2018 review

Neurodevelopmental and neurological effects of chemicals associated with unconventional oil and natural gas operations and their potential effects on infants and children

[Review of ]. REVIEWS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, 33(1), 3–29.

By: E. Webb*, J. Moon*, L. Dyrszka, B. Rodriguez*, C. Cox*, H. Patisaul n, S. Bushkin, E. London

author keywords: BTEX; children; EDCs; heavy metals; PAHs; particulate matter; UOG
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Air Pollutants / toxicity; Child; Child, Preschool; Congenital Abnormalities / etiology; Environmental Exposure / adverse effects; Humans; Infant; Infant, Newborn; Learning Disabilities / chemically induced; Natural Gas; Neurodevelopmental Disorders / chemically induced; Oil and Gas Industry; Petroleum; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR: Since UOG development has expanded rapidly in recent years, the need for public health prevention techniques, well-designed studies and stronger state and national regulatory standards is becoming increasingly apparent. (via Semantic Scholar)

EDC IMPACT: Molecular effects of developmental FM 550 exposure in Wistar rat placenta and fetal forebrain

ENDOCRINE CONNECTIONS, 7(2), 305–324.

By: K. Rock n, B. Horman n, A. Phillips*, S. McRitchie*, S. Watson*, J. Deese-Spruill*, D. Jima n, S. Sumner n ...

author keywords: endocrine disruptors; flame retardants; behavior; serotonin; sexually dimorphic; EDC; brain
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that environmental contaminants, like FM 550, have the potential to impact the developing brain by disrupting normal placental functions. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Variation in range size and dispersal capabilities of microbial taxa

ECOLOGY, 99(2), 322–334.

author keywords: biogeography; dispersal; dust-associated microbes; geographic range size; microbial dispersal; microbiology
MeSH headings : Animals; Archaea; Bacteria / classification; Ecosystem; Plants
TL;DR: Most microorganisms have small ranges and few have large ranges, a pattern similar to the range size distributions commonly observed for macrobes, which provides insight into the factors shaping patterns of microbial biogeography. (via Semantic Scholar)

Plasmodium knowlesi invasion following spread by infected mosquitoes, macaques and humans

PARASITOLOGY, 145(1), 101–110.

author keywords: invasion analysis; Plasmodium knowlesi; vector-borne disease; mathematical model; vector behaviour
MeSH headings : Animals; Anopheles / parasitology; Anopheles / physiology; Host-Parasite Interactions; Humans; Macaca; Malaria / parasitology; Malaria / transmission; Malaria / veterinary; Models, Biological; Monkey Diseases / parasitology; Monkey Diseases / transmission; Monte Carlo Method; Mosquito Vectors / parasitology; Mosquito Vectors / physiology; Plasmodium knowlesi / physiology
TL;DR: Invasion analysis demonstrates that this behavioural plasticity can qualitatively impact the probability of an epidemic sparked by imported infection. (via Semantic Scholar)
