Response to Induced Herbivory
Get PDFHerbivore attacks trigger complex changes in plant primary and secondary metabolisms. Secondary metabolites (SM), are hypothesized to respond synergistically to repeated herbivore attacks (Fig. 1)

The Myth of Robin Hood in Film
Get PDFThe character of Robin Hood is familiar to all of us, but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly who the man is. When considering Robin Hood, an image from film likely comes to mind. While Robin Hood certainly did not originate in the medium, cinema continues to solidify his legacy as one of the most enduring figures in Western media
Investigating the Oxytocin System of the Brain in the Molecular Basis of Self-Control
Get PDFOxytocin (OXT) is a neuropeptide involved in social behaviors such as pair-bonding, maternal behavior, and attachment1. At the core of these social bonds is reward. OXT has many interactions with neural reward circuits to produce the pleasurable effects of social contact2
The Digital News Divide: How Social Media Consumption Affects Trust in Utah\u27s Traditional News Outlets

Psychological Inflexibility as a Session-To-Session Process of Change in A-EBT for Adults With Trichotillomania
No full textOne potential explanation for difficulty in treating trichotillomania despite increased research on evidence-based treatments, is the heterogeneity in symptom presentation. An individualized treatment approach may help to increase treatment response and recovery. Additionally, understanding which processes help to improve treatment outcomes in psychosocial interventions may be particularly important. This study examined how changes in trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility related to week-to-week levels of hair pulling severity and distress. We also explored a potential bidirectional relationship between hair pulling severity and trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility. Results indicated that although trichotillomania symptom severity predicted trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility and vice versa suggesting a bidirectional relationship. Additionally, trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility may play a more central role in trichotillomania symptom changes. Additionally, distress was strongly predicted by current trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility. Trichotillomania-specific psychological inflexibility appears to be a process of change in treatment for trichotillomania. Clinical implications are discussed
Native Aspen Carbon Cache: Quantifying Carbon Differences Under Copses in the Black Soil Zone of the Canadian Prairies
No full textUnderstanding the carbon footprint of Canadian agriculture is imperative for the developing carbon market. Agroforestry systems are seen as nature-based carbon sequestration solutions to achieve net-zero agriculture, yet very little research has been done into native woody vegetation. Native woody vegetation, often growing in and around trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) copses, are diverse vegetative communities of tree, shrub, grass, and forb species. This study aims to be the first to quantify the carbon density under native copses of the Canadian Prairies. The decomposing litter layer and the top 60 cm of mineral soil were collected in 72 different sampling locations across six Black soil zone copses of Saskatchewan. Samples were collected along the grassy edges and under living aspen and shrubs within the copses. Soil samples were divided by visible horizon, and total, organic, and inorganic carbon were quantified from each layer. There was no significant difference in carbon density within the copses, and as such, carbon budgeting can assume a carbon density value of 29.90 kg TC m−2. This carbon density allows an estimated total of 396 Tg TC to be calculated as stored under native copses in the Black soil zone of Saskatchewan (13,233 km2). The carbon at the edge of the copses was significantly less dense, at 21.56 kg TC m−2, but merits inclusion in carbon budgets as levels are significantly higher than surrounding agricultural fields. This study highlights the importance of including native copses in Canada’s carbon budget
Introduction
No full textThe need to rethink assessment in higher education has become increasingly urgent due to the shift to remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent introduction of various generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools. Globally, instructors are called to redesign their assessment practices to make them more innovative, authentic, and empowering
