Mashup Score: 3'Island of Rats' recovers - 3 year(s) ago
A coordinated conservation effort that removed rats from Hawadax Island, formerly known as ”Rat Island,” has become a new example of how ecosystems can fully recover to their natural state in little more than a decade. The results are described in a report led by a UC San Diego scientist.

Mashup Score: 2Breast conservation and axillary management after primary systemic therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer: the Lucerne toolbox - 3 year(s) ago
Primary systemic therapy is increasingly used in the treatment of patients with early-stage breast cancer, but few guidelines specifically address optimal locoregional therapies. Therefore, we established an international consortium to discuss clinical evidence and to provide expert advice on technical management of patients with early-stage breast cancer. The steering committee prepared six…

Mashup Score: 2Herbivorous Crabs Reverse the Seaweed Dilemma on Coral Reefs - 3 year(s) ago
Spadaro and Butler demonstrate in two separate field experiments that enhancing the density of native, herbivorous Caribbean king crabs on coral patch reefs overgrown by seaweeds reversed an ecological phase shift and shifted reef communities toward recovery by reducing seaweed cover and increasing the abundance and diversity of corals and fishes.

"Increasing the abundance of native king #crabs on #coralreefs in the #FloridaKeys led to rapid declines in #seaweed cover and the subsequent return of small corals and fishes to those reefs." - Mark Butler @FIUButlerLab https://t.co/koQtqTmIGy #conservation @CurrentBiology https://t.co/Cuk44hsE62

Mashup Score: 3Coral gasdermin triggers pyroptosis - 3 year(s) ago
Pyroptosis is a form of inflammatory cell death that occurs in response to pathogen infection and results in the release of intracellular contents mediated by the pore-forming gasdermin family proteins. Jiang et al. identified the presence of a conserved gasdermin E homolog in corals that is cleaved by both coral and human caspase-3 to form two active N-terminal isoforms each capable of inducing…

Gasdermins - "executioners" of a cell death pathway - have been largely found in vertebrates, but now Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers identified similar proteins in #coral.

Mashup Score: 24Individual heterozygosity predicts translocation success in threatened desert tortoises - 3 year(s) ago
As more species become highly threatened because of human activity, there has been an increasing push to understand how best to reintroduce or translocate individuals from wild or captive populations. Suggestions have varied from choosing individuals from the most environmentally similar regions to choosing those that might have the best ability to adapt to new environments. Scott et al. used…

Tortoise refugees with the highest genetic variation are far more likely to survive conservation translocation than tortoises whose genetic diversity is lower, according to a new Science study. The findings could inform #conservation efforts. ($) https://t.co/467ji3ZhQP https://t.co/6qPnzqGgV8
