1. Frogs of the United States and Canada. Second Edition.

Author

Jr., Walter E. Meshaka

Subjects
*FROGS, *AQUATIC ecology, *NATURAL history, *LIFE history theory, *POPULATION biology
Abstract

This book, like anuran biology itself, is a grand study in variation, the importance of which, as noted by Dodd in his second edition of I Frogs of the United States and Canada i , is so often not appreciated by researchers. The section on frogs in North American culture provides an interesting layer of awareness of what ancient and contemporary brothers and sisters in humanity saw as important in fellow life forms that were a part of their daily lives. Anuran biology is the better for this publication. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

However, I agree with John DeLong that, prior to the publication of his new book I Predator Ecology: Evolution Ecology of the Functional Response i . In the prologue, DeLong says that this is the book he needed when teaching predator ecology. Graph All ecologists, especially plankton biologists, should have a basic understanding - at the very least - of predator-prey dynamics. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Temperature strongly affects the health of aquatic poikilotherms. In Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), elevated water temperatures increase the severity of streptococcosis. Here we investigated the effects of temperature on the vulnerability and inflammatory response of Nile tilapia to Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococci; GBS). At 35 and 28°C, GBS took 4 and 7h, respectively to reach the log-phase and, when incubated with tilapia whole blood, experienced survival rates of 97% and 2%, respectively. The hemolysis activity of GBS grown at 35°C was five times higher than that of GBS grown at 28°C. GBS expressed cylE (β-hemolysin/cytolysin), cfb (CAMP factor) and PI- 2b (pili-backbone) much more strongly at 35°C than at 28°C. Challenging Nile tilapia reared at 35 and 28°C with GBS resulted in accumulated mortalities of about 85% and 45%, respectively. At 35°C, infected tilapia exhibited tremendous inflammatory responses due to a dramatic up-regulation (30-40-fold) of inflammatory-related genes (cyclooxygenase-2, IL-1β and TNF-α) between 6 and 96h-post infection. These results suggest that the increase of GBS pathogenicity to Nile tilapia induced by elevated temperature is associated with massive inflammatory responses, which may lead to acute mortality.
