Plume magmatism and continental breakup led to the opening of northeast Atlantic Ocean during globally warm early Cenozoic. This warmth culminated in a transient (170 thousand year, kyr) hyperthermal event associated with large, if poorly constrained, emission carbon called Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago (Ma). Methane from hydrothermal vents coeval North Igneous P...

In mice, different alleles of the mNAIP5 (murine neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein-5)/mBirc1e gene determine whether macrophages restrict or support intracellular replication of Legionella pneumophila, and whether a mouse is resistant or (moderately) susceptible to Legionella infection. In the resistant mice strains, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (Nod)-like receptor (NLR) fa...

The North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) has been the focus of numerous studies. However, a systematic integrated methodology to assess NAIP, so far lacking. For this purpose, synclinal oceanic rift approach is developed from stratigraphic record. Mechanisms are addressed combining trace element and seismic velocity data as proxy for excess mantle potential temperature (ΔTp), using simple mel...

Remote sensing technology has been used widely in mapping forest and wetland communities, primarily with moderate spatial resolution imagery traditional classification techniques. The success of these efforts varies widely. natural communities the Laurentian Mixed Forest are an important component Upper Great Lakes ecosystems. Mapping monitoring using high benefits resource management, conserva...

Non-native species maps are important tools for understanding and managing biological invasions. We demonstrate a novel approach to extend presence modeling map fractional cover (FC) of non-native yellow sweet clover Melilotus officinalis in the Northern Great Plains, USA. used ensembles MaxEnt models FC across landscapes from satellite imagery trained regional aerial that was by local unmanned...
