Going, going, gone: Landscape drying reduces wetland function across the American West by J. Patrick Donnelly, Johnnie N. Moore, John S. Kimball, Kelsey Jencso, Mark Petrie, David E. Naugle

“…Results were summarized at an ecoregional level to normalize heterogeneity in landscape drivers structuring trends. Findings showed that overall wetland abundance (i.e., inundated area) changed by only 0.2 % during the forty-year study period; however, shortened inundation periods reduced semi-permanent wetlands by 24 % and increased the combined abundance of seasonal and temporary wetlands by a nearly equal amount (23 %). …”

The repressor PrtR1 and the global H-NS-like regulators MvaT and MvaV enable the fine-tuning of R-tailocin expression in Pseudomonas protegens by Clara Margot Heiman, Hammam Antar, Florian Fournes, Christoph Keel, Jordan Vacheron

“…By combining reverse genetics, transcriptional reporters and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that the R-tailocin locus-specific LexA-like regulator PrtR1 represses R-tailocin gene expression by binding directly to the promoter region of the cluster, while the histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) proteins MvaT and MvaV act as master regulators that indirectly regulate R-tailocin cluster expression. …”

Integrating Population Genetics With Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring to Evaluate and Guide Vernal Pool Creation for Amphibian Conservation by Declan M. Winters, Emily Wilson, Stephanie S. Coster, Megan B. Rothenberger

“…We then used microsatellite loci to assess within‐ and between‐pool measures of genetic diversity, population structuring, and gene flow for wood frogs. We found two carefully designed created pools positively contributed to local amphibian population persistence by maintaining similar measures of genetic diversity as compared to natural pools. …”
