Population Genetic Structure of the Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, in Coastal Georgia
… However, recent studies report evidence of local larval recruitment. In this study, I hypothesized that populations of the temperate coral, Oculina arbuscula, are maintained primarily by local recruitment off the Georgia coast because: 1) suitable substrate for settlement is patchy and 2) O. …

The Environment Constrains Successful Search Strategies in Natural Distributed Systems
… uninformed random search, origin-based local recruitment, and chemical-based pheromone recruitment. Using both numerical and agent-based models, it evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies across two environmental factors: the spatial clustering and temporal volatility of …

Recrutamento de corais recifais no Banco dos Abrolhos, Brasil
Recruitment pattem of different families of scleractinian corais and milleporids were studied at the inner reefs of the Abrolhos Bank, to improve our understanding of processes of population formation and maintenance. The identity and abundance of recruits, coral cover, and sediment deposition, …

Immunomodulatory biomaterials to promote early transplant integration and wound healing
… wound healing and tissue integration through the local recruitment and education of anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative subsets of immune cells that work to enhance tissue regeneration and alloimmunity by dampening immune activation and cytokine production of factors involved in pathologic …

Natal dispersal and first-year survival in a neotropical migratory songbird
Juvenile survival is among the most important demographic parameters driving population dynamics in birds. However, because first-year (i.e. 1-year-old) migratory passerines are thought to return to breed at great distances from their natal location, the factors that influence first-year survival …

Systemic Cytokine Expression and Endothelial Dysfunction: Insights from Innate Immune Models of Protein Phosphorylation
… monocytes into the sub-endothelial space. The local recruitment of inflammatory cells and release of pro-inflammatory mediators induces endothelial dysfunction, an early functional abnormality in CVD. Plasma cytokines have been used to stratify CVD risk in humans. Studies have shown …

Counterterrorism: The G5 Response Efforts to Combat Terrorism in the Sahel region
… in the Sahel will fail unless the root causes of local recruitment are assessed and properly addressed. Rampant poverty and poor governance make vulnerable people easy targets for terrorist groups. Long-term peace, stability and security can only be achievable once the population is provided …

Nanoparticle systems that exploit host biology for diagnosis and treatment of disease
… within a malignant environment to amplify the local recruitment of a secondary population of targeted nanoparticles. Here, the interaction between the initial therapeutic and the targeted nanoparticles occurred indirectly through a biological stress pathway. This cooperative targeting system …

The Effects of Stocking Density and Feeding Frequency on Aggressive and Cannibalistic Behaviors in Larval Hatchery-Reared Spotted Seatrout, <i>Cynosion nebulosus</i>
… releasing hatchery-reared juveniles to increase local recruitment beyond existing levels. However, raising enough Spotted Seatrout in an intensive aquaculture system has proven difficult due to aggression and cannibalism during the larval stages. </p> <p>The manipulation of stocking density as …
