Life Sciences Faculty Scholarship

Background—Attention bias towards threat is associated with anxiety in older youth and adults and has been linked with violence exposure. Attention bias may moderate the relationship between violence exposure and anxiety in young children. Capitalizing on measurement advances, the current study examines these relationships at a younger age than previously possible. Methods—Young children (mean age 4.7, ±0.8) from a cross-sectional sample oversampled for violence exposure (N = 218) completed the dot-probe task to assess their attention biases. Observed fear/anxiety was characterized with a novel observational paradigm, the Anxiety Diagnostic Observation Schedule. Mother-reported symptoms were assessed with the Preschool-Age Psychiatric Assessment …

Changes In Litter Quality Caused By Simulated Nitrogen Deposition Reinforce The N-Induced Suppression Of Litter Decay, Linda T. A. Van Diepen, Serita D. Frey, Christopher M. Sthultz, Eric W. Morrison, Rakesh Minocha, Anne Pringle Oct 2015

Changes In Litter Quality Caused By Simulated Nitrogen Deposition Reinforce The N-Induced Suppression Of Litter Decay, Linda T. A. Van Diepen, Serita D. Frey, Christopher M. Sthultz, Eric W. Morrison, Rakesh Minocha, Anne Pringle

Faculty Publications

Rates of nitrogen (N) deposition are increasing in industrialized and rapidly developing nations. Simulated N deposition suppresses plant litter decay rates, in particular for low quality (high lignin) litter. Litter quality is a primary driver of litter decomposition; however, it is not clear how changes in litter quality caused by long-term ecosystem exposure to chronic N additions interact with altered soil N-availability to influence litter decay dynamics. To document the effects of simulated N deposition on litter quality, we conducted a meta-analysis of available litter nutrient data from simulated N deposition experiments in temperate forests. To directly test whether changes …

Global Patterns, Trends, And Drivers Of Water Use Efficiency From 2000 To 2013, Bao-Lin Xue, Qinghua Guo, Alvarez Otto, Jingfeng Xiao, Shengli Tao, Le Li

All Materials

Water use efficiency (WUE; gross primary production [GPP]/evapotranspiration [ET]) estimates the tradeoff between carbon gain and water loss during photosynthesis and is an important link of the carbon and water cycles. Understanding the spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of WUE is helpful for projecting the responses of ecosystems to climate change. Here we examine the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and drivers of WUE at the global scale from 2000 to 2013 using the gridded GPP and ET data derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Our results show that the global WUE has an average value of 1.70 g C/kg H2O …

Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences

In many sensory organs, specialized receptors are strategically arranged to enhance detection sensitivity and acuity. It is unclear whether the olfactory system utilizes a similar organizational scheme to facilitate odor detection. Curiously, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the mouse nose are differentially stimulated depending on the cell location. We therefore asked whether OSNs in different locations evolve unique structural and/or functional features to optimize odor detection and discrimination. Using immunohistochemistry, computational fluid dynamics modeling, and patch clamp recording, we discovered that OSNs situated in highly stimulated regions have much longer cilia and are more sensitive to odorants than those in …


Water Use Efficiency Of China's Terrestrial Ecosystems And Responses To Drought, Yibo Liu, Jingfeng Xiao, Weimin Ju, Shaoqiang Wang, Xiaocui Wu Sep 2015

Water Use Efficiency Of China's Terrestrial Ecosystems And Responses To Drought, Yibo Liu, Jingfeng Xiao, Weimin Ju, Shaoqiang Wang, Xiaocui Wu

All Materials

Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We assessed the magnitude, spatial patterns, and trends of WUE of China’s terrestrial ecosystems and its responses to drought using a process-based ecosystem model. During the period from 2000 to 2011, the national average annual WUE (net primary productivity (NPP)/evapotranspiration (ET)) of China was 0.79 g C kg−1 H2O. Annual WUE decreased in the southern regions because of the decrease in NPP and the increase in ET …


Wearing Memories: Clothing And The Global Lives Of Mourning In Swaziland, Casey Golomski Sep 2015

Wearing Memories: Clothing And The Global Lives Of Mourning In Swaziland, Casey Golomski

Anthropology

This article situates a cultural phenomenon of women’s memory work through clothing in Swaziland. It explores clothing as both action and object of everyday, personalized practice that constitutes psychosocial well-being and material proximities between the living and the dead, namely, in how clothing of the deceased is privately possessed and ritually manipulated by the bereaved. While human and spiritual self-other relations are produced through clothing and its material efficacy, current global ideologies of immaterial mortuary ritual associated with Pentecostalism have emerged as contraries to this local, intersubjective grief work. This article describes how such contrarian ideologies paper over existing global …

Soil Nitrogen Affects Phosphorus Recycling: Foliar Resorption And Plant–Soil Feedbacks In A Northern Hardwood Forest, Craig R. See, Ruth D. Yanai, Melany C. Fisk, Matthew A. Vadeboncoeur, Braulio A. Quintero, Timothy J. Fahey

All Materials

Previous studies have attempted to link foliar resorption of nitrogen and phosphorus to their respective availabilities in soil, with mixed results. Based on resource optimization theory, we hypothesized that the foliar resorption of one element could be driven by the availability of another element. We tested various measures of soil N and P as predictors of N and P resorption in six tree species in 18 plots across six stands at the Bartlett Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, USA. Phosphorus resorption efficiency (P , 0.01) and proficiency (P ¼ 0.01) increased with soil N content to 30 cm depth, suggesting that …

Removal Of Terrestrial Doc In Aquatic Ecosystems Of A Temperate River Network, Wilfred M. Wollheim, Robert J. Stewart, G. R. Aiken, K. D. Butler, N. B. Morse, Joseph E. Salisbury Aug 2015

Removal Of Terrestrial Doc In Aquatic Ecosystems Of A Temperate River Network, Wilfred M. Wollheim, Robert J. Stewart, G. R. Aiken, K. D. Butler, N. B. Morse, Joseph E. Salisbury

Faculty Publications

Surface waters play a potentially important role in the global carbon balance. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes are a major transfer of terrestrial carbon to river systems, and the fate of DOC in aquatic systems is poorly constrained. We used a unique combination of spatially distributed sampling of three DOC fractions throughout a river network and modeling to quantify the net removal of terrestrial DOC during a summer base flow period. We found that aquatic reactivity of terrestrial DOC leading to net loss is low, closer to conservative chloride than to reactive nitrogen. Net removal occurred mainly from the hydrophobic …
