Abstract:
Monospecific stands of invasive plants can dramatically restructure habitat for fauna, thereby elevating population densities or promoting foraging of consumer species who benefit in the altered habitat. For example, dense stands of invasive plants may protect small mammals from predators, which in turn could increase foraging pressure on seeds that small mammals feed upon. We used a before-after, control-impact experimental design to test whether small mammal capture rates were higher and giving-up densities (GUDs) lower beneath dense stands of Berberis thunbergii, an invasive shrub with a rapidly expanding range throughout eastern North America. Our experimental design included three plot categories: 1) plots heavily invaded by B. thunbergii, 2) control plots lacking invasive shrub cover, and 3) invaded plots where we eradicated B. thunbergii midway through the study. Although our overall small mammal capture rate was low, small mammal captures were 65% higher in B. thunbergii invaded habitat relative to control plots and eradication lowered capture rates by 77%. GUDs were also 26% higher within B. thunbergii relative to control plots and eradication decreased GUDs by 65%. Our findings suggest that small mammals perceive dense stands of B. thunbergii as relatively safe foraging habitat. Prior surveys within our study locations revealed dramatically depressed tree seedling densities under B. thunbergii, thus invasive plants may promote intensive foraging by small mammals and reduce recruitment for species with foraged seeds or seedlings.

Abstract:
Small mammals are not only pests but also an important part of agricultural ecosystems. The common vole is a reference species for risk assessment of plant protection products in the European Union, but no data about the suitability of the species in the Baltic countries are present so far. Using the snap-trap line method, we evaluated species composition, abundance, and diversity of small mammal communities in commercial orchards and berry plantations in Lithuania, testing the predictions that (i) compared with other habitats, small mammal diversity in fruit farms is low, and (ii) the common vole is the dominant species. The diversity of small mammals was compared with control habitats and the results of investigations in other habitats. Out of ten small mammal species registered, the most dominant were common vole and striped field mouse. Small mammal diversity and abundance increased in autumn and decreased in line with the intensity of agricultural practices but were not dependent on crop type. In the most intensively cultivated fruit farms, small mammals were not found. The diversity of small mammal communities in fruit farms was significantly higher than in crop fields and exceeded the diversities found in most types of forests except those in rapid succession.

Abstract:
Four extant lineages of mammals have invaded and diversified in the water: Sirenia, Cetacea, Pinnipedia, and Lutrinae. Most of these aquatic clades are larger bodied, on average, than their closest land-dwelling relatives, but the extent to which potential ecological, biomechanical, and physiological controls contributed to this pattern remains untested quantitatively. Here, we use previously published data on the body masses of 3,859 living and 2,999 fossil mammal species to examine the evolutionary trajectories of body size in aquatic mammals through both comparative phylogenetic analysis and examination of the fossil record. Both methods indicate that the evolution of an aquatic lifestyle is driving three of the four extant aquatic mammal clades toward a size attractor at ∼500 kg. The existence of this body size attractor and the relatively rapid selection toward, and limited deviation from, this attractor rule out most hypothesized drivers of size increase. These three independent body size increases and a shared aquatic optimum size are consistent with control by differences in the scaling of energetic intake and cost functions with body size between the terrestrial and aquatic realms. Under this energetic model, thermoregulatory costs constrain minimum size, whereas limitations on feeding efficiency constrain maximum size. The optimum size occurs at an intermediate value where thermoregulatory costs are low but feeding efficiency remains high. Rather than being released from size pressures, water-dwelling mammals are driven and confined to larger body sizes by the strict energetic demands of the aquatic medium.

