A review of earthworm impact on soil function and ecosystem services

M Blouin, ME Hodson, EA Delgado… - European Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
A review of earthworm impact on soil function and ecosystem services - Blouin - 2013 - … (Blouin
et al., 2005). Recently, several studies have supported hypotheses (iv) and (v). …

Fitness of hatchery‐reared salmonids in the wild

…, BA Berejikian, MJ Ford, MS Blouin - Evolutionary …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Accumulating data indicate that hatchery fish have lower fitness in natural environments than
wild fish. This fitness decline can occur very quickly, sometimes following only one or two …

DNA-based methods for pedigree reconstruction and kinship analysis in natural populations

MS Blouin - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2003 - cell.com
The widespread use of microsatellite loci has spurred the recent development of many new
statistical methods for inferring kin relationships from molecular data. We now have an …

Soil invertebrates and ecosystem services

…, T Decaëns, M Aubert, S Barot, M Blouin… - European journal of soil …, 2006 - Elsevier
Invertebrates play significant, but largely ignored, roles in the delivery of ecosystem services
by soils at plot and landscape scales. They participate actively in the interactions that …

[HTML][HTML] Metformin improves healthspan and lifespan in mice

…, RK Minor, MJ Blouin, M Schwab, M Pollak… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Metformin is a drug commonly prescribed to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. Here we show
that long-term treatment with metformin (0.1% w/w in diet) starting at middle age extends …

Genetic effects of captive breeding cause a rapid, cumulative fitness decline in the wild

H Araki, B Cooper, MS Blouin - Science, 2007 - science.org
Captive breeding is used to supplement populations of many species that are declining in
the wild. The suitability of and long-term species survival from such programs remain largely …

Use of microsatellite loci to classify individuals by relatedness

MS Blouin, M Parsons, V Lacaille, S Lotz - Molecular ecology, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
This study investigates the use of microsatellite loci for estimating relatedness between
individuals in wild, outbred, vertebrate populations. We measured allele frequencies at 20 …

Genetic adaptation to captivity can occur in a single generation

…, ML Marine, RA French, MS Blouin - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Captive breeding programs are widely used for the conservation and restoration of threatened
and endangered species. Nevertheless, captive-born individuals frequently have reduced …

Molecular prospecting for cryptic species of nematodes: mitochondrial DNA versus internal transcribed spacer

MS Blouin - International journal for parasitology, 2002 - Elsevier
DNA sequence divergence at internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS-1 and ITS-2) was
compared with divergence at mitochondrial cox1 or nad4 loci in pairs of congeneric nematode …

Host movement and the genetic structure of populations of parasitic nematodes.

MS Blouin, CA Yowell, CH Courtney, JB Dame - Genetics, 1995 - academic.oup.com
… Indeed, the highest within-population diversity observed in this study was in the M. odocoilei
… Interestingly, the geographic location of the break between the A and B groups of M. …
