author keywords: rodent; mice; rat; biodiversity; gene drive; island
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Gene Drive Technology; Introduced Species; Islands; Reproduction; Rodentia
TL;DR: What is currently known about natural and developing synthetic gene drive systems in mice, some key areas where key knowledge gaps exist, findings in a variety of disciplines relevant to those gaps and a brief consideration of how engagement at the regulatory, stakeholder and community levels can accompany and contribute to this effort.

Optimizing the deployment of ultra-low volume and indoor residual spraying for dengue outbreak response

Cavany, S. M., España, G., Lloyd, A. L., Waller, L. A., Kitron, U., Astete, H., … Perkins, T. A. (2019, October 2).

By: S. Cavany*, G. España*, A. Lloyd n, L. Waller*, U. Kitron*, H. Astete*, W. Elson*, G. Vazquez-Prokopec* ...

TL;DR: Although spraying twice each year is likely to avert the most infections, the results indicate that a threshold-based strategy can become an alternative to better balance the translation of spraying effort into impact, particularly if used with a residual insecticide. (via Semantic Scholar)

Cosmogenic Be-10 and equilibrium-line altitude dataset of Holocene glacier advances in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen

Saha, S., Owen, L. A., Orr, E. N., & Caffee, M. W. (2019, October). DATA IN BRIEF, Vol. 26.

author keywords: Cosmogenic nuclides; Equilibrium-line altitudes; Holocene; Central asia; Glaciation
TL;DR: High-frequency Holocene glacier chronostratigraphies are reconstructed in 79 glaciated valleys across the orogen using 519 published and 16 new terrestrial cosmogenic 10Be exposure age dataset to serve as an essential archive for future studies focusing on the cryospheric and environmental changes in the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen.

Locally Fixed Alleles: A method to localize gene drive to island populations

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 9.

By: J. Sudweeks n, B. Hollingsworth n, D. Blondel n, K. Campbell, S. Dhole n, J. Eisemann*, O. Edwards*, J. Godwin n ...

MeSH headings : Alleles; Animals; Biodiversity; Islands
TL;DR: This paper proposes the “Locally Fixed Alleles” approach as a novel means for localizing elimination by a drive to an island population that exhibits significant genetic isolation from neighboring populations and explores the feasibility and degree of localization that can be achieved.

Perinatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure alters brain oxytocin receptor (OTR) expression in a sex- and region- specific manner: A CLARITY-BPA consortium follow-up study

NEUROTOXICOLOGY, 74, 139–148.

By: S. Witchey n, J. Fuchs n & H. Patisaul n

author keywords: Behavior; Estrogen; Endocrine disruption; Sexual differentiation; Neuroendocrine; Oxytocin
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Brain Chemistry / drug effects; Endocrine Disruptors / toxicity; Ethinyl Estradiol / toxicity; Female; Hypothalamus / drug effects; Hypothalamus / metabolism; Male; Oxytocin / biosynthesis; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / metabolism; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Oxytocin / biosynthesis; Septal Nuclei / drug effects; Septal Nuclei / metabolism; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to BPA can eliminate sex differences in OTR expression in three hypothalamic regions, and that male O TR expression may be more susceptible, and a sexually dimorphic sub-region of the BNST not previously reported in juvenile rats is identified that is also susceptible to B PA.
