Aquatic eutrophication promotes pathogenic infection in amphibians.
The widespread emergence of human and wildlife diseases has challenged ecologists to understand how large-scale agents of environmental change affect host-pathogen interactions. Accelerated eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems owing to nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment is a pervasive form of environmental change that has been implicated in the emergence of diseases through direct and indirect ...
متن کاملPhysiological ecology of aquatic overwintering in ranid frogs.
In cold-temperate climates, overwintering aquatic ranid frogs must survive prolonged periods of low temperature, often accompanied by low levels of dissolved oxygen. They must do so with the energy stores acquired prior to the onset of winter. Overwintering mortality is a significant factor in their life history, occasionally reaching 100% due to freezing and/or anoxia. Many species of northern...
متن کاملThe Lethal Impact of Roundup on Aquatic and Terrestrial Amphibians
The global decline in amphibian diversity has become an international environmental problem with a multitude of possible causes. There is evidence that pesticides may play a role, yet few pesticides have been tested on amphibians. For example, Roundup is a globally common herbicide that is conventionally thought to be nonlethal to amphibians. However, Roundup has been tested on few amphibian sp...
متن کاملPoisson Noise Obscures Hypometabolic Lesions in PET
The technology of fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) has drastically increased our ability to visualize the metabolic process of numerous neurological diseases. The relationship between the methodological noise sources inherent to PET technology and the resulting noise in the reconstructed image is complex. In this study, we use Monte Carlo simulations to examine the effect ...
متن کاملA wakeful hypometabolic physiologic state.
WALLACE ROBERT KEITH HERBERT BENSON, AND ARCHIE F. WILSON. A kzkeful h@mwtabtkc pI$iologic state, Am. J. Physiol. 22 l(3) : 795-799. 197 1 .-Mental states can markedly alter physiologic function. Hypermetabolic physiologic states, with in creased oxygen consumption, accompany anticipated stressful situations. Hypometabolic physiologic changes, other than those occurring during sleep and hiberna...
