DOI: 10.1002/cne.25474
Abstract: The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small noradrenergic brainstem nucleus that plays a central role in regulating arousal, attention, and performance. In the mammalian brain, individual LC neurons make divergent axonal projections to different brain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04565-2
Abstract: Dreissenid mussels can alter nutrient cycling and algal productivity in many freshwater ecosystems. But their effects on sedimentary phosphorus dynamics remain largely undefined. Here, we report evidence that dreissenids affect the concentrations of five sedimentary… read more here.

Immune differences in captive and free-ranging zebras (Equus zebra and E. quagga)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Mammalian Biology"
DOI: 10.1007/s42991-020-00006-0
Abstract: Wild mammals in ex situ captivity experience substantially different environmental conditions compared to free-ranging conspecifics, e.g., in terms of diet, climatic conditions, social factors, movement space, and direct anthropogenic disturbance. Moreover, animals in captivity frequently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2017.07.007
Abstract: Male zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, acquire their song during a sensitive period for auditory-vocal learning by imitating conspecific birds. Laboratory studies have shown that the sensitive period for song acquisition covers a developmental phase lasting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113071
Abstract: Diluted bitumen (dilbit) is an unconventional crude petroleum increasingly being extracted and transported to market by pipeline and tanker. Despite the transport of dilbit through terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal habitat important to diverse bird fauna,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2018.01.004
Abstract: Abstract Benthic invertebrates are important bio-indicators of water quality and play a significant role in aquatic systems. Lake Champlain has limited benthic invertebrate data which hinders development of food web models, assessment of invasive species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-03227-6
Abstract: Like marine mussels, freshwater zebra and quagga mussels adhere via the byssus, a proteinaceous attachment apparatus. Attachment to various surfaces allows these invasive mussels to rapidly spread, however the adhesion mechanism is not fully understood.… read more here.
