Early Detection of Neuroinflammation and White Matter Damage Following Dorsal Spinal Nerve Root Sectioning in a Nonhuman Primate Model

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Dorsal rhizotomy, or spinal dorsal nerve root lesioning, is a surgical procedure used to treat intractable nerve pain by selectively severing sensory afferent nerve roots. This study aimed to evaluate whether multiparametric MRI, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT), chemical exchange ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Space Use Preferences and Species Proximity in a Mixed-Species Zoo Monkey Exhibit

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
Many zoos display animals in mixed-species exhibits where multiple different species share the same space and potentially interact. This study analyzes a mixed-species exhibit with three New World monkey species (white-faced saki, black-capped squirrel ...

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations and metabolism in aortic intima plus inner media: effect of nutritionally induced atherosclerosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
The concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (monoacyl sn-glycerol 3-phosphorylcholine) in intima plus inner media of atherosclerotic aorta from squirrel monkeys was nearly eight times that in comparable control tissue. Plasma levels of the same compound
