Assessment of methods for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed fish specimens and a population genomic analysis of geographical disjunction in Southern Brook Lamprey (Ichthyomyzon gagei).
(2023)
Conservation efforts are limited for many fishes, and genetic approaches using recent and
preserved collections could help address important knowledge gaps. Southern Brook
Lamprey, Ichthyomyzon gagei, predominately occur ...
Updated distribution, population genetic structure, and local occurrence patterns of Longnose Sucker (Catostomus catostomus) and Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus) in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
(2023)
Longnose Sucker (Catostomus catostomus) and Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus) were
once thought to exist throughout the Black Hills, South Dakota; however, recent surveys
have documented dramatic declines. To inform future ...
Associations of polymorphisms in vitamin D and iron-related genes with vitamin D supplementation and iron status in women
(2024-08)
Current evidence to guide and support nutrition recommendations is limited. Precision nutrition is a novel field of study that could direct patient protocols toward improving health outcomes using food as medicine. The ...
Influence of sediment characteristics and oxygen demand on winter hypoxia in backwater lakes of the Upper Mississippi River
(2024-05)
Sediment oxygen demand (SOD), gross primary production, and ecosystem respiration are ecological processes affecting availability of dissolved oxygen (DO), a key feature of overwintering habitat for riverine species. ...
Foraging ecology and space use of breeding Flammulated Owls (Psiloscops flammeolus) in northern Utah
(2023-12)
Flammulated Owls (Psiloscops flammeolus) are small, insectivores that are of conservation concern due to climate change, shifts in habitat, and fluctuating resources. Flammulated Owls in northern Utah tend to occupy different ...
Effects of exercise-induced extracellular vesicles on triple negative breast cancer cells
(2024-05)
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer that is
extremely difficult to treat due to the lack of progesterone, estrogen, and Her2 receptors
in and/or on the cell. Currently, indicated ...
Examining the role of Axl inhibition in Chk1 inhibitor-resistant triple negative breast cancers
(2024-05)
Triple negative breast cancers as a category pose a challenge in the clinic. As our
understanding of the breast cancer proteome expands, we can identify new targets for
treatment. The Colavito lab previously identified ...
Investigating the signaling pathways of the small, G-protein Rap1b in Megakaryocytes
(2024-08)
The small G-protein Rap1b is pivotal in various cell types, with particularly high expression in megakaryocytes and platelets. Platelets, crucial for vascular injury repair, can become a double-edged sword when their numbers ...
Phosphorus uptake and retention in headwater streams of the Fox River Basin
(2023-12)
Anthropomorphic input of phosphorus into lakes and rivers can lead to harmful effects including eutrophication, algal blooms, and changes in community structure. Small order streams in agricultural and urban watersheds ...
Estimating organic carbon burial in freshwater impoundments with a rapid-assessment model and geospatial analysis
(2021-08)
Freshwater ecosystems transport a tremendous amount of organic carbon (OC) from
terrestrial landscapes; however, freshwater systems have been poorly integrated into the
global carbon budget which focuses largely on the ...
