Marine species and ecosystems are widely affected by anthropogenic stressors, ranging from pollution and fishing to climate change. Comprehensive assessments of how species and ecosystems are impacted by anthropogenic stressors are critical for guiding conservation and management investments. Previous global risk or vulnerability assessments have focused on marine habitats, or on limited taxa or specific regions. However, information about the susceptibility of marine species across a range of taxa to different stressors everywhere is required to predict how marine biodiversity will respond to human pressures. We present a novel framework that uses life-history traits to assess species’ vulnerability to a …


Identification Of A Rickettsial Endosymbiont In A Soft Tick Ornithodoros Turicata Americanus, Lichao Liu, Daniel E. Sonenshine, Hameeda Sultana, Girish Neelakanta Jan 2022

Identification Of A Rickettsial Endosymbiont In A Soft Tick Ornithodoros Turicata Americanus, Lichao Liu, Daniel E. Sonenshine, Hameeda Sultana, Girish Neelakanta

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Bacterial endosymbionts are abundantly found in both hard and soft ticks. Occidentia massiliensis, a rickettsial endosymbiont, was first identified in the soft tick Ornithodoros sonrai collected from Senegal and later was identified in a hard tick Africaniella transversale. In this study, we noted the presence of Occidentia species, designated as Occidentia-like species, in a soft tick O. turicata americanus. Sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of the two genetic markers, 16S rRNA and groEL confirmed the presence of Occidentia-like species in O. turicata americanus ticks. The Occidentia-like species was noted to be present in all developmental stages …

Documenting Covid-19 At Uab: A Library’S Role In Preserving Accounts Of The Coronavirus Pandemic, Margaret Wood Balch, Anna Kaetz Jan 2022

Documenting Covid-19 At Uab: A Library’S Role In Preserving Accounts Of The Coronavirus Pandemic, Margaret Wood Balch, Anna Kaetz

Libraries Professional Work

In August of 2020, UAB Libraries of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) launched the Documenting COVID-19 at UAB project, seeking the stories of UAB students, faculty, staff, and health care workers navigating life during COVID-19 to preserve them in a born-digital collection. Since then, ninety-five items have been added to the collection, including photographs, video/audio productions, news items, and personal written accounts. This article discusses the planning and creation of the Documenting COVID-19 at UAB collection and highlights several submissions that provided uniquely insightful information about the pandemic. It also addresses how libraries play a key role in …


Assessing Stress Biomarkers As Embodied Identity In Kentucky’S Green River Archaic, Anna-Marie Casserly Jan 2022

Assessing Stress Biomarkers As Embodied Identity In Kentucky’S Green River Archaic, Anna-Marie Casserly

Theses and Dissertations--Anthropology

The primary goal of this bioarchaeology dissertation research is to investigate the relationship between evidence of social identity and indicators of biological stress in the Green River region of Kentucky during the Late Archaic period (5,000-3,000 BP). Utilizing a biocultural perspective, I examine the ways that aspects of identity and social organization are embodied through the experience of biological stress. This research explores how social differences influence the patterning of osteological stress markers in an Archaic population while problematizing categories of difference that are often naturalized in bioarchaeology, such as gender or age cohorts. In so doing, it contributes to …


‘I Went To The One Game In Town’: Obstetric And Maternity Unit Closures, Dwindling Birth Choices, And Resilience In Rural Appalachia, Sia Beasley Jan 2022

‘I Went To The One Game In Town’: Obstetric And Maternity Unit Closures, Dwindling Birth Choices, And Resilience In Rural Appalachia, Sia Beasley

Theses and Dissertations--Anthropology

Obstetric and maternity health services are being rapidly eliminated in the rural United States, making maternal care more difficult to access and causing negative birth outcomes. Service closures have a magnified impact in Appalachia due to histories of systemic regional and state policy practices which devalue the lives of people living rural areas, local economic marginalization, geographic barriers, and insufficient health infrastructures. This research investigates how women living in rural Appalachia navigate pregnancy and birth amidst constant care closures. The Sunflower Mountain Region is a seven-county area in rural Southern Appalachia. The region has experienced ongoing obstetric closures over the …


Antibiotic Treatment Ameliorates The Impact Of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (Sctld) On Coral Communities, G E. Forrester, Laura Arton, Argel Horton, Katie Nickles, Linda M. Forrester Jan 2022

Antibiotic Treatment Ameliorates The Impact Of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (Sctld) On Coral Communities, G E. Forrester, Laura Arton, Argel Horton, Katie Nickles, Linda M. Forrester

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Stony coral tissue loss disease has spread widely in the Caribbean and causes substantial changes to coral community composition because of its broad host range and high fatality rate. To reduce SCTLD impacts, intervention programs throughout the region have divers treating corals with antibiotics. We assessed the effect of antibiotic treatment in the British Virgin Islands by comparing coral communities at 13 treated sites to those at 13 untreated sites. The prevalence of white syndromes (assumed to be primarily SCTLD), the severity of white syndrome lesions, partial colony mortality and complete colony mortality all showed a qualitative pattern consistent with …


Assortative Mixing In Eastern Spadefoot (Scaphiopus Holbrookii) Spatial Networks Is Driven By Landscape Features, Anne Devan-Song, M. A. Walden, James R. Watson, Anna E. Jolles, Justine M. Fox, Nancy E. Karraker Jan 2022

Assortative Mixing In Eastern Spadefoot (Scaphiopus Holbrookii) Spatial Networks Is Driven By Landscape Features, Anne Devan-Song, M. A. Walden, James R. Watson, Anna E. Jolles, Justine M. Fox, Nancy E. Karraker

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Biotic and abiotic factors drive assortative mixing (preference for or sorting with individuals with similar characteristics) in animal populations on a landscape, with implications for dispersal, population structuring, and other ecological and evolutionary processes. However, patterns and generative mechanisms of assortative mixing are overlooked in amphibians outside of specific life history events such as reproduction. The aims of this project were to determine whether there is assortative mixing by size and life history category in eastern spadefoots (Scaphiopus holbrookii), whether these patterns are preserved across time and spatial scale, and quantify the nature and relative role of various …

An Analysis Of Group Singing Intervention For Patients With Dementia : A Scoping Review Of The Literature, Pongthipok Sootthipong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Music therapists frequently provide services to individuals with dementia. Music therapists employ various techniques such as instrumental playing, improvisation, music listening, and group singing to decelerate cognitive declines, promote social interaction, enhance the quality of life and provide emotional and physiological support to aid in managing symptoms related to dementia. Group singing is one of the most frequently employed music interventions with the elderly population, owing to its multifaceted benefits. In fact, a number of clinical studies have been conducted to examine the impact of group singing on patients with dementia. Given the broad range of approaches and strategies employed …
