Procedures for Identifying Infectious Prions After Passage Through the Digestive System of an Avian Species

Posted on June 30, 2019

Infectious prion (PrPRes) material is likely the cause of fatal, neurodegenerative transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases. Transmission of TSE diseases, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), is presumed to be from animal to animal as well as from environmental sources. … read more

Isle Royale Wolf and Moose Populations in a Delicate Balancetinyurl.com/bdhvdrheThe dynamics between the wolves and moose on Isle Royale are a compelling example of predator-prey relationships in a relatively isolated ecosystem. As the primary predator on the island, wolves exert significant pressure on the moose population, with predation now being the leading cause of moose mortality.This marks a shift from recent years when malnutrition played a more prominent role in moose deaths. The balance between these two species is delicate—while wolves rely on the moose as their main food source, their predation also helps regulate the moose population, preventing overbrowsing of vegetation and maintaining the health of the island’s ecosystem.However, the continued decline in moose numbers raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of this relationship, especially as climate change and other environmental factors continue to impact both species.The report also underscores the growing impact of climate change on ecological research. The unusually warm winter, with temperatures frequently above freezing, created unprecedented challenges for the research team.The lack of stable ice on the island’s lakes made it difficult for the survey plane to operate, forcing the researchers to cut short their fieldwork. This is the first time in 65 years that such a decision had to be made, reflecting the unpredictable nature of the changing climate and its direct impact on scientific studies.The impact of climate change on this delicate balance is evident, making continued research and public involvement more critical than ever. ...
