Draft genomes of UMB0578, UMB8339, and UMB7967 isolated from urine samples.

The urinary tract of females harbors a variety of microorganisms, both for those with and without symptoms. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three isolates from urine samples UMB0578, UMB8339, and UMB7967.

A reassessment of the genome size-invasiveness relationship in reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea).

Background And Aims: Genome size is hypothesized to affect invasiveness in plants. Key evidence comes from a previous study of invasive eastern North American populations of the grass Phalaris arundinacea: invasive genotypes with smaller genomes had higher growth rates, and genome sizes were smaller in the invasive vs. native range.

Developing Digital Privacy: Children's Moral Judgments Concerning Mobile GPS Devices.

New technology poses new moral problems for children to consider. We examined whether children deem object tracking with a mobile GPS device to be a property right. In three experiments, 329 children (4-10 years) and adults were asked whether it is acceptable to track the location of either one's own or another person's possessions using a mobile GPS device.
