Turbidity, Waterfowl Herbivory, and Propagule Banks Shape Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Ponds

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The aquatic vegetation in nutrient-rich shallow lakes and ponds is structured by the interplay of multiple biotic and abiotic drivers. We tested the contribution of the macrophyte propagule bank and the delayed as well as direct impact of waterbirds on ...

First Report of the Malacosporean Parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in the Faroe Islands Reveals Widespread Distribution and High Prevalence in Brown Trout

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae (Tb), the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonids, has predominantly been reported in temperate regions of continental Europe and North America. Here, we present the first record of Tb in the Faroe Islands, extending the known northern distribution of the ...

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

Molecular characterization of two novel reoviruses isolated from Muscovy ducklings in Guangdong, China

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Novel Muscovy duck reovirus (N-MDRV), emerged in southeast China in 2002, which can infect a wide range of waterfowl and induces clinical signs and cytopathic effects that are distinct from those of classical MDRV, and continues to cause high ...

Wintering Barnacle Geese Exhibit an Increased Behavioural Drive for Sleep After Sleep Deprivation Without a Clear EEG‐Based Sleep Rebound

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for normal physiological functioning, and sleep deprivation is typically compensated by increasing subsequent sleep duration and/or intensity. However, a recent study showed that barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) exhibit seasonal variation in sleep homeostasis, with full recovery of sleep after sleep deprivation in summer ...

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...
