Summer-Wet Hydrologic Cycle during the Middle Miocene of the United States: New Evidence from Fossil Fungi.

Research (Wash D C)

September 2024

Center for Excellence in Palynology, Department of Geology & Geophysics, and Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA.

Hydrologic reconstructions from North America are largely unknown for the Middle Miocene. Examination of fungal palynomorph assemblages coupled with traditional plant-based palynology permits delineation of local, as opposed to regional, climate signals and provides a baseline for study of ancient fungas. Here, the Fungi in a Warmer World project presents paleoecology and paleoclimatology of 351 fungal morphotypes from 3 sites in the United States: the Clarkia Konservat-Lagerstätte site (Idaho), the Alum Bluff site (Florida), and the Bouie River site (Mississippi).

Despite established associations between discrimination and mental health, little research has focused on gender expression discrimination and integrated individual strengths such as transgender and gender-expansive (TGE) identity pride. This study examined the roles of gender expression discrimination and pride in mental health among TGE adults across gender identity, race, and class. A national sample of TGE adults (N = 212) completed online measures assessing gender identity, race, income, gender expression-related discrimination, TGE identity pride, and depression and anxiety symptoms.

The DNA damage response of the multi-drug-resistant nosocomial pathogen possesses multiple features that distinguish it from the commonly used LexA repression system. These include the absence of LexA in this genus, the evolution of a UmuD polymerase manager into the UmuDAb repressor of error-prone polymerases, the use of a corepressor unique to (DdrR), and an unusually large UmuDAb binding site. We defined cis- and trans-acting factors required for UmuDAb DNA binding and gene repression, and tested whether DdrR directly enhances its DNA binding.

Bacterial diversity in agricultural drainage ditches shifts with increasing urea-N concentrations.

FEMS Microbiol Ecol

April 2024

USDA - ARS, Southeast Watershed Research Laboratory, 2316 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, United States.

Urea-based fertilizers applied to crop fields can enter the surface waters of adjacent agricultural drainage ditches and contribute to the nitrogen (N) loading in nearby watersheds. Management practices applied in drainage ditches promote N removal by the bacterial communities, but little is known about the impacts of excess urea fertilizer from crop fields on the bacterial diversity in these ditches. In 2017, sediments from drainage ditches next to corn and soybean fields were sampled to determine if fertilizer application and high urea-N concentrations alters bacterial diversity and urease gene abundances.

Introduction: strain 17978 is an opportunistic pathogen possessing a DNA damage response (DDR) in which multiple error-prone polymerase genes are co-repressed by a UmuD homolog, UmuDAb, and the small -specific protein DdrR. Additionally, these regulators coactivate nine other genes. We identified the DNA damage-inducible transcriptome for wildtype, , and strains, and later established the DDR transcriptome.

Behavioral theories of depression posit that depression results from the environment not adequately reinforcing non-depressive behaviors. One commonly used treatment based on the behavioral model of depression is Behavioral Activation. While many implementations of Behavioral Activation emphasize social interactions, there is limited empirical investigation into the contribution of specific facets of social engagement in the behavioral model of depression.

Agricultural drainage ditches accumulate high urea-nitrogen (N) concentrations even in the absence of urea fertilizer applications to adjacent crop fields. The accumulated urea, and other bioavailable forms of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), can be flushed downstream during substantial rainfall events altering downstream water quality and phytoplankton communities. Sources of urea-N supporting its accumulation in agricultural drainage ditches are poorly understood.

Agricultural Science Center at Los Lunas, New Mexico State University, Los Lunas, New Mexico 87031, United States of America; Department of Agricultural Sciences, Morehead State University, Morehead, Kentucky 40351, United States of America.

The negative impacts of industrial farming on honey bee health have been widely recognized regarding pesticide use and natural foraging habitat loss. An assessment of suitability of urban farms regarding honey bee health is necessary for sustainable development of agriculture and apiculture in urban settings. Urban farms that adopt organic farming practices with restrictions on synthetic pesticide use and conservation of natural habitat can potentially create an environment to mitigate these environmental stressors on honey bees.

Many humans live in large, complex political centers, composed of multi-scalar communities including neighborhoods and districts. Both today and in the past, neighborhoods form a fundamental part of cities and are defined by their spatial, architectural, and material elements. Neighborhoods existed in ancient centers of various scales, and multiple methods have been employed to identify ancient neighborhoods in archaeological contexts.

Dinuclear Complexes of Uranyl, Neptunyl, and Plutonyl: Structures and Oxidation States Revealed by Experiment and Theory.

J Phys Chem A

October 2022

Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

Dinuclear perchlorate complexes of uranium, neptunium, and plutonium were characterized by reactivity and DFT, with results revealing structures containing pentavalent, hexavalent, and heptavalent actinyls, and actinyl-actinyl interactions (AAIs). Electrospray ionization produced native complexes [(AnO)(ClO)] for An:An = U:U, Np:Np, Pu:Pu, and Np:Pu, which are intuitively formulated as actinyl(V) perchlorates. However, DFT identified lower-energy structures [(AnO)(AnO)(ClO)(ClO)] comprising a perchlorate fragmented to ClO, actinyl(VI) cation AnO, and neutral AnO.

Understanding variation of traits within and among species through time and across space is central to many questions in biology. Many resources assemble species-level trait data, but the data and metadata underlying those trait measurements are often not reported. Here, we introduce FuTRES (Functional Trait Resource for Environmental Studies; pronounced few-tress), an online datastore and community resource for individual-level trait reporting that utilizes a semantic framework.

Targeting for nonpoint source pollution reduction: A synthesis of lessons learned, remaining challenges, and emerging opportunities.

J Environ Manage

April 2022

Department of Biological Systems Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, 24061, USA.

The ability to identify, target, and treat critical pollution source areas on a landscape is an ongoing challenge for water quality programs that seek to address nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. In this article, we develop a conceptual framework for targeting program design, and review recent experience with the implementation of targeting programs that corresponds with a wide range of program characteristics. Through this review, we emphasize that the complex and locally dependent nature of NPS generation and transport makes it impossible to define a narrow set of rules to guide targeting programs everywhere.
