Past Connectivity but Recent Inbreeding in Cross River Gorillas Determined Using Whole Genomes from Single Hairs.

The critically endangered western gorillas () are divided into two subspecies: the western lowland () and the Cross River () gorilla. Given the difficulty in sampling wild great ape populations and the small estimated size of the Cross River gorilla population, only one whole genome of a Cross River gorilla has been sequenced to date, hindering the study of this subspecies at the population level. In this study, we expand the number of whole genomes available for wild western gorillas, generating 41 new genomes (25 belonging to Cross River gorillas) using single shed hairs collected from gorilla nests.

A NEW SPECIES OF BOTHRIOCEPHALUS (CESTODA: BOTHRIOCEPHALIDAE) FROM LEPOMIS SPP. (ACTINOPTERYGII: CENTRARCHIDAE) IN NORTH AMERICA.

Based on morphological and molecular data, a new species of tapeworm, Bothriocephalus kupermani n. sp., is described from pumpkinseed, Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (type host), and green sunfish, L.

Factors That Affect the Success of Ethnically Diverse Nursing Students: An Integrative Review of the Literature.

Aim: The purpose of this research was to review nursing student retention literature to better understand how to help ethnically diverse undergraduate nursing students succeed.

Background: Nursing student retention continues to be a major challenge. Additional research is needed to improve the retention of students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA).

Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is associated with self-reducing transient subluxation or distraction of the juvenile spine. It accounts for about 40% of spinal injuries in children under sixteen. Children's anatomical features increase their susceptibility to hyperflexion, hyperextension and distraction mechanisms.
