Previous research has shown that parity (P) 4 progeny have greater weaning weights and decreased microbial diversity. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate litter performance, passive immunity, and fecal microbiota among P1 (n = 56) and P3 (n = 49) dams and their progeny. Blood samples were collected from P1 and P3 dams on d 90 and 114 of gestation and d 0 of lactation and from their...

The effects of dietary sialic acid in dams on the learning abilities of their pups after weaning were investigated using rats deficient in n-3 fatty acids. Nine-week-old female Wistar rats were fed an n-3 fatty acid-deficient diet for 3 wk and were mated at 12 wk of age. During pregnancy and lactation, the female rats were fed the n-3 fatty acid-deficient diet, and were given water or water con...

Longitudinal connectivity is a fundamental characteristic of rivers that can be disrupted by natural and anthropogenic processes. Dams are significant disruptions to streams. Over 2,000,000 low-head dams (<7.6 m high) fragment United States rivers. Despite potential adverse impacts of these ubiquitous disturbances, the spatial impacts of low-head dams on geomorphology and ecology are largely un...

Selective water release from the deeper pools of reservoirs alters temperature downstream rivers. Thermal destabilization rivers can be detrimental to riverine ecosystem by disturbing growth stages various aquatic species. To predict this impact planned hydropower dams worldwide, we present a framework called “FUture Temperatures Using River hISTory (FUTURIST).” The used historical records in-s...
