Prenatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure alters the transcriptome of the neonate rat amygdala in a sex-specific manner: a CLARITY-BPA consortium study

NEUROTOXICOLOGY, 65, 207–220.

By: S. Arambula n, D. Jima n & H. Patisaul n 

author keywords: Endocrine disruptor; EDC; Brain; Oxytocin; Sex difference; Estrogen; Androgen
MeSH headings : Amygdala / drug effects; Amygdala / metabolism; Animals; Animals, Newborn; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Ethinyl Estradiol / pharmacology; Female; Male; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / metabolism; Rats; Sex Characteristics; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Transcriptome / drug effects

Immune loss as a driver of coexistence during host-phage coevolution

ISME JOURNAL, 12(2), 585–597.

By: J. Weissman *, R. Holmes*, R. Barrangou n , S. Moineau *, W. Fagan*, B. Levin*, P. Johnson*

MeSH headings : Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / immunology; Bacteriophages / physiology; Biological Evolution; CRISPR-Cas Systems; Models, Immunological

Invasion of the Hawaiian Islands by a parasite infecting imperiled stream fishes

ECOGRAPHY, 41(3), 528–539.

By: R. Gagne *, C. Sprehn *, F. Alda *, P. McIntyre *, J. Gilliam n & M. Blum *

TL;DR: These findings parallel historical records of non-native poeciliid introductions and suggest that remediating invasion hotspots could reduce the risk of infection in native stream fishes, which illustrates how inferences on parasite co-introductions can improve conservation efforts by guiding responses to emerging infectious disease in species of concern.
