Detection of Babesia odocoilei in Ixodes scapularis Ticks Collected from Songbirds in Ontario and Quebec, Canada

Pathogens, 2020
Songbirds widely disperse ticks that carry a diversity of pathogens, some of which are pathogenic to humans. Among ticks commonly removed from songbirds, the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can harbor any combination of nine zoonotic pathogens ...

Predicting present and future habitats using LiDAR to integrate research and monitoring with landscape analyses

The Forestry Chronicle
Managed forests contribute to both economic and non-timber values, but the ecological role of managed, including planted, forests to biodiversity objectives at the landscape scale needs to be better understood.

Leveraging automated radio telemetry to understand avian presence on a military airfield

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Bird-aircraft collisions, or bird strikes, are a costly incident for the aviation industry. Bird strikes occur most often at low altitudes, which means that the airfield itself is an area of high risk for strikes to occur.

A subcortical circuit linking the cerebellum to the basal ganglia engaged in vocal learning

eLife, 2018
Speech is a complex sensorimotor skill, and vocal learning involves both the basal ganglia and the cerebellum. These subcortical structures interact indirectly through their respective loops with thalamo-cortical and brainstem networks, and directly via ...

Cross-species conservation in the regulation of parvalbumin by perineuronal nets

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023
Parvalbumin (PV) neurons play an integral role in regulating neural dynamics and plasticity. Therefore, understanding the factors that regulate PV expression is important for revealing modulators of brain function. While the contribution of PV neurons to
