Do protection gradients explain patterns in herbivore densities? An example with ungulates in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley by Elias Rosenblatt (3321792)

“…Our goal was to test whether protection was responsible for density dynamics in this protection gradient, and whether a hunting moratorium impacted herbivore densities during the studies. For all four species, we estimated lower densities in partially protected buffer areas adjacent to SLNP (ranging from 4.5-fold to 13.2-fold lower) compared to protected parklands. …”

Image2_The light-independent locomotion response to a static magnetic field in Xenopus tadpoles.TIF by Jie Ren (176083)

“…Because it is speculated that the photosensing system is related to magnetosensation, we triggered the tadpoles to swim by a 30 s light pulse after a 5 min adaptation in the dark and measured the swimming activities of the tadpoles under static magnetic field exposure in both the dark and bright conditions. …”

Video_1_Use of 3D modeling to refine predictions of canopy light utilization: A comparative study on canopy photosynthesis models with different dimensions.MP4 by Shenghao Gu (7292960)

“…We found crop yield predictions decreased by 12.0–48.5% with increasing the resolution of light simulation, suggesting that a crop growth model without architectural details may result in a considerable departure from the actual photosynthetic production. …”

Image_2_MicroRNA-5112 Targets IKKγ to Dampen the Inflammatory Response and Improve Clinical Symptoms in Both Bacterial Infection and DSS-Induced Colitis.tif by Xilong Kang (2548195)

“…However, the role of miRNAs in inflammation induced by flagellin (ligand of TLR5) has yet to be fully determined. In this study, we identified differentially expressed miRNAs in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) between flagellin treatment and medium alone using miRNA microarray. …”

DataSheet_1_Distinctive microbiota distribution from healthy oral to post-treatment apical periodontitis.docx by Jing-Lin Zhang (13757218)

“…The microbiota of each sample was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and the obtained dataset was coanalyzed with 20 NCBI sequence read archive (SRA) datasets of healthy oral (HO) and primary apical periodontitis (PAP). We observed 2522 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to 29 phyla, and all samples shared 86.5% of the sequence reads. …”
