Priority effects alter microbiome composition and increase abundance of probiotic taxa in treefrog tadpoles.

Unlabelled: Host-associated microbial communities, like other ecological communities, may be impacted by the colonization order of taxa through priority effects. Developing embryos and their associated microbiomes are subject to stochasticity during colonization by bacteria. For amphibian embryos, often developing externally in bacteria-rich environments, this stochasticity may be particularly impactful.

Association of composite park quality with park use in four diverse cities.

Park use has numerous health benefits. However, little research has investigated how the combination of park facilities, amenities, and conditions are related to park visitation. This study examined the association between a novel composite park quality metric and the use of specific parks, including variations by demographics.

Diet- and salinity-induced modifications of the gut microbiota are associated with differential physiological responses to ranavirus infection in .

Greater knowledge of how host-microbiome interactions vary with anthropogenic environmental change and influence pathogenic infections is needed to better understand stress-mediated disease outcomes. We investigated how increasing salinization in freshwaters (e.g.

Colonization order of bacterial isolates on treefrog embryos impacts microbiome structure in tadpoles.

Priority effects, or impacts of colonization order, may have lasting influence on ecological community composition. The embryonic microbiome is subject to stochasticity in colonization order of bacteria. Stochasticity may be especially impactful for embryos developing in bacteria-rich environments, such as the embryos of many amphibians.

"Black people don't love nature": white environmentalist imaginations of cause, calling, and capacity.

I examine how white British members of a London-area environmental group conceptualize race in relation to ecological disasters. Based on a five-year (2018-2022) ethnographic study, members employed racialized narratives and symbolic boundaries to construct who was the of disasters, who had the moral responsibility or to remediate disasters, and who possessed the adequate resources and to fix disasters. Together, these narratives formed a which functioned to demarcate the symbolic boundaries of an ideal, white racial identity that was intimately crocheted with notions of authentic guilt and remorse, responsibility and liability, work ethics, competent knowledge, resource mobilization, moral commitment, and racial paternalism and superiority.
