    May 20, 2016 Implement the Endangered Species Act Using the Best Available Science To: Secretary Sally Jewell and Secretary Penny Prtizker We, the under-signed scientists, recommend the U.S. government place species conservation policy on firmer scientific footing by following the procedure described below for using the best available science. A recent survey finds that substantial numbers of scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that political influence at their agency is too high.i Further, recent species listing and delisting decisions appear misaligned with scientific understanding.ii,iii,iv,v,vi For example, in its nationwide delisting decision for gray wolves in 2013, the FWS internal review failed the best science test when reviewed by an independent peer-review panel.vii Just last year, a FWS decision not to list the wolverine ran counter to the opinions of agency and external scientists.viii We ask that the Departments of the Interior and Commerce make determinations under the Endangered Species Actix only after they make public the independent recommendations from the scientific community, based on the best available science. The best available science comes from independent scientists with relevant expertise who are able to evaluate and synthesize the available science, and adhere to standards of peer-review and full conflict-of-interest disclosure. We ask that agency scientific recommendations be developed with external review by independent scientific experts. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen; however, of greatest importance is that an independent, external, and transparent science-based process is applied consistently to both listing and delisting decisions.

Holloway4, Dong Seok Kim4,5, Whitney A. Ratliff 6,7, Jessica N. Saykally6,7, Bruce A. Citron6,7, Barry J. Hoffer8, Nigel H. Greig4 & Chaim G. Pick1,2,3 Mild blast traumatic brain injury (B-TBI) induced lasting cognitive impairments in novel object recognition and less severe deficits in Y-maze behaviors. B-TBI significantly reduced the levels of synaptophysin (SYP) protein staining in cortical (CTX) and hippocampal (HIPP) tissues. Treatment with exendin-4 (Ex-4) delivered by subcutaneous micro-osmotic pumps 48 hours prior to or 2 hours immediately after B-TBI prevented the induction of both cognitive deficits and B-TBI induced changes in SYP staining. The effects of a series of biaxial stretch injuries (BSI) on a neuronal derived cell line, HT22 cells, were assessed in an in vitro model of TBI. Biaxial stretch damage induced shrunken neurites and cell death. Treatment of HT22 cultures with Ex-4 (25 to 100 nM), prior to injury, attenuated the cytotoxic effects of BSI and preserved neurite length similar to sham treated cells. These data imply that treatment with Ex-4 may represent a viable option for the management of secondary events triggered by blast-induced, mild traumatic brain injury that is commonly observed in militarized zones. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common ailment that presently lacks a first line pharmacological treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (U.S.

  • Dipole Patterns in Tropical Precipitation Were Pervasive Across Landmasses Throughout Marine Isotope Stage 5 ✉ Katrina Nilsson-Kerr 1,5 , Pallavi Anand 1, Philip B
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00133-7 OPEN Dipole patterns in tropical precipitation were pervasive across landmasses throughout Marine Isotope Stage 5 ✉ Katrina Nilsson-Kerr 1,5 , Pallavi Anand 1, Philip B. Holden1, Steven C. Clemens2 & Melanie J. Leng3,4 Most of Earth’s rain falls in the tropics, often in highly seasonal monsoon rains, which are thought to be coupled to the inter-hemispheric migrations of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone in response to the seasonal cycle of insolation. Yet characterization of tropical rainfall behaviour in the geologic past is poor. Here we combine new and existing hydroclimate records from six large-scale tropical regions with fully independent model-based rainfall 1234567890():,; reconstructions across the last interval of sustained warmth and ensuing climate cooling between 130 to 70 thousand years ago (Marine Isotope Stage 5). Our data-model approach reveals large-scale heterogeneous rainfall patterns in response to changes in climate. We note pervasive dipole-like tropical precipitation patterns, as well as different loci of pre- cipitation throughout Marine Isotope Stage 5 than recorded in the Holocene. These rainfall patterns cannot be solely attributed to meridional shifts in the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. 1 Faculty of STEM, School of Environment, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. 2 Department of Geological Sciences, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA. 3 National Environmental Isotope Facility, British Geological Survey, Nottingham,

