Background Uncovering the taxonomic composition and functional capacity within the swine
gut microbial consortia is of great importance to animal physiology and health as well as to …

The range of exposure rates to the steroidal estrogens estrone (E1), beta-estradiol (E2), estriol
(E3), and ethinyl estradiol (EE2) in the aquatic environment was investigated by modeling …

High-throughput DNA metabarcoding has gained recognition as a potentially powerful tool
for biomonitoring, including early detection of aquatic invasive species (AIS). DNA based …

For DNA metabarcoding to attain its potential as a community assessment tool, we need to
better understand its performance versus traditional morphological identification and work to …

Ballast water remains a potent vector of non-native aquatic species introductions, despite
increased global efforts to reduce risk of ballast water mediated invasions. This is particularly …

Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) residing in some urban and industrialized estuaries
of the US eastern seaboard demonstrate recently evolved and extreme tolerance to toxic aryl …

The fathead minnow is a widely used model organism in environmental toxicology. The lack
of a high‐quality fathead minnow reference genome, however, has severely hampered its …

Concentrations at which global gene expression profiles in cells or animals exposed to a
test substance start to differ significantly from those of controls have been proposed as an …

Purpose The adult newt can regenerate lens from pigmented epithelial cells (PECs) of the
dorsal iris via dedifferentiation. The purpose of this research is to obtain sequence resources …

Indicators based on nutrient-biota relationships in streams can inform water quality restoration
and protection programs. Bacterial assemblages could be particularly useful indicators of …
