Disordered RNA chaperones can enhance nucleic acid folding via local charge screening
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.RNA chaperones are proteins that aid in the folding of nucleic acids, but remarkably, many of these proteins are intrinsically disordered. How can these proteins function without a well-defined three-dimensional structure? Here, we address this question by studying the hepatitis C virus core protein, a chaperone that promotes viral genome dimerization. Using single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, we find that this positively charged disordered protein facilitates the formation of compact nucleic acid conformations by acting as a flexible macromolecular counterion that locally screens repulsive electrostatic interactions with an efficiency equivalent to molar salt concentrations. The resulting compaction can bias unfolded nucleic acids towards folding, resulting in faster folding kinetics. This potentially widespread mechanism is supported by molecular simulations that rationalize the experimental findings by describing the chaperone as an unstructured polyelectrolyte.Swiss National Science FoundationEuropean Molecular Biology OrganizationIntramural Research Program of the NIDDK at the National Institutes of Healt
Updated Marine Mammal Distribution and Abundance Estimates in British Columbia
Information relating to the distribution and abundance of species is critical for effective conservation and management. For many species, including cetacean species of conservation concern, abundance estimates are lacking, out of date and/or highly uncertain. Systematic, line-transect marine mammal surveys were conducted in British Columbia’s (BC) coastal waters over multiple years and seasons (summer 2004, 2005, 2008, and spring/autumn 2007). In total, 10,057km of transects were surveyed in an 83,547km2 study area. Abundance estimates were calculated using two different methods: Conventional Distance Sampling (CDS) and Density Surface Modelling (DSM). CDS generates a single density estimate for each stratum, whereas DSM explicitly models spatial variation and offers potential for greater precision by incorporating environmental predictors. Although DSM yields a more relevant product for the purposes of marine spatial planning, CDS has proven to be useful in cases where there are fewer observations available for seasonal and inter-annual comparison, particularly for the scarcely observed elephant seal. The summer abundance estimates (with lower and upper 95% confidence intervals; all DSM method unless otherwise stated), assuming certain trackline detection (underestimates true population size) were: harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) 8,091 (4,885–13,401); Dall’s porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) 5,303 (4,638–6,064); Pacific white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) 22,160 (16,522–29,721); humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) 1,092 (993–1,200); fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) 329 (274–395); killer whale (all ecotypes; Orcinus orca), 371 (222–621); common minke whale (B. acutorostrata) 522 (295–927); harbour seal (total; Phoca vitulina) 24,916 (19,666–31,569); Steller sea lion (total; Eumetopias jubatus) 4,037 (1,100–14,815); and northern elephant seal (CDS method; Mirounga angustirostris) 65 (35–121). Abundance estimates are provided on a stratum-specific basis with additional estimates provided for Steller sea lions and harbour seals that were ‘hauled out’ and ‘in water’. This analysis updates previous estimates by including additional years of effort, providing greater spatial precision with the DSM method over CDS, novel reporting for spring and autumn seasons (rather than summer alone), and providing new abundance estimates for Steller sea lion and northern elephant seal. In addition to providing a baseline of marine mammal abundance and distribution, against which future changes can be compared, this information offers the opportunity to assess the risks posed to marine mammals by existing and emerging threats, such as fisheries bycatch, ship strikes, and increased oil spill and ocean noise issues associated with increases of container ship and oil tanker traffic in British Columbia’s continental shelf waters
Spatio-Temporal Gap Analysis of OBIS-SEAMAP Project Data: Assessment and Way Forward
The OBIS-SEAMAP project has acquired and served high-quality marine mammal, seabird, and sea turtle data to the public since its inception in 2002. As data accumulated, spatial and temporal biases resulted and a comprehensive gap analysis was needed in order to assess coverage to direct data acquisition for the OBIS-SEAMAP project and for taxa researchers should true gaps in knowledge exist. All datasets published on OBIS-SEAMAP up to February 2009 were summarized spatially and temporally. Seabirds comprised the greatest number of records, compared to the other two taxa, and most records were from shipboard surveys, compared to the other three platforms. Many of the point observations and polyline tracklines were located in northern and central Atlantic and the northeastern and central-eastern Pacific. The Southern Hemisphere generally had the lowest representation of data, with the least number of records in the southern Atlantic and western Pacific regions. Temporally, records of observations for all taxa were the lowest in fall although the number of animals sighted was lowest in the winter. Oceanographic coverage of observations varied by