  • The Easternmost Occurrence of Mammut Pacificus (Proboscidea: Mammutidae), Based on a Partial Skull from Eastern Montana, USA
    The easternmost occurrence of Mammut pacificus (Proboscidea: Mammutidae), based on a partial skull from eastern Montana, USA Andrew T. McDonald1, Amy L. Atwater2, Alton C. Dooley Jr1 and Charlotte J.H. Hohman2,3 1 Western Science Center, Hemet, CA, United States of America 2 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, United States of America 3 Department of Earth Sciences, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, United States of America ABSTRACT Mammut pacificus is a recently described species of mastodon from the Pleistocene of California and Idaho. We report the easternmost occurrence of this taxon based upon the palate with right and left M3 of an adult male from the Irvingtonian of eastern Montana. The undamaged right M3 exhibits the extreme narrowness that characterizes M. pacificus rather than M. americanum. The Montana specimen dates to an interglacial interval between pre-Illinoian and Illinoian glaciation, perhaps indicating that M. pacificus was extirpated in the region due to habitat shifts associated with glacial encroachment.

  • The BBVA Foundation Honors Gene Likens and Marten Scheffer for Decisive Advances in the Science of Predicting the Ecosystem Impacts of Human Activity
    www.fbbva.es BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Ecology and Conservation Biology The BBVA Foundation honors Gene Likens and Marten Scheffer for decisive advances in the science of predicting the ecosystem impacts of human activity For the jury, their work has contributed in major ways to improving science’s ability to analyze and predict the “gradual, abrupt and potentially irreversible changes” caused by environmental pollution Likens uncovered the damage being wreaked by acid rain in North America in the late 1960s, and his research hastened the adoption of legal measures to allay this threat; a product of industrial and automotive emissions In the early 1990s, Scheffer was the first to identify the “tipping point” in ecosystem deterioration; a turning point which can propel the system to catastrophic and at time irreversible changes Together, the two scientists “have transformed our understanding of how human activities are changing the structure and function of natural ecosystems,” while providing “tools” to check its deterioration, in the words of the award citation Madrid, February 7, 2017.- The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Ecology and Conservation Biology category goes, in this ninth edition, to ecologists Gene Likens and Marten Scheffer for contributing decisively to what the jury describes as “one of the major challenges” of this scientific discipline: to understand and, where possible, anticipate ecosystem responses to human-induced alterations of the natural environment. Likens revealed the impact across North America of acid rain, a phenomenon with severe environmental consequences, and Scheffer subsequently showed that human action, though gradual, can trigger abrupt and fundamental ecosystem shifts of a potentially irreversible nature.

  • EIP-AGRI Focus Group Reducing Antibiotic Use in Pig Farming FINAL REPORT
    EIP-AGRI Focus Group Reducing antibiotic use in pig farming FINAL REPORT EIP-AGRI FOCUS GROUP ‘REDUCING ANTIBIOTIC USE IN PIG FARMING’ FINAL REPORT Executive summary The Focus Group (FG) on how to reduce the use of antibiotics in pig farming was launched by the European Commission in 2013 as part of the activities under the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI). The group identified three main interrelated areas for the reduction of antibiotic use: General enhancement of animal health and welfare to reduce the need for antibiotic use. This concerns disease elimination and reduction in particular through improvement of biosecurity, management, husbandry, facilities, and training of personnel, veterinarians and advisors. Specific alternatives to antibiotics including vaccination, feeding approaches and breeding. Changing attitudes, habits and human behaviour (farmers, agri-advisors and veterinarians) and improving the dissemination of information. Within these areas, the experts produced four clusters of proposals to contribute to cost-effective practical solutions to the reduction of the use of antibiotics. 1. Proposals for further promotion and dissemination of underused best existing practices. Most are related to better health and welfare of pigs and to social sciences, i.e. biosecurity, management practices for sows and piglets, housing conditions and human attitudes, habits and behaviour determinants. The FG proposed several ways to promote and favour the implementation of best practices for these topics, including the development of Europe-wide guidance and demonstrations. The FG also proposed to promote the use of: – Interactive tools for farmers and farm advisors, using standardised risk-based analysis. – A coaching concept to improve the transfer of knowledge on biosecurity, husbandry and building design and management into practice.
