First Record Of Leucism In The Genus Peromyscus (Mammalia: Rodentia), Issac Camargo, Evelyn Rios, Cristian Cornejo-Latorre, Sergio Ticul Álvarez-Castañeda
First Record Of Leucism In The Genus Peromyscus (Mammalia: Rodentia), Issac Camargo, Evelyn Rios, Cristian Cornejo-Latorre, Sergio Ticul Álvarez-Castañeda
Western North American Naturalist
Leucism is a partial hypopigmentary congenital disorder previously recorded in several species of mammals. This abnormal coloration is unusual in the wild. In August 2013, in the Baja California State, México, we collected two Peromyscus fraterculus (one female and one male) exhibiting leucism. Leucism has not been reported before ingenus Peromyscus, therefore, we documented the first known record. Leucism is a reflex of low levels of genetic diversity in natural populations. It may increase selective pressure on individuals.

Why is manga history so important in Tatsumi's manga biography? Is A Drifting Life an autobiography, or, is it a history of the Japanese comic books, particularly the "mature-audience" gekiga sub-genre? Both? Neither? How do the narratives of history and self intertwine? How should we read the gekiga (dramatic pictures) in this manga?

Background: Altered intestinal function is prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF), but its role in adverse outcomes is unclear. Objectives: This study investigated the potential pathophysiological contributions of intestinal microbiota in HF. Methods: We examined the relationship between fasting plasma trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) and all-cause mortality over a 5-year follow-up in 720 patients with stable HF. Results:The median TMAO level was 5.0 μM, which was higher than in subjects without HF (3.5 μM; p < 0.001). There was modest but significant correlation between TMAO concentrations and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels (r = 0.23; p < 0.001). Higher plasma TMAO levels were associated with a 3.4-fold increased mortality risk. Following adjustments for traditional risk factors and BNP levels, elevated TMAO levels remained predictive of 5-year mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.42 to 3.43; p < 0.001), as well as following the addition of estimated glomerular filtration rate to the model (HR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.86; p < 0.001). Conclusions: High TMAO levels were observed in patients with HF, and elevated TMAO levels portended higher long-term mortality risk independent of traditional risk factors and cardiorenal indexes.
Home-Range Size And Subadult Dispersal Of Black Bears In The Cascade Range Of Western Oregon, Dave Immell, Dewaine H. Jackson, Margaret C. Boulay
Home-Range Size And Subadult Dispersal Of Black Bears In The Cascade Range Of Western Oregon, Dave Immell, Dewaine H. Jackson, Margaret C. Boulay
Western North American Naturalist
Knowledge of home range size and subadult dispersal activity of North American black bears is essential for understanding the complexity of how bears interact within populations and the environment. During 1993-98, we monitored 96 radiocollared black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Cascade Range of western Oregon to estimate home range and dispersal movements. Composite fixed-kernel home ranges were calculated for 37 bears. Mean home range size differed between sexes (189.7 km2 for males and 33.6 km2 for females); however, there was no difference between subadult and adult male or subadult and adult female mean home range …

Rediscovered Populations Of The Idaho Point-Headed Grasshopper, Acrolophitus Pulchellus (Bruner), 1890 (Orthoptera: Acrididae), Beth A. Waterbury
Western North American Naturalist
The Idaho point-headed grasshopper, Acrolophitus pulchellus, is a rare endemic of the Sinks Drainages of east-central Idaho. Past collections were infrequent and found few specimens. Searches in 1993 failed to find specimens, leading to speculaton that A. pulchellus was extinct. I report rediscovered populations of A. pulchellus based on 55 capture records (10 collected); describe distribution, habitat, morphological, and life history information; and present the first photos of live adult specimens.

The Influence Of The Projected Coordinate System On Animal Home Range Estimation Area, Michael Barr
The Influence Of The Projected Coordinate System On Animal Home Range Estimation Area, Michael Barr
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Animal home range estimations are important for conservation planning and protecting the habitat of threatened species. The accuracy of home range calculations is influenced by the map projection chosen in a geographic information system (GIS) for data analysis. Different methods of projection will distort spatial data in different ways, so it is important to choose a projection that meets the needs of the research. The large number of projections in use today and the lack of distortion comparison between the various types make selecting the most appropriate projection a difficult decision. The purpose of this study is to quantify and …
Use Of A Towed Camera System For Estimating Reef Fish Populations Densities On The West Florida Shelf, Sarah Elizabeth Grasty
Use Of A Towed Camera System For Estimating Reef Fish Populations Densities On The West Florida Shelf, Sarah Elizabeth Grasty
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Reef fish species tend to reside over high relief habitat which makes them difficult to sample with traditional gears such as nets and trawls. Therefore, implementing and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of new approaches which incorporate acoustic and optical methods has become a priority for reef fish stock assessment. Beginning in June of 2013, a towed camera system known as the Camera-Based Assessment Survey System (C-BASS) has been used to visualize over 500 kilometers of transect and record more than 80 hours of video over several habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. Surveys have been completed on the West …

