The presence of algae mitigates the toxicity of copper-based algaecides to a nontarget organism
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 37(8), 2132–2142.
author keywords: Risk assessment; Algae; Algaecides; Daphnia magna; Copper
MeSH headings : Animals; Copper / toxicity; Copper Sulfate / toxicity; Daphnia / drug effects; Environmental Exposure / analysis; Eutrophication; Fresh Water; Herbicides / toxicity; Nonlinear Dynamics; Regression Analysis; Toxicity Tests; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR:
Overall, incorporating target competing ligands (i.e., algae) into standard toxicity testing is important for accurate risk assessment, and copper formulation can significantly alter algaecidal efficacy and risks to nontarget organisms.

Why adult mayflies of Cloeon dipterum (Ephemeroptera:Baetidae) become smaller as temperature warms
Freshwater Science, 37(1), 64–81.
author keywords: temperature; growth; development; fecundity; respiration; aquatic insect; aerobic scope
TL;DR:
Cloeon dipterum appears to have a thermal ‘acclimation zone’ between 14.3 and 30°C where development and growth rates change linearly and degree-day requirements to complete metamorphosis are constant, and Respirometry suggested that OCLTT is more applicable to acute than chronic thermal limits.

The Toxicology of Engineered Nanomaterials in Asthma
Current Environmental Health Reports, 5(1), 100–109.
author keywords: Asthma; Allergy; Lung; Nanoparticles; Nanotubes; Nanomaterials
MeSH headings : Asthma / chemically induced; Humans; Lung / drug effects; Metal Nanoparticles / toxicity; Nanostructures / toxicity; Nanotubes, Carbon / toxicity
TL;DR:
Evidence is strong that ENMs can contribute to allergic airway disease; however, more work is required to determine their mechanisms, and more epidemiological studies are needed to validate results from animal models.

A comprehensive genomic history of extinct and living elephants
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(11), E2566–E2574.
author keywords: paleogenomics; elephantid evolution; mammoth; admixture; species divergence
MeSH headings : Animals; Elephants / classification; Elephants / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Extinction, Biological; Fossils; Gene Flow; Genome; Genomics / history; History, Ancient; Mammoths / classification; Mammoths / genetics; Mastodons / classification; Mastodons / genetics; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
It is shown that interspecies hybridization has been a recurrent feature of elephantid evolution, and the genetic makeup of the straight-tusked elephant, previously placed as a sister group to African forest elephants based on lower coverage data, in fact comprises three major components.

Growth kinetics of endosymbiont Wolbachia in the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius
Scientific Reports, 8(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / microbiology; DNA / genetics; Female; Kinetics; Larva / microbiology; Symbiosis; Wolbachia / growth & development
TL;DR:
It is highlighted that wCle is dynamic during bed bug development, changing relative to life stage, intermolt stage, and blood-fed status, and the observed quantitative modulation of wCle during the bed bug life cycle and during periods of starvation may explain the disparities in wCle infections reported in field-collected C. lectularius.

Endocrine disruptors and the developing immune system
Current Opinion in Toxicology, 10, 31–36.
TL;DR:
The role of endocrine disruption in DIT is considered and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with known DIT effects are highlighted, of special importance are microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system that are highly influenced by endogenous endocrine signals during development and are therefore sensitive to effects from exposure to EDCs.

The NIEHS TaRGET II Consortium and environmental epigenomics
Nature Biotechnology, 36(3), 225–227.
MeSH headings : Environmental Exposure / adverse effects; Epigenomics; Genome / drug effects; Humans; National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (U.S.); United States
TL;DR:
It is critical to determine whether epigenetic alterations are conserved across tissues in such a way that easily sampled surrogate tissues could be used to assess the impact of environmental exposure on diseaserelevant but inaccessible target tissues.

author keywords: Eigenvalue testing; Population stratification
MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Cystic Fibrosis / genetics; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Genetic Association Studies / methods; Genomics / methods; Genotype; Humans; Models, Genetic; Models, Statistical
TL;DR:
A novel block permutation approach is introduced, designed to produce an appropriate null eigen value distribution by eliminating long‐range genomic correlation while preserving local correlation, and a fast approach based on eigenvalue distribution modeling is proposed.

Nucleus accumbens core medium spiny neuron electrophysiological properties and partner preference behavior in the adult male prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster
Journal of Neurophysiology, 119(4), 1576–1588.
author keywords: electrophysiology; medium spiny neuron; nucleus accumbens; rat; vole
MeSH headings : Action Potentials / physiology; Animals; Arvicolinae / physiology; Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials / physiology; Male; Mating Preference, Animal / physiology; Neurons / physiology; Nucleus Accumbens / physiology; Patch-Clamp Techniques; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
It is found that decreases in miniature excitatory postsynaptic current amplitude and the slope of the evoked action potential firing rate to depolarizing current injection weakly associated with increased preference for the partnered female, suggests that exciteatory synaptic strength and neuronal excitability may be decreased in MSNs in males exhibiting stronger preference for a partnered female.
