Opportunistic bacteria and mass mortality in ungulates: lessons from an extreme event
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2671
Abstract: Mass mortality events in wildlife are a growing concern. Under conditions of rapid global change, opportunistic responses in bacterial commensals, triggered by environmental stressors, may be increasingly implicated in die‐offs. In 2015, over 200,000 saiga… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02797-x
Abstract: In the context of environmental change, determining the causes underpinning unusual mortality events of vertebrate species is a crucial conservation goal. This is particularly true for polar and sub-polar colonial seabirds, often immunologically naive to… read more here.

Observations on recent mass mortality events of marine mussels in the Oosterschelde, the Netherlands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Aquaculture International"
DOI: 10.1007/s10499-021-00713-6
Abstract: Two mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine mussels that took place in the Oosterschelde, the Netherlands—the first in 2015/2016 and the second in 2019—both severely affected mussel production. The current study presents our observations on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.10.011
Abstract: Abstract Mangroves provide vital ecosystem services at the dynamic interface between land and oceans. Recent reports of mangrove mortality suggest that mangroves may be adversely affected by climate change. Here, we review historical mortality events… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2017.06.027
Abstract: Infections with Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) microvariants in young Pacific oysters are associated with massive mortality events and significant economic losses. Previous studies, focusing on few regions of the genome, have revealed the genomic diversity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gh000395
Abstract: Extensive, severe wildfires, and wildfire‐induced smoke occurred across the western and central United States since August 2020. Wildfires resulting in the loss of habitats and emission of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds pose serious… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2017.1367958
Abstract: Abstract Purpose: We aimed to assess the associations of oxygen uptake at aerobic threshold (VO2 at AT) with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Design: VO2 at AT was assessed in 1663 middle-aged men in a cohort… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13344
Abstract: Mass mortality events caused by pulse anthropogenic or environmental perturbations (e.g., extreme weather, toxic spills or epizootics) severely reduce the abundance of a population in a short time. The frequency and impact of these events… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.06515
Abstract: Mass mortality events (MMEs) are rapidly occurring, substantial population losses that transpire within a short time interval relative to the generation time of the affected organism. Previous work has established that MMEs appear to be… read more here.
