Sex- And Age - Specific Migratory Strategies Of Blue Whales In The Northeast Pacific, Christina Blevins Dec 2021

Sex- And Age - Specific Migratory Strategies Of Blue Whales In The Northeast Pacific, Christina Blevins

Biology ETDs

Sequential subsampling of blue whale baleen plates can yield information of individual migratory plasticity of this endangered species in the northeast Pacific Ocean. We measured δ13C and δ15N isotope values along baleen from thirteen whales of different age and sex. Results showed sex/age-specific migratory strategies. Adult females exhibited relatively stable cyclical movements between temperate and subtropical regions. Adult males exhibited two strategies, most remained within temperate latitudes, whereas two migrated to subtropical latitudes. Movement patterns in juveniles were erratic. These patterns are potentially driven by energetic requirements of females, intraspecific competitions among adult males, and inexperience in locating prey in …

Understanding Coralline Algal Responses To Ocean Acidification: Meta‐Analysis And Synthesis, Ce Cornwall, Ben P. Harvey, Steeve Comeau, Dl Cornwall, Jason Hall‐Spencer, Viviana Peña, Shigeki Wada, Lucia Porzio

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to the persistence of biogenic reefs throughout the world's ocean. Coralline algae are comprised of high magnesium calcite and have long been considered one of the most susceptible taxa to the negative impacts of OA. We summarize these impacts and explore the causes of variability in coralline algal responses using a review/qualitative assessment of all relevant literature, meta-analysis, quantitative assessment of critical responses, and a discussion of physiological mechanisms and directions for future research. We find that most coralline algae experienced reduced abundance, calcification rates, recruitment rates, and declines in pH within the …

Vitamin D And Vitamin D-Binding Protein In Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Eman R. Amer, Gehan F. Oreby, Sahar H. Quashwa

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background and aim Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease caused by destruction of pancreatic islet βcells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. The D vitamins are a group of sterols that have a hormone-like function, which bind to vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D (25(OH) D) deficiency is involved in the induction of autoimmune destruction of β-cells and onset of T1DM. The majority of circulating 25(OH) D is bound to vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), which protects it from biodegradation, limits its access to target tissues, and helps its reabsorption from the kidneys. VDBP also binds fatty acids, activates macrophages, …
