Bioavailability of (Geno)toxic Contaminants in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Before and After Biological Treatment
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE, 31(4), 176–182.
author keywords: bioremediation; genotoxicity; soil; bioavailability; quinones; MGP
TL;DR:
Both toxicity and genotoxicity of the desorbable constituents in the soil decreased after treatment, suggesting that any genotoxic constituents that may have formed during treatment were primarily associated with less accessible domains in the soils.

Using the emerging Collaborative Cross to probe the immune system
GENES AND IMMUNITY, 15(1), 38–46.
author keywords: Collaborative Cross; Fc epsilon R; QTL
MeSH headings : Animals; B-Lymphocytes / physiology; CD11c Antigen / metabolism; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes / physiology; Genetic Variation; Genome-Wide Association Study; Haplotypes; Immunogenetics / methods; Lymphocyte Subsets / physiology; Mice; Mice, Inbred Strains / genetics; Mice, Inbred Strains / immunology; Quantitative Trait Loci; Receptors, IgE / metabolism; T-Lymphocytes / physiology
TL;DR:
Comparison of overall strain effects in the CC founders with strain effects at QTL in the pre-CC revealed sharp contrasts in the genetic architecture of two traits with significant loci: variation in CD23 can be explained largely by additive genetics at one locus, whereas variation in B-to-T ratio has a more complex etiology.

Population dynamics of the reef manta ray Manta alfredi in eastern Australia
CORAL REEFS, 33(2), 329–342.
author keywords: Program MARK; Photographic identification; Aggregation; Abundance; Survival; Site affinity
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that waters around LEI form a key aggregation site for a large portion of the M. alfredi population in east Australian waters, with multiple resightings within and among years imply a high degree of site affinity by individuals to aggregation sites.

Overcompensation of circulating and local insulin-like growth factor-1 during catch-up growth in hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops Chi Morone saxatilis) following temperature and feeding manipulations
AQUACULTURE, 428, 174–183.
author keywords: Hybrid striped bass; Compensatory growth; Catch-up growth; Insulin-like growth factor; Growth hormone receptor; Myostatin
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that a previous period of feed restriction and cold-acclimation followed by realimentation at more favorable water temperatures produces a strong CG response and catch-up growth in fish.

Genetic susceptibility to interstitial pulmonary fibrosis in mice induced by vanadium pentoxide (V2O5)
FASEB JOURNAL, 28(3), 1098–1112.
author keywords: lung injury; inflammation; collagen; haplotype; mapping
MeSH headings : Animals; Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay; Genetic Predisposition to Disease; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mice, Inbred DBA; Pulmonary Fibrosis / chemically induced; Pulmonary Fibrosis / genetics; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Transforming Growth Factor beta / metabolism; Vanadium Compounds / toxicity
TL;DR:
Pulmonary responses to V2O5, including dose‐dependent increases in lung permeability, inflammation, collagen content, and dysfunction, were significantly greater in DBA/2J mice compared to C57BL/6J mice, suggesting that V2 O5 may induce pulmonary fibrosis through mechanisms distinct from those in other models of pulmonary Fibrosis.

Morphological differentiation among populations of Rhinella marina (Amphibia: Anura) in western Mexico
EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY, 28(1), 69–88.
author keywords: Geometric morphometrics; Mark-recapture; Survival; Predation; Body shape
TL;DR:
This study used the cane toad Rhinella marina to test the hypothesis that populations experiencing a higher abundance of predators should suffer higher mortality rates and exhibit morphological traits associated with enhanced locomotor performance, and found significant differences among populations in survival rates, abundance of predator, and body shape.
