title: Lethal neonatal meningoencephalitis caused by multi-drug resistant, highly virulent <i>Escherichia coli</i>

description: Neonatal meningitis is a rare but devastating condition. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria represent a substantial global health risk. This study reports on an aggressive case of lethal neonatal meningitis due to a MDR <i>Escherichia coli</i> (serotype O75:H5:K1). Serotyping, MDR pattern and phylogenetic typing revealed that this strain is an emergent and highly virulent neonatal meningitis <i>E. coli</i> isolate. The isolate was resistant to both ampicillin and gentamicin; antibiotics currently used for empiric neonatal sepsis treatment. The strain was also positive for multiple virulence genes including K1 capsule, fimbrial adhesion <i>fimH</i>, siderophore receptors <i>iroN</i>, <i>fyuA</i> and <i>iutA</i>, secreted autotransporter toxin <i>sat</i>, membrane associated proteases <i>ompA</i> and <i>ompT</i>, type II polysaccharide synthesis genes (<i>kpsMTII</i>) and pathogenicity-associated island (PAI)-associated <i>malX</i> gene. The presence of highly-virulent MDR organisms isolated in neonates underscores the need to implement rapid drug resistance diagnostic methods and should prompt consideration of alternate empiric therapy in neonates with Gram negative meningitis.

title: Boundaries, Transitions and Passages

description: Many pictures are approximately piecewise uniform quilts. The patches meet in transitional areas that have a vague, ribbon-like geometry. These borders may occasionally get lost and sometimes pick up again, creating a ‘passage’ that partly blends adjacent patches. This type of structure is widely discussed in treatises on painting technique. Similar effects (lost outlines, passages) occur in drawing. The border regions are characterized by width, or sharpness and amplitude – which is the contrast between the patches on each side. Moreover, border regions have various textural structures. We propose a formal theory of such transitions. Images can be understood as superpositions of border areas. Stylistic changes can be implemented through the selective treatment of borders. The theory is formally similar to, though crucially different in meaning from, the theory of ‘edges’ (a technical term) in image processing. We propose it as a formal framework that enables principled discussion of ‘edge qualities’ (a term used by painters in a way unrelated to the use of ‘edge’ in image processing) in a well-structured manner.

title: Trap characteristics and species morphology explain size-biased sampling of two salamander species

description: Demographic studies often depend on sampling techniques providing representative samples from populations. However, the sequence of events leading up to a successful capture or detection is susceptible to biases introduced through individual-level behaviour or physiology. Passive sampling techniques may be especially prone to sampling bias caused by size-related phenomena (e.g., physical limitations on trap entrance). We tested for size-biased sampling among five types of passive traps using a 9-year data set for two species of aquatic salamanders that have a 20 and 61 fold change in length over their ontogeny (<i>Amphiuma means</i>, <i>Siren lacertina</i>). Size-biased trapping was evident for both species, with body size distributions (body length mean and SD) of captured individuals differing among sampling techniques. Because our two species differed in girth at similar lengths, we were able to show that size biases (in length) were most likely caused by girth limitations on trap entry rates, and potentially by differences in retention rates. Accounting for the biases of sampling techniques may be critical when assessing current population status and demographic change.

title: Characterization of 17 novel microsatellite loci in the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) via 454 pyrosequencing

description: We used 454 pyrosequencing to characterize 17 novel microsatellite loci from the Nile monitor (<i>Varanus niloticus</i>), using samples from an invasive population in the US state of Florida. These markers were screened for variation in 40 individuals from the City of Cape Coral. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.18 to 0.73 (mean ± SE = 0.46 ± 0.06) and the number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 4 (mean ± SE = 2.5 ± 0.2). Preliminary genotyping of samples from populations in West Palm Beach and Homestead revealed two loci (<i>Mon6 </i>and <i>Mon15</i>) that are monomorphic in Cape Coral, but polymorphic in these other two populations. We found no statistical departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or evidence of null alleles. However, there was statistical evidence for genotypic disequilibrium between <i>Mon1-Mon14 </i>and <i>Mon3-Mon8</i>. BLASTn searches of NCBI’s nr/nt database identified four microsatellites containing 454 fragments that exhibit substantial sequence similarity to loci in other reptilian genomes, suggesting these markers should be prioritized by researchers interested in cross-amplification in other varanids. The resources we have developed will enable investigations of the population genetic dynamics of invasive Nile monitors in Florida and may facilitate studies within this species native range.

