COMPETING CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES FOR PREDATORS AND PREY: ESTIMATING KILLER WHALE PREY REQUIREMENTS FOR CHINOOK SALMON.

Competing conservation objectives for predators and prey: estimating killer whale prey requirements for Chinook salmon.

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) of marine resources attempts to conserve interacting species.In contrast to single-species fisheries management, EBM aims to identify and resolve conflicting objectives for different species.Such a conflict may be emerging in the northeastern Pacific for southern resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) and their prima

Clade-specific extracellular vesicles from Akkermansia muciniphila mediate competitive colonization via direct inhibition and immune stimulation

Abstract Akkermansia muciniphila, a promising candidate for next-generation probiotics, exhibits significant genomic diversity, classified into several distinct clades Strap-ons (AmI to AmIV).Notably, a single Akkermansia clade tends to predominate within individual hosts, with co-occurrence of different clades being rare.The mechanisms driving suc

Diversity and dynamics of rhizobial populations in acidic soils with aluminum and manganese toxicities in forest zones

Soil acidity in the humid forest zones of Cameroon is one of the major Sacroiliac Support constraints to agricultural productivity.This study was carried out to assess the rhizobial communities of two acidic soils; with aluminum toxicity (Nkoemvone) and manganese toxicity (Nkolbisson) for their potential to improve soil fertility in Cameroon.These