Abstract:
In mammals, the term “adult hippocampal neurogenesis” defines the process through which, throughout adulthood, new granular neurons are produced by neural stem cells (NSC) in the subgranular zone (SGZ) in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus or, by a population of immature neurons located in the SGZ. Either way, the existence of neurogenic activity in the hippocampus has been correlated with learning, memory formation and behavioral responses to stress, together with the pathophysiology of many brain diseases and mood disorders. Various extracellular and intracellular stimuli have been shown to modulate survival, proliferation, and differentiation of adult-born cells in the hippocampus especially, through conserved stimuli-response mechanisms like the JNKs, which have been described as regulators of adult neurogenesis. In the present review, the JNK pathway and their control of adult hippocampal neurogenesis is described, evidencing the critical role of JNK1 in this process.

Abstract:
Non-invasive mammal surveys often employ olfactory stimuli on the assumption that they will attract mammals and increase the success of monitoring projects. However, information on the effectiveness of scent lures is variable and often relies on data generated from mammal tracks or sign, which can be challenging to quantify. Therefore, we sought to determine whether certain olfactory stimuli are more effective than others at eliciting a response from mammals along riparian corridors in Southern Wisconsin, using camera traps to monitor response to four scents and a control of de-ionized water. We recorded the number of times each species responded as well as the length of time spent investigating scents (Muskrat gland, mink gland, Red fox urine, crayfish oil) and the control. We recorded 2812 passes by 16 mammal species during our 12-month study, with Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana), Woodchuck (Marmota monax), Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), Eastern Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger), Raccoon (Procyon lotor), Coyote (Canis latrans), and White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)observed on cameras most frequently. However, 72% of observations involved mammals passing through without investigating any scents or the control, and among the 28% of observations where mammals did investigate, we found no significant differences in their response to specific scents or the control or in response by season. Further analysis revealed no significant differences in the time mammals spent investigating individual scents or the control. The lack of response suggests that factors other than scent may have attracted wildlife to our stations. Although under some circumstances olfactory attractants may increase the level of response to monitoring stations, we suggest that attraction to our stations was largely a behavioural response to novel stimuli in the environment.

Abstract:
Disruption to species-interaction networks caused by irruptions of herbivores and mesopredators following extirpation of apex predators is a global driver of ecosystem reorganization and biodiversity loss. Most studies of apex predators' ecological roles focus on effects arising from their interactions with herbivores or mesopredators in isolation, but rarely consider how the effects of herbivores and mesopredators interact. Here, we provide evidence that multiple cascade pathways induced by lethal control of an apex predator, the dingo, drive unintended shifts in forest ecosystem structure. We compared mammal assemblages and understorey structure at seven sites in southern Australia. Each site comprised an area where dingoes were poisoned and an area without control. The effects of dingo control on mammals scaled with body size. Activity of herbivorous macropods, arboreal mammals and a mesopredator, the red fox, were greater, but understorey vegetation sparser and abundances of small mammals lower, where dingoes were controlled. Structural equation modelling suggested that both predation by foxes and depletion of understorey vegetation by macropods were related to small mammal decline at poisoned sites. Our study suggests that apex predators’ suppressive effects on herbivores and mesopredators occur simultaneously and should be considered in tandem in order to appreciate the extent of apex predators’ indirect effects.

Abstract:
Invasive predator control is often critical to improving the nesting success of endangered birds, but methods of control vary in cost and effectiveness. Poison-baiting or trapping and removal are relatively low-cost, but may have secondary impacts on non-target species, and may not completely exclude mammals from nesting areas. Mammal-exclusion fencing has a substantial up-front cost, but due to cost savings over the lifetime of the structure and the complete exclusion of mammalian predators, this option is increasingly being utilized to protect threatened species such as ground-nesting seabirds. However, non-mammalian predators are not excluded by these fences and may continue to impact nesting success, particularly in cases where the fence is designed for the protection of waterbirds, open to an estuary or wetland on one side. Thus, there remains a research gap regarding the potential gains in waterbird nesting success from the implementation of mammal-exclusion fencing in estuarine systems. In this study, we compared the nesting success of endangered Hawaiian Stilts (Ae‘o; Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) within a mammal-exclusion fence to that of breeding pairs in a nearby wetland where trapping was the sole means for removing invasive mammals. We predicted success would be greater for breeding pairs inside the exclusion fence and the hatchlings inside the enclosure would spend more time in the nesting area than hatchlings at the unfenced site. During a single breeding season following construction of a mammal-exclusion fence, we used motion-activated game cameras to monitor nests at two sites, one site with mammal-exclusion fencing and one site without. Clutch sizes and hatch rates were significantly greater at the fenced site than the unfenced site, but time spent by chicks in the nesting area did not differ between sites. These results add to the mounting body of evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of mammal-exclusion fencing in protecting endangered birds and suggests it can aid endangered Hawaiian waterbirds toward recovery. These results also suggest that the single greatest predatory threat to the Hawaiian Stilt may be invasive mammals, despite a host of known non-mammalian predators including birds, crabs, turtles, and bullfrogs, as the complete exclusion of mammals resulted in significant gains in nesting success. As additional fences are built, future studies are necessary to compare nesting success among multiple sites and across multiple seasons to determine potential gains in fledging success and recruitment.

