Tracking of Arctic terns Sterna paradisaea reveals longest animal migration

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2010
The study of long-distance migration provides insights into the habits and performance of organisms at the limit of their physical abilities. The Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea is the epitome of such behavior; despite its small size (

Vine copula knockoffs for variable selection in gene expression studies

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying clinical and genetic markers is essential for stratifying cancer patients by survival outcomes and guiding personalized treatment strategies. However, gene expression studies often involve high‐dimensional predictors with mixed data types and complex dependence, which complicates reliable variable selection.

Climatological Effects on the Breeding of Terns [PDF]

IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2008
The physical circulation in the Western Indian Ocean controls the supply of nutrients, and this, combined with the stability of the surface layer and the availability of sunlight controls the primary production. In this note, we review two papers' findings on how the physical conditions ultimately impact upon the breeding of terns, a marinetop predator

Programmable type III-A CRISPR-Cas DNA targeting modules. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The CRISPR-Cas systems provide invader defense in a wide variety of prokaryotes, as well as technologies for many powerful applications. The Type III-A or Csm CRISPR-Cas system is one of the most widely distributed across prokaryotic phyla, and cleaves ...

Bile acid metabolism and signaling in human and animal health: A One Health perspective

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Bile acids maintain host homeostasis through enterohepatic circulation, microbial transformation, and bile acid receptor signaling, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, intestinal barrier integrity, and immunity. These effects support human disease intervention and health‐oriented animal production, reducing drug dependence and residue ...

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Experimental infection of Common Terns with Tern virus: Influenza Virus A/Tern/South Africa/1961 [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1967
Experimental infection of captive Common Terns with Influenza virus A/Tern/South Africa/1961 reproduced the disease seen in the 1961 epizootic during which Tern virus was originally isolated. Infected terns excreted virus in their droppings. At death a viraemia was present but immunofluorescent studies determined the sites at which virus reproduction ...

Oral GLP‐1RA TERN‐601 for Adults With Obesity/Overweight: Placebo‐Controlled, Multiple‐Ascending‐Dose, Phase 1 and 2 Studies

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of TERN‐601, a once‐daily, oral small‐molecule glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonist, were studied in Phase 1 and 2 clinical studies. Methods The Phase 1 (28‐day) and Phase 2 (12‐week), randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, multiple‐ascending‐dose studies ...

Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns

Avian Conservation and Ecology
When closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a

Social attraction used to establish Caspian tern nesting colonies in San Francisco Bay

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Conservation of colonial waterbird breeding populations often includes restoring historic nesting habitat or establishing new nesting habitat in protected areas.
