Hematodinium sp. and its bacteria-like endosymbiont in European brown shrimp (Crangon crangon).

Aquatic biosystems

Stentiford GD, Bateman KS, Small HJ, Pond M, Ungfors A.
PMID: 22958655
Aquat Biosyst. 2012 Sep 07;8(1):24. doi: 10.1186/2046-9063-8-24.

BACKGROUND: Parasitic dinoflagellates of the genus Hematodinium are significant pathogens affecting the global decapod crustacean fishery. Despite this, considerable knowledge gaps exist regarding the life history of the pathogen in vivo, and the role of free living life stages...

Assessment of individual and conspecific reproductive success as determinants of breeding dispersal of female tree swallows: A capture-recapture approach.

Ecology and evolution

Lagrange P, Gimenez O, Doligez B, Pradel R, Garant D, Pelletier F, Bélisle M.
PMID: 28944020
Ecol Evol. 2017 Aug 09;7(18):7334-7346. doi: 10.1002/ece3.3241. eCollection 2017 Sep.

Breeding dispersal is a key process of population structure and dynamics and is often triggered by an individual's breeding failure. In both colonial and territorial birds, reproductive success of conspecifics (RSc) can also lead individuals to change breeding sites...

Global spine journal

Puffer RC, Mallory GW, Burrows AM, Curry TB, Clarke MJ.
PMID: 27433428
Global Spine J. 2016 Aug;6(5):447-51. doi: 10.1055/s-0035-1564808. Epub 2015 Sep 29.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study.OBJECTIVE: Efficient use of operating room time is important, as delays during induction or recovery increase time not spent operating while in the operating room. We identified factors that increase anesthetized, nonoperative time by utilizing a...