Abstract:
All small mammals have prominent facial whiskers that they employ as tactile sensors to guide navigation and foraging in complex habitats. Nocturnal, arboreal mammals tend to have the longest and most densely packed whiskers, and semi-aquatic mammals have the most sensitive. Here we present evidence to indicate that many small mammals use their whiskers to tactually guide safe foot positioning. Specifically, in 11, small, non-flying mammal species, we demonstrate that forepaw placement always falls within the ground contact zone of the whisker field and that forepaw width is always smaller than whisker span. We also demonstrate commonalities of whisker scanning movements (whisking) and elements of active control, associated with increasing contact with objects of interest, across multiple small mammal species that have previously only been shown in common laboratory animals. Overall, we propose that guiding locomotion, alongside environment exploration, is a common function of whisker touch sensing in small, quadrupedal mammals.

Abstract:
Evolutionär konservierte, kleine offene Leserahmen (upstream open reading frames, uORFs) sind translational aktive Kontrollelemente, die bevorzugt in Boten-Ribonukleinsäuren von Schlüsselgenen zur Regulation von Zellwachstum, Proliferation und Differenzierung vorkommen. In dieser Arbeit wurden Mäuse analysiert, die defizient für das uORF Initiationscodon des Transkriptionsfaktors CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF) sind. Proteinanalysen verschiedener Gewebe zeigten, dass C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Mäuse im Gegensatz zu Wildtyptieren nicht in der Lage sind, die kurze, auto-antagonistische C/EBPbeta LIP Isoform zu induzieren. Die verminderte LIP Expression verursachte eine gestörte Differenzierung knochenabbauender Osteoklasten und ging mit einer Zunahme von mineralisiertem Knochengewebe in C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Mäusen einher. Nach partieller Hepatektomie führte der Verlust der uORF-vermittelten Induktion von LIP in regenerierenden C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Lebern zu einer Überaktivierung C/EBPbeta-regulierter Akute Phase Gene. Im Vergleich zum Wildtyp wiesen Hepatozyten von C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Tieren einen verzögerten und abgeschwächten Wiedereintritt in die S-Phase des Zellzyklus auf. Genomweite Genexpressionsanalysen zeigten, dass die verminderte S-Phase Aktivität in regenerierenden C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Lebern mit einer persistierenden Repression von Zellzyklusgenen korrelierte, wobei insbesondere die verminderte Expression zahlreicher E2F-regulierter Gene auffällig wurde. Chromatinimmunpräzipitations- und Reportergenexperimente führten zur Entwicklung eines mechanistischen Modells, das eine isoformspezifische C/EBPbeta-Koregulation E2F-kontrollierter Zellzyklusgene vorschlägt. Die Analyse der C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF Mäuse belegt erstmals die Funktionalität der uORF-gesteuerten translationalen Kontrolle im Säugetier und weist auf eine entscheidende Bedeutung dieses Kontrollmechanismus bei zahlreichen physiologischen und pathopysiologischen Prozessen hin.<br>Evolutionary conserved small upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are translational control elements predominantly prevalent in the 5'' mRNA regions of key regulatory genes of growth, proliferation, and differentiation. This thesis comprises the evaluation of mice deficient for the uORF initiation codon of the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF). Protein analysis of various tissues demonstrated that C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF mice, in contrast to wildtype control animals (C/EBPbeta-WT), fail to induce translation of the truncated, auto-antagonistic C/EBPbeta LIP isoform. The reduced expression of LIP was associated with impaired differentiation of bone resorbing osteclasts and resulted in an increased bone volume of C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF mice. After partial hepatectomy the loss of uORF-mediated LIP induction resulted in super activation of acute phase response genes in regenerating livers. Furthermore, C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF hepatocytes showed a delayed and blunted re-entry into the cell cycle after partial hepatectomy as compared to C/EBPbeta-WT animals. Genome-wide transcript expression analyses revealed that the reduced S-phase activity in regenerating C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF livers correlated with a persistent repression of cell cycle regulatory genes and showed a remarkable underrepresentation of genes regulated by the E2F family of transcription factors. Chromatinimmunoprecipitations and luciferase reporter gene assays allowed the development of a mechanistic model that suggests C/EBPbeta isoform-specific co-regulation of E2F-controled cell cycle genes. The analysis of C/EBPbeta-Delta-uORF mice validates the functionality of uORF-mediated translational control in vertebrates and suggests a comprehensive role of uORF regulation in physiology and the etiology of disease.

