Temporal variability is a personalized feature of the human microbiome
GENOME BIOLOGY, 15(12).
Contributors: G. Flores *, J. Caporaso*, J. Henley *, J. Rideout *, D. Domogala*, J. Chase*, J. Leff*, Y. Vázquez-Baeza *
MeSH headings : Adult; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Feces / microbiology; Female; Forehead / microbiology; Genome, Bacterial; Genomics / methods; Hand / microbiology; Healthy Volunteers; Humans; Longitudinal Studies; Male; Microbiota; Middle Aged; Phylogeny; Tongue / microbiology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that temporal dynamics may need to be considered when attempting to link changes in microbiome structure to changes in health status, and show that not only is the composition of an individual’s microbiome highly personalized, but their degree of temporal variability is also a personalized feature.

Soy but not bisphenol A (BPA) induces hallmarks of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related metabolic co-morbidities in rats
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICOLOGY, 49, 209–218.
author keywords: Phytoestrogens; Genistein; Endocrine disruptors; Ovary; Development
MeSH headings : Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds / adverse effects; Diet / adverse effects; Endocrine Disruptors / adverse effects; Female; Ovary / drug effects; Ovary / pathology; Phenols / adverse effects; Polycystic Ovary Syndrome / chemically induced; Polycystic Ovary Syndrome / pathology; Pregnancy; Rats; Rats, Wistar; Soy Foods / adverse effects; Testosterone / blood
TL;DR:
Lifetime exposure to a soy diet, containing endocrine active phytoestrogens, but not developmental exposure to the endocrine disrupting monomer bisphenol A (BPA), can induce key features of PCOS in the rat, results which support the hypothesis that hormonally active diets may contribute to risk when consumed throughout gestation and post-natal life.

MeSH headings : Agriculture; Case-Control Studies; Cohort Studies; Consanguinity; Gene-Environment Interaction; Humans; Male; Occupational Exposure; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Principal Component Analysis; Research Design
TL;DR:
This analysis rejects the hypothesis that individuals in the case–control study of prostate cancer exhibit cryptic relatedness, and these findings are important for all subsequent analyses of gene–environment interactions in the AHS.

Nanofibrous membranes for single-step immobilization of hyperthermophilic enzymes
JOURNAL OF MEMBRANE SCIENCE, 472, 251–260.
author keywords: Enzyme immobilization; Nanofibers; Electrospinning; Chemical crosslinking; Hyperthermophilic enzymes
TL;DR:
Analysis of this immobilization method indicates that the apparent decrease in specific activity could be attributed to enzyme deactivation arising from the crosslinking reaction, whereas mass transfer limits the apparent activity using alternative two-step immobilization methods.

Limited sex-biased neural gene expression patterns across strains in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
BMC GENOMICS, 15.
author keywords: Sexual dimorphism; Sexual plasticity; Brain; Danio rerio; Sex; Gene expression; Transcriptome; RNA-sequencing; Gene coexpression network
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain / metabolism; Female; Fish Proteins / genetics; Fish Proteins / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation; Gene Regulatory Networks; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Sequence Analysis, RNA; Sex Factors; Zebrafish / anatomy & histology; Zebrafish / classification; Zebrafish / genetics
TL;DR:
Despite differences in morphology, physiology, and behavior, there is limited sex-biased neural gene expression in zebrafish, and genes found to be sex- biased are associated with hormone biosynthesis, suggesting that sex steroid hormones may be key contributors to sexual behavioral plasticity seen in teleosts.

Influence of edible fruit coatings on Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) oviposition and development
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PEST MANAGEMENT, 60(4), 279–286.
author keywords: invasive species; blueberry; raspberry; oviposition deterrent
TL;DR:
It is suggested that obtaining thorough, even coverage in the field will be essential if edible coatings are to be used as a management strategy for D. suzukii infestation, and two carnauba wax-based coatings, PrimaFresh 45 and Raynox, dramatically reduced survivorship of immature D.suzukII in raspberries, but not in blueberries.

Evidence for Diet-Driven Habitat Partitioning of Melanoplinae and Gomphocerinae (Orthoptera: Acrididae) Along a Vegetation Gradient in a Western Oklahoma Grassland
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 43(5), 1209–1214.
author keywords: Acrididae; feeding habit; habitat partitioning; factor analysis
MeSH headings : Animals; Diet; Ecosystem; Grasshoppers / growth & development; Grasshoppers / physiology; Grassland; Nymph / growth & development; Nymph / physiology; Oklahoma; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
Afactor analysis indicated that forb cover and grass cover contributed more than litter and bare ground cover to the relative abundance of these grasshopper subfamilies and it is concluded that this is evidence for dietary-based habitat partitioning as observed through subfamilial relative abundance.

Ecologists, educators, and writers collaborate with the public to assess backyard diversity in The School of Ants Project
ECOSPHERE, 5(7).
Contributors: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n, C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: ants; citizen science; distribution; diversity; public participation in scientific research; urban ecosystems
TL;DR:
Data from the School of Ants program indicate that ant diversity varies across wide geographic scales and that there can be high levels of native ant diversity where people live, and to address concerns about the validity of citizen scientist-derived data, a ground truthing trial was conducted that confirmed that trained and untrained volunteers were equally effective at collecting ants.

Defining and Evaluating the Umbrella Species Concept for Conserving and Restoring Landscape Connectivity
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 28(6), 1584–1593.
author keywords: circuit theory; corridor; dispersal; landscape connectivity; modeling; surrogate species; conectividad de paisajes; corredor; dispersion; especies sustitutas; modelado; teoria de circuitos
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Birds / physiology; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Ecosystem; Endangered Species; Forests; Models, Biological; North Carolina; Ranidae / physiology
TL;DR:
It is contended that when there are no irreconcilable differences between the dispersal habitats of species that cohabitate on the landscape, managing for umbrella species can help conserve or restore connectivity simultaneously for multiple threatened species with different habitat requirements.
