(2016)
Sclerosing mesenteritis falls within a spectrum of primary idiopathic inflammatory and fibrotic processes that affect the mesentery. The exact etiology has not been determined, although
the following associations have ...
Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
(2016)
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
Health effects from exposure to atmospheric mineral dust near Las Vegas, NV, USA
(2016-09)
Desert areas are usually characterized by a continuous deposition of fine airborne particles. Over time, this process results in the accumulation of silt and clay on desert surfaces. We evaluated health effects associated ...
A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)
Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ...
Applying Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership Principles to Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks
(2016)
With real-world relevance and translatability as important goals, applied methodological approaches have arisen along the
participatory continuum that value context and empower stakeholders to partner actively with academics ...
Does Land Degradation Increase Poverty in Developing Countries?
(2016-05-11)
Land degradation is a global problem that particularly impacts the poor rural inhabitants of low and middle-income countries. We improve upon existing literature by estimating the extent of rural populations in 2000 and ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