Abstract:
Breast cancer remains the most common malignant disease in women worldwide. Despite the advantages of early detection and improved treatments, studies into the mechanisms that initiate and drive breast cancer progression are still required. Recent studies have identified RUNX1, which is an essential transcription factor for hematopoiesis, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer patients. However, the role of RUNX1 in the mammary gland is understudied. In this dissertation, we examined the role of RUNX1 in both normal mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells. Our in vitro studies demonstrated that RUNX1 inhibits epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion, reflecting its tumor suppressor activity, which was confirmed in vivo. Moreover, RUNX1 also contributes significantly to inhibition of the phenotypes of breast cancer stem cells (CSC), which is responsible for metastasis and tumor relapse. We showed that Runx1 overexpression reduces the tumorsphere formation and cancer stem cell population. Overall, our studies provide mechanistic evidence for RUNX1 repression of EMT in mammary cells, anti-tumor activity in vivo and regulation of CSC-like properties in breast cancer. Our results highlight crucial roles for RUNX1 in preventing epithelial to mesenchymal transition and tumor progression in breast cancer. This RUNX1 mediated mechanism points to novel intervention strategies for early stage breast cancer.

Syftet var att undersöka vilja till vidare studier genom att beräkna valda prediktorers bidrag till förklarad varians. En enkätundersökning genomfördes med 144 sistaårselever på gymnasiet, för att undersöka om deras akademiska motivation, locus of control, föräldrars utbildningsnivå och kön kunde predicera deras vilja att läsa vidare. Utfallsvariabeln konstruerades inför studien och prövades i en förstudie, där ett cronbachs alpha på .93 påvisades. Instrumentet mätte vilja till vidare studier utifrån elevernas lust, attityd och beteende. Resultatet visade en förklarad varians på 59,5 % för samtliga prediktorer, yttre akademisk motivation var den starkaste prediktorn för vilja till vidare studier. Moderns, men inte faderns, utbildningsnivå bidrog signifikant till variansen, så även akademisk icke-motivation och locus of control. Resultatet kan öka statusen för yttre motivation som verktyg i undervisning, men väcker vidare frågor gällande exempelvis föräldrars påverkan på elevers vilja att studera vidare. Begränsningar finns i resultatets generaliserings- och tolkningsmöjligheter till följd av studiens urvalsmetod.<br>The aim of this study was to explore willingness to engage in higher education by calculating the chosen predictors’ explanatory variance. A questionnaire based survey was conducted on 144 senior high school students, to see whether their academic motivation type, locus of control, parental education level and sex could predict their willingness to engage in higher education. The dependent variable was constructed for the purpose of the study and was tested in a pilot study, and produced a Cronbach’s alpha of .93. The instrument measured the students willingness to higher education based on desire, attitude and behaviour. The result showed an explained variance of 59,9 % for all predictors, where external academic motivation was the strongest predictor for willingness to engage in higher education. The mother’s, but not the father’s, education level contributed significantly to the variance, as did academic amotivation and locus of control. The result can increase the status of external motivation as a tool in education, but also gives rise to further questions, for example regarding parents influence on students’ willingness to engage in higher education. There are limits in the way the result can be interpreted and generalized, due to the sampling process.

