Abstract Acoustic telemetry studies have frequently prioritized linear configurations of hydrophone receivers, such as perpendicular from shorelines or across rivers, to detect the presence tagged aquatic animals. This approach introduces unknown bias when receivers are stationed for convenience at geographic bottlenecks (e.g. mouth an embayment between islands) opposed deployments following a statistical sampling design. We evaluated two‐dimensional acoustic receiver arrays (grids: spread...
Abstract The evaluation of cultural services and values in coastal marine environments has been steadily increasing over the last decade, though significant knowledge gaps remain regarding specific ecosystems such as mangrove forests. To identify these gaps, we provide a summary current literature on values, indicate priority areas where additional research is needed highlight some potential sociocultural impacts associated with losses. studies included this synthesis identified or evaluated...
Abstract Wildfires continue to increase in size, intensity, and duration. There is growing evidence that wildfire smoke adversely impacts clinical outcomes; however, few studies have assessed the impact of wildfires on household air quality subclinical cardiovascular health indicators. We measured continuous indoor outdoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentrations from July–October 2022 at 20 residences rural, mountainous state Montana United States. used a combination...
Green building materials have nontoxic properties and are made from recycled materials. This means they are, in most cases, created renewable resources comparison to non-renewable resources. research aims further improve the justification of green buildings their is undertaken determine validity such construction techniques. utilizes both qualitative quantitative methods through five Australian case studies. The studies, which based on new redeveloped structures, selected via different...
Fishes in northern latitude lakes are at risk from climate-induced warming because the seasonality water temperature is degrading, which can change ecosystem properties and phenology of life-history events. Temperature-dependent embryo development models were developed for a group cold, stenothermic fishes (Salmonidae Coregoninae) to assess potential impacts changes on cisco ( Coregonus artedi ) two populations Lake Superior (Apostle Islands [USA] Thunder Bay [Canada]) one Ontario (USA),...
Peri-alpine lakes are vulnerable to climate warming. Water temperature in these has increased and will likely continue the coming decades, questioning fate of inhabiting aquatic populations. Understanding how coregonine fishes respond changes is great importance as economically ecologically valuable Considering diversity European whitefish from Coregonus genus peri-alpine lakes, we can assume that their response rising temperatures could be diverse. We conducted an experiment explore embryos...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the immune-mediated loss of pancreatic β-cells that produce insulin. The latest advances in stem cell (SC) β-cell differentiation methods have made a replacement therapy for T1D feasible. However, recurring autoimmunity would rapidly destroy transplanted SC β-cells. A promising strategy to overcome immune rejection genetically engineer We previously identified Renalase (Rnls) as novel target protection. Here we show Rnls deletion endows with capacity...
Pygmy Whitefish (Prosopium coulterii) are a small, glacial relict species with disjunct distribution in North America and Siberia. In 2013 we collected at 28 stations from throughout Lake Superior. Total length was recorded for all fish weight sex were scales otoliths subsample. We compared the precision of estimated ages between readers otoliths, von Bertalanffy growth parameters male female Whitefish, reported first weight-length relationship Whitefish. Age estimates differed significantly...
Replenishment of pancreatic beta cells is a key to the cure for diabetes. Beta regeneration achieved predominantly by self-replication especially in rodents, but it was also shown that duct can transdifferentiate into cells. How undergo transdifferentiated and whether we could manipulate transdifferentiation replenish cell mass not well understood. Using genome-wide CRISPR screen, discovered loss-of-function ALDH3B2 sufficient human functional beta-like The have significant increase marker...
ABSTRACT The greatest known global response of lakes to climate change has been an increase in water temperatures. responses many lake fishes warming temperatures are projected be inadequate counter the speed and magnitude change. We experimentally evaluated embryos from a group cold, stenothermic (Salmonidae Coregoninae) increased incubation Study groups included cisco ( Coregonus artedi ) Superior Ontario (USA), vendace C. albula European whitefish lavaretus Lake Southern Konnevesi...
Abstract Changes in winter conditions, such as decreased ice coverage and duration, have been observed the Laurentian Great Lakes for more than 20 years. Such changes hypothesized to be linked low Coregonus spp. survival age-1 most cisco ( artedi ) populations are autumn spawners whose embryos incubate under throughout winter. The quantity of light during is regulated by coverage, affects embryo development some teleosts. We experimentally evaluated how from lakes Superior Ontario respond...

Abstract After more than 40 years of stocking, lake trout ( Salvelinus namaycush ) in Lake Champlain have started to exhibit strong, natural recruitment. The abrupt surge recruitment suggests a change limiting factors such as prey availability or overwinter survival. distribution juvenile wild varies relative abundance among regions Champlain. differences suggest the base, foraging success, may vary geographically within lake. Stocked and differ their ability use resources One metric that...
