The team of Texas A&M researchers, led by VMBS Associate Professor Dr. Angela Arenas, will conduct a five-year study of brucellosis in Armenia to evaluate the presence and prevalence of each Brucella species in animals and dairy products; to improve local detection capabilities; and to provide education and training to Armenian scientists, policymakers, and community members.
The most threatened reef fishes are also the most overlooked by scientists and the general public. That is the startling finding of a team of scientists led by a CNRS researcher. In a study to be published in Science Advances on July 17, they measured the level of human interest in 2,408 species of marine reef fish and found that the attention of the scientific community is attracted by the commercial value more than the ecological value of the fishes. The public, on the other hand, is primarily influenced by the aesthetic characteristics of certain species, such as the red lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus).
Published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, a new study found that residing in areas with higher amounts of greenness during midlife may slow a person’s annual rate of cognitive decline by about eight months. This association was stronger among people living in neighborhoods of low socioeconomic status, highly populated neighborhoods.
