Riparian Management In Intensive Grazing Systems For Improved Biodiversity And Environmental Quality: Productive Grazing, Healthy Rivers, S. R. Aarons, M. Jones-Lennon, P. Papas, N. Ainsworth, F. Ede, J. Davies Mar 2023

Riparian Management In Intensive Grazing Systems For Improved Biodiversity And Environmental Quality: Productive Grazing, Healthy Rivers, S. R. Aarons, M. Jones-Lennon, P. Papas, N. Ainsworth, F. Ede, J. Davies

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Within high rainfall intensive grazing systems of southern Victoria, riparian zones are often degraded due to vegetation clearing, stock access and inappropriate farm management. Streams in these landscapes often have poor water quality and reduced biodiversity due to degraded terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Improved management of riparian zones depends on developing tools and practices for integration into productive grazing systems. This paper describes the approaches used and the tools developed in the ‘Productive Grazing, Healthy Rivers: Improving riparian and in-stream biodiversity’ project.

Effects Of Disturbance And Conspecific Negative Density Dependence On Forest Composition And Diversity: A Simulation-Based Approach, David M. Chan, Benjamin S. Ramage, Matthew E. Mills Mar 2023

Effects Of Disturbance And Conspecific Negative Density Dependence On Forest Composition And Diversity: A Simulation-Based Approach, David M. Chan, Benjamin S. Ramage, Matthew E. Mills

Spora: A Journal of Biomathematics

Forests provide a wide range of services to humans and create critical habitat for countless species. Tree species composition and diversity, key attributes of forest health and identity, are influenced by both disturbance and conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD). These factors have been thoroughly researched in isolation, but much less is known about how they interact. We present results of a simulation model constructed to investigate the interactions of variable CNDD strengths and disturbance types. We found that while CNDD consistently increased diversity, the magnitude of this effect was heavily influenced by the disturbance regime. The difference between weak and …

Second Language Acquiescence Of Multilingual Students In Tanzania, Ann E. Roemer Mar 2023

Second Language Acquiescence Of Multilingual Students In Tanzania, Ann E. Roemer

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

This research, conducted at a major university in Tanzania, investigated the personal experiences of multilingual students vis-à-vis the government's language policy requiring Swahili as the language of instruction (LoI) at the primary level and English at the secondary level. The participants, who spoke 25 different languages as their L1, were placed into 49 different language groups and asked to write what they remembered about the language policy where they attended school. The data show that Gramsci's cultural hegemony is occurring in Tanzania. The 'common sense' is that people truly believe English is symbolic of prestige and power–even though few people …

Using Music And Storytelling As Strategies For Conservation Education, Frances Hincks Mar 2023

Using Music And Storytelling As Strategies For Conservation Education, Frances Hincks

Honors College Theses

Given the frequently negative effects each person imposes on their environment (e.g., resource consumption, use of private and public land, and waste production), the public needs to be included in conservation messaging to sustain a healthy, functioning planet. People are generally not informed about conservation topics, which creates difficulties in creating a conservation mindset. Moreover, there is a disconnect between conservation research and presenting conservation related topics to the public in a coherent, accessible format. Thus, conservation education messaging strategies need to be evaluated to determine which are most effective. The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness …

Benson, Jens Walter

Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences: Faculty Publications

Enrichment of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) has been consistently detected in subsets of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Although some AIEC strains cause colitis in animal models, these studies did not systematically compare AIEC with non-AIEC strains, and causal links between AIEC and disease are still disputed. Specifically, it remains unclear whether AIEC shows enhanced pathogenicity compared to that of commensal E. coli found in the same ecological microhabitat and if the in vitro phenotypes used to classify strains as AIEC are pathologically relevant. Here, we utilized in vitro phenotyping and a murine model of intestinal inflammation to systematically compare …

Young Astrocytic Mitochondria Attenuate The Elevated Level Of Ccl11 In The Aged Mice, Contributing To Cognitive Function Improvement, Ryosuke Tashiro, Dan Ozaki, Jesus Bautista-Garrido, Guanghua Sun, Lidiya Obertas, Alexis S Mobley, Gab Seok Kim, Jaroslaw Aronowski, Joo Eun Jung Mar 2023

Young Astrocytic Mitochondria Attenuate The Elevated Level Of Ccl11 In The Aged Mice, Contributing To Cognitive Function Improvement, Ryosuke Tashiro, Dan Ozaki, Jesus Bautista-Garrido, Guanghua Sun, Lidiya Obertas, Alexis S Mobley, Gab Seok Kim, Jaroslaw Aronowski, Joo Eun Jung

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Aging drives cognitive decline, and mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of age-induced neurodegeneration. Recently, we demonstrated that astrocytes secrete functional mitochondria (Mt), which help adjacent cells to resist damage and promote repair after neurological injuries. However, the relationship between age-dependent changes in astrocytic Mt function and cognitive decline remains poorly understood. Here, we established that aged astrocytes secret less functional Mt compared to young astrocytes. We found the aging factor C-C motif chemokine 11 (CCL11) is elevated in the hippocampus of aged mice, and that its level is reduced upon systemic administration of young Mt, in vivo. Aged mice receiving …

Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early event in the pathogenesis of neurologic disorders and aging. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) regulates mitochondrial function in response to the cellular environment through the reversible deacetylation of proteins involved in metabolism and reactive oxygen species detoxification. As the primary mitochondrial deacetylase, germline, or peripheral tissue-specific deletion of SIRT3 produces mitochondrial hyperacetylation and the accelerated development of age-related diseases. Given the unique metabolic demands of neurons, the role of SIRT3 in the brain is only beginning to emerge. Using mass spectrometry-based acetylomics, high-resolution respirometry, video-EEG, and cognition testing, we report targeted deletion of SIRT3 from select neurons …