title: Responses to nitrate pollution, warming and density in common frog tadpoles (Rana temporaria)

description: Amphibians face a variety of anthropogenic environmental perturbations that could act alone or in combination to influence population size. We investigated interactive effects of warming conditions, a moderate pulse of nitrogen pollution, and conspecific density on larvae of the common frog, <i>Rana temporaria</i>. The 16-day experiment had a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design implemented in 80-l Ecology outdoor mesocosms. High density and warm temperature both resulted in reduced activity and visibility; tadpoles grew and developed more quickly at low density and high temperature. The high-nitrogen treatment did not influence behavior, growth, or development rate. We attribute this to several realistic features of our study, including a pulsed treatment application and natural denitrification within the mesocosms. There was only a single interaction among the three factors: higher temperature exacerbated density-dependence in growth rate. These results illustrate that climate warming may benefit temperate amphibians, although the benefits may be counteracted by enhanced larval crowding.

title: Detrital zircon geochronology and geochemistry of metasediments from the Vorontsovka terrane: implications for microcontinent tectonics

description: The Vorontsovka terrane (VT) is an important component of the East Sarmatian Orogen (ESO) which divides the Precambrian cores of the Sarmatian and Volgo-Uralia segments of the East European Craton (EEC). The tectonic framework of the VT remains controversial due to poor constraints from geochemical and geochronological studies. In this article we present detrital zircon U–Pb ages and geochemical features of the Precambrian meta-sedimentary rocks from the VT, which occur interlayered with calc-silicate rocks and metabasites. Most of the zircons from metasediments possess oscillatory zoning and high Th/U ratios (&gt;0.2), indicating magmatic provenance. Their <sup>207</sup>Pb/<sup>206</sup>Pb ages cluster around 2093 ± 7, 2126 ± 7, 2158 ± 12, 2189 ± 16, and 2210 ± 31 Ma, correlating with the ages of magmatic zircon cores from the surrounding igneous suites, and reflecting a single tectono-magmatic cycle (~2200–2100 Ma) in the source area. Age of the youngest detrital zircon grain from the metasedimentary rocks and the cores of zircon grains from igneous suites show <sup>207</sup>Pb/<sup>206</sup>Pb ages at 2094 and 2106 Ma, respectively. Together with the largest age clusters of 2126 ± 7 and 2158 ± 12 Ma of the magmatic cores of the detrital zircons, the timing of sedimentation is inferred as ~ 2100–2170 Ma. The metapelites display strong rare earth element fractionation with variable Eu anomalies ((La/Yb)<sub>N</sub> = 7.0–14.5, Eu/Eu* = 0.49–1.23). In contrast, the calc-silicate rocks and metabasites lack Eu anomalies ((La/Yb)<sub>N</sub> = 5.2–11.5, Eu/Eu* = 0.87–1.00). The large-ion lithophile (LILE) and high field strength element (HFSE) concentrations of most samples are comparable with those of the upper continental crust (UCC). The rocks possess negative anomalies of Th, Nb, Sr, and Zr relative to UCC. Their high Index of Compositional Variability (0.85–1.32, up to 1.8 in metabasites) and relatively low Chemical Index of Alteration (46.1–70.4) indicate that the metapelitic sediments were immature to weakly immature and probably underwent minor chemical weathering. The protoliths of the metabasites are interpreted as interlayered volcano-sedimentary and pyroclastic material. Relict clastic textures of the VT rocks, their geochemical features, and the grain morphology of detrital zircons suggest that the sediments were derived from intermediate and felsic provenances, which were most likely deposited in an environment with active volcanism. We envisage an active continental margin setting in the southwestern part of the Volgo-Uralia segment of the EEC related to the assembly of the Palaeoproterozoic Columbia supercontinent. Combined with recent data from surrounding terranes of the ESO, our results suggest that the VT represents an accretionary prism along a continental arc within the Sarmatia and Volgo-Uralia oceanic realm in the Palaeoproterozoic.
