Miller NJ, Dimitrakopoulou D, Baglia LA et al. · Microorganisms · 2024-05 · open access
Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is an emerging human pathogen that has a high rate of incidence in immunocompromised individuals. We have found a putative secondary metabolite pathway within Mab , which may be a key factor in its pathogenesis. This novel pathway is encoded in a gene cluster spanning…

- Using vitality indicators to predict survival of aquatic animals released from fisheries.
Lennox RJ, Donaldson MR, Raby GD et al. · Conservation physiology · 2024-05 · open access
Introduction The viability of live release as a conservation tactic in commercial and recreational fisheries depends on survival and reproductive fitness of the animals. Fishes, mammals, birds, herptiles and crustaceans are caught as bycatch in large numbers, and incidental mortality has led to…

Noelker JE, Abreu Ruozzi V, Craig HM et al. · Diseases of aquatic organisms · 2024-05 · open access
Working with aquatic organisms often requires handling multiple individuals in a single session, potentially resulting in cross-contamination by live pathogens or DNA. Most researchers address this problem by disposing of gloves between animals. However, this generates excessive waste and may be…

Enríquez-Mercado I, Butterfield TG, Aguilar-Romero R et al. · BMC ecology and evolution · 2024-05 · open access
Home range is a fundamental characteristic of an animal natural history. The study of home range provides information on the sites where organisms forage for food, find shelter, or locate mates. Home range size and shape can change throughout the lifespan of an organism, during the year, or across…