Abstract:
Abstract It is considered that locomotion robots are aggressive under the circumstances where human hardly work, for example, in the nuclear power plant, in the bottom of the sea and on a planet. The injury and the fault of the robot might occur frequently under those circumstances. It is very important problem that the robot can realize the walking with the fault. This is very difficult problem for biped and quadruped robot to realize a stable walking in the case that actuator or sensor is broken. And, in walking of mammal, gait pattern is generated by neural oscillator existing in the spinal cord. In the case that a lower neural system is injured, mammal realize a walking by a higher neural system. Thus, mammal has a self renovation function. In this study, in order to realize the stable walking of the quadruped robot with fault, we discuss the control method with self renovation function for the fault of the decentralized controller and the angular sensor. First, we design the centralized controller of one leg by sliding mode control for the fault of decentralized controller. Second, Sky Hook Suspension Control is applied for the fault of the angular sensor. The proposed methods are verified by 3D simulations by CAD and experiments.

Abstract:
Marine hydrokinetic (MHK) devices are currently being considered for the generation of electrical power in marine tidal regions. Turbulence generated in the boundary layers of these channels interacts with a turbine to excite the blades into low-to mid-frequency vibration. Additionally, the self-generated turbulent boundary layer on the turbine blade excites its trailing edge into vibration. Both of these hydrodynamic sources generate radiated noise. Being installed in a marine ecosystem, the noise generated by these MHK devices may affect the fish and marine mammal well-being. Since this MHK technology is relatively new, much of the design practice follows that from conventional horizontal axis wind turbines. In contrast to other underwater turbomachines like conventional merchant ships that have solid blades, wind turbine blades are made of hollow fiberglass composites. This paper systematically investigates the contrast of this design detail on the blade vibration and radiated noise for a particular MHK turbine design.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present the design and proof of concept of a streamlined, low-cost, and smooth-hulled underwater vehicle (MASUV-1). MASUV-1 utilizes an ad-hoc designed multi-directional thrust-vectoring system for steering and an entirely enclosed propulsion system, allowing for safe operation in the vicinity of marine mammals. Tests of the vehicle in a still water environment show high maneuverability at speeds comparable with similar torpedo-type class underwater vehicles.

Abstract:
This paper presents a bio-inspired dynamic leg model with a novel variable stiffness element to create a normal body motion during stance phase. The variable stiffness in the model is implemented through structure-controlled stiffness. It allows to decouple the stiffness from joint motion, which makes the stiffness a independent variable. Sensitivity of leg model to the variable stiffness element is investigated through dynamics analysis. Because of the decoupled structure of dynamics equations, the deflection of ankle joint related to variable stiffness element is planned based on generalized forced vibration motion in order to create the leg’s motion. A detailed study to investigate the dynamic characteristics under different generalized vibration parameters, and the desired variable stiffness function are evaluated. It is found that under the effects of variable stiffness, the ground reaction forces of leg model during stance motion have similar characteristics to those observed for mammals. Furthermore, in order to create a normal motion during stance phase, linear stiffness variation characteristics and small stiffness range are needed for the proposed variable stiffness actuator.
