A Long-Term Macroecological Analysis of the Recovery of a Waterbird Metacommunity after Site Protection by Janina Pagel (617287)

“…Non-random selective extinction was the most likely historical process creating the nested pattern, operated by the differential carrying capacity (surface-area) of the remaining sites. We also found a positive temporal trend in nestedness and a decreasing trend in species turnover among sites (β-diversity), indicating that sites are increasingly more alike to each other (i.e. increased biotic homogenization). …”

A Human Torque Teno Virus Encodes a MicroRNA That Inhibits Interferon Signaling by Rodney P. Kincaid (293245)

“…SiRNA knockdown of NMI contributes to a decreased response to interferon signaling. Consistent with this, we show that a TTV miRNA mediates a decreased response to IFN and increased cellular proliferation in the presence of IFN. …”

“…The level of nutrition for the communities with and without water-intervention projects were evaluated by food consumption score (FCS) and dietary diversity score (DDS). A decreasing trend of FCS and DDS with an increase in the time needed to fetch water indicated a significant negative correlation (Spearman's correlation analyzing all participants = −0.178, p < 0.001 and −0.221, p < 0.001, respectively). …”
