A Lectin Disrupts Vector Transmission of a Grapevine Ampelovirus.
Grapevine leafroll disease is one of the most important virus diseases of grapevines and occurs in every major grape-growing region of the world. The vector-transmission mechanisms of the causative agent, Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3), remain poorly understood. We show that the vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus, feeds through a mem...
Selective carbon sources influence the end products of microbial nitrate respiration.
...
Respiratory and catabolic genes are differentially distributed across microbial genomes. Thus, specific carbon sources may favor different respiratory processes. We profiled the influence of 94 carbon sources on the end products of nitrate respiration in microbial enrichment cultures from diverse terrestrial environments. We found that some carbon ...
Integration of ancient DNA with transdisciplinary dataset finds strong support for Inca resettlement in the south Peruvi...
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis provides a powerful means of investigating human migration, social organization, and a plethora of other crucial questions about humanity's past. Recently, specialists have suggested that the ideal research design involving aDNA would include multiple independent lines of evidence. In this paper, we adopt a transdiscipli...
Relational and logistical dimensions of agricultural food recovery: Evidence from California growers and recovery organi...
© 2020 by the authors. Efforts to recover on-farm food losses by emergency food organizations or businesses serving secondary markets have been promoted as a "win-win" solution to both food waste and hunger. We examined what it will take to realize this potential, drawing on interviews with 35 fresh produce growers and 15 representatives from food ...
Informative experimentation in intuitive science: Children select and learn from their own causal interventions.
We investigated whether children preferentially select informative actions and make accurate inferences from the outcome of their own interventions in a causal learning task. Four- to six-year-olds were presented with a novel system composed of gears that could operate according to two possible causal structures (single or multiple cause). Given th...
Coronavirus in Brazil: The heavy weight of inequality and unsound leadership.
A set of miniaturized high-throughput library protocols for RNA sequencing.
Several studies have demonstrated that increasing the number of biological replicates, even without increasing the total amount of sequencing, significantly improves experimental power to detect differentially expressed genes by RNA sequencing. However, the high cost of Illumina library production is a critical factor that limits the number of biol...
Social distancing responses to COVID-19 emergency declarations strongly differentiated by income.
In the absence of a vaccine, social distancing measures are one of the primary tools to reduce the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We show that social distancing following US state-level emergency declarations substantially varies by income. Us...
Revisiting the Spectrum of Bladder Health: Relationships Between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Multiple Measures of W...
...
Background: Little research to date has investigated the spectrum of bladder health in women, including both bladder function and well-being. Therefore, we expanded our previous baseline analysis of bladder health in the Boston Area Community Health (BACH) Survey to incorporate several additional measures of bladder-related well-being collected at ...