Demographic Monitoring And Population Viability Analysis Of Two Rare Beardtongues From The Uinta Basin, Rebecca M. Mccaffery, Rita Reisor, Kathryn Irvine, Jessi Brunson
Western North American Naturalist
Energy development, in combination with other environmental stressors, poses a persistent threat to rare species endemic to the energy-producing regions of the Western United States. Demographic analyses of monitored populations can provide key information on the natural dynamics of threatened plant and animal populations, and how they might be affected by ongoing and future development. In the Uinta Basin in Utah and Colorado, Graham’s beardtongue (Penstemon grahamii) and White River beardtongue (Penstemon scariosus var. albifluvis) are two rare endemic wildflowers that persist on oil shale habitats heavily impacted by current energy exploration and development, and slated …

Influence Of Nonnative And Native Ungulate Biomass And Seasonal Precipitation On The Vegetation Production In A Great Basin Ecosystem, Linda C. Zeigenfuss, Kathryn A. Schoenecker, Jason I. Ransom, Drew A. Ignizio, Tracy Mask
Western North American Naturalist
The negative effects of equid grazers in semi-arid ecosystems of the American West has been considered to be disproportionate to the influence of native ungulates in these systems because of their large body size, hoof shape, and short history on the landscape relative to native grazers. Tools which can model the degree of influence of various grazers in an ecosystem and separate these effects from those caused by other variables (climate, anthropomorphic disturbances) can be useful to managers in determining location of non-native grazer impacts and assessing the effect of management actions targeted at different grazer populations. We used remotely …

Reproduction And Pollination Of The Endangered Dwarf Bear-Poppy Arctomecon Humilis (Papaveraceae) Across A Quarter Century: Unraveling Of A Pollination Web?, Vincent J. Tepedino, John Mull, Terry L. Griswold, Gerald Bryant
Western North American Naturalist
Arctomecon humilis, a rare gypsophile of the extreme northeastern Mojave Desert, is restricted to a few isolated populations (occurrences) in Washington Co, Utah (USA). At several points in the past quarter century, we have studied the breeding system and reproductive success of this endangered species, recorded its pollinators and tested the feasibility of human-assisted gene flow by conducting reciprocal crosses between two isolated occurrences approximately 4 km apart. We found A. humilis to possess a mixed breeding system in the occurrence studied (Beehive Dome in 1988); some plants exhibited self-compatibility but fruit/flowers and seeds/fruit were significantly lower in pollinator-effected …

Population Genetic Structure Of The Baird's Pocket Gopher, Geomys Breviceps, In Eastern Texas, Sarah R. Welborn, Jessica E. Light
Western North American Naturalist
The Baird’s pocket gopher (Geomys breviceps) is a solitary, fossorial rodent found throughout areas of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. These rodents are highly modified morphologically for an underground lifestyle, often resulting in limited vagility and isolated populations. Despite these unique characteristics, little is known about the population genetics of pocket gophers. We used mitochondrial and microsatellite data and performed a series of population genetic analyses to better understand the population structure and gene flow among a series of G. brevicepslocalities. Population genetic analyses supported high levels of gene flow among nearby localities (within 2 km of …

Studying The Evolutionary Basis Of Emotions Through Adaptive Neuroagents: Preliminary Settings And Results, D Pacella, O Gigliotta, O Miglino
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
We propose a method to investigate the adaptive and evolutionary function of emotions and affective states, in our case of ancestral fear - using Artificial Life and Evolutionary Robotics techniques. For this purpose, we developed a hybrid software-hardware capable to train artificial neuroagents equipped with a sensory-motor apparatus inspired on the iCub humanoid robot features. We trained populations of these agents throughout a genetic algorithm to perform a well-known neuropsychological task adapted to study emotional phenomena. The robots learnt to discriminate stressful emotional conditions (coping with “dangerous” stimuli) and no-stress conditions. Varying the network structures, the experimental conditions and comparing …

The Breeding Biology Of Pheasant Tailed Jacana, Hydrophasianus Chirurgus In Wetlands Of Pakistan, Zahid Iqbal Khan, Mohammad Shareef Mughal
Journal of Bioresource Management
Pheasant Tailed Jacana, Hydrophasianus chirurgus is an attractive bird sustaining its presence in wetlands of Pakistan during summers. To facilitate conservation, the breeding biology of specific birds was recorded during 2004-07. According to the observations, the clutch size remains between 1-4 eggs, and most of the fertile females laid 2 consecutive clutches to hand over to two different males for hatching and chick rearing. Incubation calculated between 25-29 days hatchability was found to be around 80%. Defensive responses, egg laying, and chick care were observed to better understand the general behaviour of the species.

Using Random Forest In The Field Of Metabolomics, Curtis White
Theses and Dissertations
Metabolomics is the science of comprehensive evaluation of changes in the metabolome with a goal to elucidate underlying biological mechanisms of a living system. There is an opinion in the field of metabolomics, the study of the set of metabolites present within an organism, cell, or tissue, that the future development of the field is contingent upon two factors. One of the factors is the advancement of analytical instrumentation, and the other is developing data mining methodologies for extracting meaningful and interpretable experimental results. There are many different types of data mining methodologies, but the undertaking of selecting a particular …
