No full textFIG. 4. PCA plot depicting the winter-type categories developed for winter environmental data for a Massasauga population located in southern Ontario, Canada. We analyzed local annual winter (November–April) environmental data: total precipitation, rainfall, snow, and the number of days mean temperature is below zero (Environment and Climate Change Canada, 2016).Published as part of Scarsbrook, Lachie, Walton, Kerry, Rawlence, Nicolas J. & Hitchmough, Rodney A., 2023, Journal of Herpetology 25 (5) on pages 235-244, DOI: 10.1670/18-143, http://zenodo.org/record/787710

Transcription and Analysis of Selected Trombone Solos from J. J. Johnson's 1964 Recording Proof Positive
No full textThe purposes of the essay are to transcribe and analyze selected solos from the 1964 J. J. Johnson recording, Proof Positive as well as to increase the amount of analytical literature on J. J. Johnson presently obtainable for study by jazz trombonists. J. J. Johnson will further be affirmed as a jazz musician worthy of doctoral level study. Selected solos from the 1964 J. J. Johnson recording Proof Positive will be transcribed and analyzed in depth using a method of analysis incorporating improvisational devices identified by the author. A brief biography of J. J. Johnson is presented along with a review of jazz trombone history in order to provide perspective. A review of related literature will be provided as well. The study will be limited to those solos that meet a selection criterion. The specific solos that were selected met the standard of containing a substantial number of Johnson's characteristic improvisational devices. Melody, harmony, rhythm, and stylistic inflection within each solo are discussed in detail and musical examples from the improvisations are cited to provide emphasis. The 1964 J. J. Johnson recording, Proof Positive was chosen for transcription and analysis due to its historical significance as a seminal recording and for the fact that only "Stella by Starlight" has been published. The remaining trombone solos have not yet been readily made available for study.</p

Range-Wide Snow Leopard Phylogeography Supports Three Subspecies
No full textThe snow leopard, Panthera uncia, is an elusive high-altitude specialist that inhabits vast, inaccessible habitat across Asia. We conducted the first range-wide genetic assessment of snow leopards based on noninvasive scat surveys. Thirty-three microsatellites were genotyped and a total of 683 bp of mitochondrial DNA sequenced in 70 individuals. Snow leopards exhibited low genetic diversity at microsatellites (A(N) = 5.8, H-O = 0.433, H-E = 0.568), virtually no mtDNA variation, and underwent a bottleneck in the Holocene (similar to 8000 years ago) coinciding with increased temperatures, precipitation, and upward treeline shift in the Tibetan Plateau. Multiple analyses supported 3 primary genetic clusters: (1) Northern (the Altai region), (2) Central (core Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau), and (3) Western (Tian Shan, Pamir, trans-Himalaya regions). Accordingly, we recognize 3 subspecies, Panthera uncia irbis (Northern group), Panthera uncia uncia (Western group), and Panthera uncia uncioides (Central group) based upon genetic distinctness, low levels of admixture, unambiguous population assignment, and geographic separation. The patterns of variation were consistent with desert-basin "barrier effects" of the Gobi isolating the northern subspecies (Mongolia), and the trans-Himalaya dividing the central (Qinghai, Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal) and western subspecies (India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan). Hierarchical Bayesian clustering analysis revealed additional subdivision into a minimum of 6 proposed management units: western Mongolia, southern Mongolia, Tian Shan, Pamir-Himalaya, Tibet-Himalaya, and Qinghai, with spatial autocorrelation suggesting potential connectivity by dispersing individuals up to similar to 400 km. We provide a foundation for global conservation of snow leopard subspecies, and set the stage for in-depth landscape genetics and genomic studies.National Geographic Society [8369-07]; Snow Leopard Conservancy [G1400042]; Britten Foundation [12121, 11104]; Larry Bowman Foundation [16092, 14031]; College of Veterinary Medicine of Texas AM University; Snow Leopard Conservation Grants Program [120808, G1500042]; Duquesne University; NSF [EF0629849]; University of Montana; Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India [BSC0207]; Department of Biotechnology, India [GAP0374]SCI(E)ARTICLE6597-60710
Tracer-based assessment of the origin and biogeochemical transformation of a cyclonic eddy in the Sargasso Sea

The definitive version was published in Journal of Geophysical Research 113 (2008): C10006, doi:10.1029/2008JC004840.Mechanisms of nutrient supply in oligotrophic ocean systems remain inadequately understood and quantified. In the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, for example, the observed rates of new production are apparently not balanced by nutrient supply via vertical mixing. Mesoscale eddies have been hypothesized as a mechanism for vertical nutrient pumping into the euphotic zone, but the full range and magnitude of biogeochemical impacts by eddies remain uncertain. We evaluated a cyclonic eddy located near Bermuda for its effect on water column biogeochemistry. In the density range σ θ 26.1 to 26.7, an eddy core with anomalous salinity, temperature, and biogeochemical properties was observed, suggesting that the eddy was not formed with local water (i.e., not formed of the waters surrounding the eddy at the time of observations), hence complicating efforts to quantify biogeochemical processes in the eddy. We combined conservative hydrographic tracers (density versus potential temperature and salinity) and quasi-conservative biogeochemical tracers (density versus NO, PO, and total organic carbon) to propose the origin of the eddy core water to have been several hundred kilometers to the southeast of the eddy location at sampling. By comparing the observed eddy core's biogeochemical properties with those near the proposed origin, we estimate the net changes in biogeochemical properties that occurred. A conservative estimate of export was 0.5 ± 0.34 mol N m−2 via sinking particles, with export occurring prior to our period of direct observation. Our results suggest that biogeochemical signals induced by mesoscale eddies could survive to be transported over long distances, thus providing a mechanism for lateral fluxes of nutrients and AOU (apparent oxygen utilization). Given that the proposed source area of this eddy is relatively broad, and the eddy-mixing history before our sampling is unknown, uncertainty remains in our assessment of the true biogeochemical impact of mesoscale eddies in the gyre.Support

The effect of endurance training on human ammonia metabolism
No full textThis thesis examines human ammonia (NH3)
metabolism in trained and untrained individuals.
Specifically, these aspects include: 1) plasma NH3
accumulation during exercise at similar absolute and
relative work intensities; 2) plasma NH3 accumulation
during recovery from maximal exercise; 3) the absolute and
relative work intensities at which blood lactate (LA) and
plasma NH3 concentrations begin to rapidly accumulate
(i.e the LA breakpoint - LABP, and NH3 breakpoint -
NH3BP); 4) the relationship between the NH3BP and LABP,
and 5) the relationship between plasma NH3, blood (LA),
and muscle fibre type
