Chronic Noise Exposure has Context-dependent Effects on Nestling Stress Physiology in Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)
(2020-04-14)Anthropogenic noise is increasing in intensity and scope, resulting in changes to acoustic landscapes and largely negative effects on a range of species. In birds, noise can mask acoustic signals used in a variety of ... -
Improved Design-Oriented Confinement Models for FRP-Wrapped Concrete Cylinders based on Statistical Analyses
(Elsevier, 2015-03-15)This paper introduces improved design-oriented confinement models for cylindrical concrete members wrapped with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites based on a rigorous statistical evaluation of a large database. As ... -
Inferred influence of nutrient availability on the relationship between Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and incident irradiance in the Bering Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2000 Florida Ave., N.W. Washington DC 20009 USA, [mailto:service@agu.org], [URL:http://www.agu.org], 2008-08)This study examines variability in the relationship between Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and incident solar irradiance as a potential diagnostic of the nutritional status of phytoplankton. The study site is the ... -
Maternal Microbes: The Effects of Probiotic Treatment on Maternal Care Behaviour, Inflammation and Offspring Stress Outcomes
(2019-08-16)Active maternal care is vital in offspring stress programming, yet the behaviour of a mother towards her offspring can also be influenced by her external environment. It is essential to understand what impacts maternal ... -
Mechanisms Influencing the Timing and Success of Reproductive Migration in a Capital Breeding Semelparous Fish Species, the Sockeye Salmon
(University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA, [mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2009)Two populations of homing sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka; Adams and Chilko) were intercepted in the marine approaches around the northern and southern ends of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) en route to ... -
PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL STRESS-INDUCED NEEDLE LOSS IN POSTHARVEST BALSAM FIR (ABIES BALSAMEA L.)
(2018-05-01)Postharvest needle loss in balsam fir, Abies balsamea L., presents a major challenge for the Christmas tree industry. It was hypothesized that postharvest needle abscission is caused by mechanical stresses such as shaking, ... -
Post-Translational Modification of Formate Dehydrogenase, a Stress-Response Protein
(2017-05-11)The ability of a plant to adapt to environmental stress is crucial for its ability to grow, develop to maturity and produce yield. The ubiquitination pathway is a post-translational mechanism that aids plants in producing ... -
Probiotic effects on adult anxiety and systemic inflammation after exposure to Western diet
(2019-08-16)Research shows that the microbiome-gut-brain axis affects physiological systems related to food intake, obesity, anxiety, and inflammation. These disorders are related to stress exposure and stress responding is influenced ... -
Psychophysiological Processes in the Connection Between Perfectionism, Stress, and Emotional Distress
(2018-12-11)The perfectionism-stress connection is frequently studied, yet research in this area often overlooks the role of physiological processes. This research helps address this gap by testing two psychophysiological models of ... -
Salinity Tolerance of the Endangered Atlantic Whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani): Unravelling the Conservation Physiology of an Enigmatic Fish
(2024-04-26)Amidst the ongoing global decline in biodiversity, the preservation of at risk, endemic species is increasingly important. The Atlantic Whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) is an endangered, anadromous fish endemic to Nova ...
