The trail less traveled: Envisioning a new approach to identifying key food resources for threatened Hawaiian arboreal snails
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our understanding of Hawaiian arboreal snails’ diets remains rudimentary, hindering the development effective conservation strategies. To identify important food resources, we tested hypothesis that epiphytic microbial assemblages differ on plant species preferred and avoided by snails at Mt. Kaala Natural Area Reserve, where snail preferences are known from previous studies. Comparing plants both prefer avoid was identified as a potentially key step to moving research away characterizing which microbes encounter, towards testing if driving preferences. We found fungal bacterial differed between snails, indicating may be selecting based their assemblages. Previous thought important, Cladosporium spp., propagated in captive rearing facilities, Botryosphaeria fungi feeding experiment, were rare had similar abundances Kaala. approach, conducting preference studies before isolating microbes, is identifying resources improves our ability form foundation diet. If can it greatly expands to: (1) assess monitor habitat quality, (2) make informed restoration recommendations, (3) improve efforts for highly endangered reared populations.

هدف اصلی از این تحقیق به دست آوردن و مقایسه حق بیمه باورمندی در مدل های شمارشی گزارش نشده برای داده های طولی می باشد. در این تحقیق حق بیمه های پبش گویی بر اساس توابع ضرر مربع خطا و نمایی محاسبه شده و با هم مقایسه می شود. تمایل به گرفتن پاداش و جایزه یکی از دلایل مهم برای گزارش ندادن تصادفات می باشد و افراد برای استفاده از تخفیف اغلب از گزارش تصادفات با هزینه پائین خودداری می کنند، در این تحقیق ...

Phagosomes containing the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila are transported to the ER after macrophage internalization. To modulate phagosome transport, Legionella use a specialized secretion system that injects bacterial proteins into eukaryotic cells. This review will focus on recent studies that have identified bacterial proteins and host processes that play a concerted role in trans...

As I look down the hill through the editorial office’s window, I notice a sprout developing on a pine tree blooming nearby. I then pat myself on the back thinking of the last 3 months I have gone through. It was snowing when I first began the managing editorship for Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives. The first issue has already been published, with its glossy cover now reflecting in...
