using digital images
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Traditional methods to measure body lengths of aquatic vertebrates rely on anesthetics, and extended handling times. These procedures can increase stress, potentially affecting the animal's welfare after its release. We developed a simple procedure using

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

A Morphological and Histological Investigation of Imperfect Lungfish Fin Regeneration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Regeneration, the replacement of body parts in a living animal, has excited scientists for centuries and our knowledge of vertebrate appendage regeneration has increased significantly over the past decades.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Tall fescue produces more biomass and less carbon dioxide from the soil when it contains its beneficial fungal endophyte. Increased temperatures projected with climate change reduce fescue biomass, while altered rainfall frequency does not. Altering rainfall frequency and increasing temperatures can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from soil.

Preparing for a Bsal invasion into North America has improved multi-sector readiness
Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile ScienceWestern palearctic salamander susceptibility to the skin disease caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was recognized in 2014, eliciting concerns for a potential novel wave of amphibian declines following the B ...

Skin mucosome activity as an indicator of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans susceptibility in salamanders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Recently emerged fungal diseases, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) are an increasing threat to amphibians worldwide.

The retina visual cycle is driven by cis retinol oxidation in the outer segments of cones [PDF]
, 2017 Vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visual pigments after photoactivation. Cones, which mediate our daytime vision, demand a particularly rapid supply of 11-cis retinal chromophore in ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Plethodon welleri exhibits strong seasonal shifts in elevational activity with abundance and occupancy being linked to terrain characteristics. Despite historical habitat assumptions, P. welleri occurs in a broad range of forest types across a larger elevation gradient. Photo Credit to Maxwell Ramey.

Recurrent turnover of senescent cells during regeneration of a complex structure
eLife, 2015 Cellular senescence has been recently linked to the promotion of age-related pathologies, including a decline in regenerative capacity. While such capacity deteriorates with age in mammals, it remains intact in species such as salamanders, which have an ...
