(2017)Background The development of new-growth communities of Latino immigrants in southern states has challenged the traditional health and social service infrastructure. An interprofessional team of service providers, Latino ... -
Risk assessment based on indirect predation cues: revisiting fine-grained variation
(2015-10)To adaptively express inducible defenses, prey must gauge risk based on indirect cues of predation. However, the information contained in indirect cues that enable prey to fine-tune their phenotypes to variation in risk ... -
Risk aversion in the use of complex kidneys in paired exchange programs: Opportunities for even more transplants?
(2022-02-18)This retrospective review of the largest United States kidney exchange reports characteristics, utilization, and recipient outcomes of kidneys with simple compared to complex anatomy and extrapolates reluctance to accept ... -
Screening of biocatalysts for synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone.
(2020-09-16)Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess “promiscuous” catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we ... -
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2016-12-22)A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ... -
