Artificial propagation and wild release may influence the genetic integrity of wild populations. This practice has been prevalent in fisheries for centuries and is often termed 'stocking'. In the Laurentian Great Lakes (Great Lakes here-on), walleye populations faced declines from the 1950s to the 1970s, prompting extensive stocking efforts for restoration.

- The spread of invasive species, such as the red swamp crayfish, is linked to their reproductive success and population dynamics, making them hard to control.
- A study developed a SNP panel to genotype 1800 individuals in southeastern Michigan, revealing important genetic information about their mating system and reproductive success.
- Findings show a common occurrence of multiple paternity in crayfish populations, emphasizing the need for advanced genomic tools to monitor their population responses and improve control strategies.
Infectious diseases are a leading cause of losses in the aquaculture industry and conservation programs globally. Simultaneously, infectious diseases pose a substantial risk to fish being hatchery-reared and released into natural habitats for conservation purposes, including the Great Lakes lake sturgeon (, i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Many complex abdominal hernias are referred to tertiary academic institutions for evaluation and treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes from complex abdominal hernia repairs and abdominal wall reconstructions at a community hospital vs high volume academic centers participating in Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC).
Methods: Patients undergoing elective complex abdominal hernia repair were identified in our community setting and treated between 2016 and 2019.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the prevalence of legally prohibited questions asked to applicants of internal medicine and pediatrics fellowships during interviews, and how these experiences vary between the two groups.
- An anonymous survey was distributed to applicants for the 2021 fellowship matching year, gathering responses on their experiences with such questions, comparing results by subspecialty preference and demographics.
- Approximately 33.3% of internal medicine and 26.5% of pediatrics applicants reported being asked prohibited questions, with common themes being relationship status, national origin, and family planning, primarily posed by program faculty and directors.
