The debate for a fair, equitable, and reasonable pathology fellowship application and selection process has been an ongoing issue with ebb and flow over approximately the past 10 years. The authors of this commentary have ...
Temporal dynamics of genetic clines of invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in eastern North America
(2018-06-08)
Two genetically distinct lineages of European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) were in- dependently introduced to eastern North America, the first in the early 19th century and the second in the late 20th century. These ...
The Populus holobiont: dissecting the effects of plant niches and genotype on the microbiome
(2018-02-12)
Background: Microorganisms serve important functions within numerous eukaryotic host organisms. An understanding of the variation in the plant niche-level microbiome, from rhizosphere soils to plant canopies, is imperative ...
The influence of impact-based severe weather warnings on risk perceptions and intended protective actions
(2018-04-03)
This paper presents the results of an online survey of the New Zealand public (n = 1364), conducted in 2015, that tested the influence of impact-based severe weather warnings on risk perceptions and intended protective ...
Time course metabolome of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass confirms correlation between leptin, body weight and the microbiome
(2018-05-31)
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective way to lose weight and reverse type 2 dia- betes. We profiled the metabolome of 18 obese patients (nine euglycemic and nine diabet- ics) that underwent RYGB surgery and seven ...
