A High Resolution Study Of Long-Term Vertebrate Decomposition In Human And Animal Model Systems, Lois S. Taylor
A High Resolution Study Of Long-Term Vertebrate Decomposition In Human And Animal Model Systems, Lois S. Taylor
Doctoral Dissertations
The effects of vertebrate decomposition are wide-ranging across multiple foodwebs, and have been shown to persist in the environment, however there is a lack of systematic assessment of these changes over long periods of time or in sufficiently high resolution as to resolve seasonal flux patterns. The ultimate aim of this body of research was to explore nematode systematics in decomposition environments, culminating in a pair of long-term human decomposition seasonal trials, in high resolution, with the specific intent of integrating the fields of soil chemistry, microbial ecology, and nematology in order to assess the relationships of cross-disciplinary impacts. Of …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal prepartum dietary energy source (forage vs. concentrate) during mid- and late-gestation on offspring growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality.

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
Environmental sources of infection can play a primary role in shaping epidemiological dynamics; however, the relative impact of environmental transmission on host-pathogen systems is rarely estimated. We developed and fit a spatially explicit model of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in wild boar to estimate what proportion of carcassbased transmission is contributing to the low-level persistence of ASFV in Eastern European wild boar. Our model was developed based on ecological insight and data from field studies of ASFV and wild boar in Eastern Poland. We predicted that carcass- based transmission would play a substantial role in persistence, especially in low-density …