platform for each taxa, which showed that using two or more platforms represented habitat ranges better than using only one alone. Accessible and published datasets not already incorporated do exist within spatial and temporal gaps identified. Other related open-source data portals also contain data that fill gaps, emphasizing the importance of dedicated data exchange. Temporal and spatial gaps were mostly a result of data acquisition effort, development of regional partnerships and collaborations, and ease of field data collection. Future directions should include fostering partnerships with researchers in the Southern Hemisphere while targeting datasets containing species with limited representation. These results can facilitate prioritizing datasets needed to be represented and for planning research for true gaps in space and time
Depression: An Important Comorbidity With Metabolic Syndrome in a General Population
OBJECTIVE—There is a recognized association among depression, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Data-driven approach for highlighting priority areas for protection in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction
One of the aims of the United Nations (UN) negotiations on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is to develop a legal process for the establishment of area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, in ABNJ. Here we use a conservation planning algorithm to integrate 55 global data layers on ABNJ species diversity, habitat heterogeneity, benthic features, productivity, and fishing as a means for highlighting priority regions in ABNJ to be considered for spatial protection. We also include information on forecasted species distributions under climate change. We found that parameterizing the planning algorithm to protect at least 30% of these key ABNJ conservation features, while avoiding areas of high fishing effort, yielded a solution that highlights 52,545,634 km2 (23.7%) of ABNJ as high priority regions for protection. Instructing the planning model to avoid ABNJ areas with high fishing effort resulted in relatively minor shifts in the planning solution, when compared to a separate model that did not consider fishing effort. Integrating information on climate change had a similarly minor influence on the planning solution, suggesting that climate-informed ABNJ protected areas may be able to protect biodiversity now and in the future. This globally standardized, data-driven process for identifying priority ABNJ regions for protection serves as a valuable complement to other expert-driven processes underway to highlight ecologically or biologically significant ABNJ regions. Both the outputs and methods exhibited in this analysis can additively inform UN decision-making concerning establishment of ABNJ protected areas
Striking the right balance in right whale conservation

The definitive version was published in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 66 (2009): 1399-1403, doi:10.1139/F09-115.Despite many years of study and protection, the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) remains on the brink of extinction. There is a crucial gap in our understanding of their habitat use in the migratory corridor along the eastern seaboard of the United States. Here, we characterize habitat suitability in migrating right whales in relation to depth, distance to shore, and the recently enacted ship speed regulations near major ports. We find that the range of suitable habitat exceeds previous estimates and that, as compared with the enacted 20 nautical mile buffer, the originally proposed 30 nautical mile buffer would protect more habitat for this critically endangered species.This work was supported in part by SERDP/DoD grant

Feedback and Recycled Wind Accretion: Assembling the z=0 Galaxy Mass Function
We analyse cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that include
observationally-constrained prescriptions for galactic outflows. If these
simulated winds accurately represent winds in the real Universe, then material
previously ejected in winds provides the dominant source of gas infall for new
star formation at redshifts z<1. This recycled wind accretion, or wind mode,
provides a third physically distinct accretion channel in addition to the "hot"
and "cold" modes emphasised in recent theoretical studies. Because of the
interaction between outflows and gas in and around halos, the recycling
timescale of wind material (t_rec) is shorter in higher-mass systems, which
reside in denser gaseous environments. In these simulations, this differential
recycling plays a central role in shaping the present-day galaxy stellar mass
function (GSMF). If we remove all particles that were ever ejected in a wind,
then the predicted GSMFs are much steeper than observed; galaxy masses are
suppressed both by the direct removal of gas and by the hydrodynamic heating of
their surroundings, which reduces subsequent infall. With wind recycling
included, the simulation that incorporates our favoured momentum-driven wind
scalings reproduces the observed GSMF for stellar masses 10^9 < M < 5x10^10
Msolar. At higher masses, wind recycling leads to excessive galaxy masses and
excessive star formation rates relative to observations. In these massive
systems, some quenching mechanism must suppress the re-accretion of gas ejected
from star-forming galaxies. In short, as has long been anticipated, the form of
the GSMF is governed by outflows; the unexpected twist here for our simulated
winds is that it is not primarily the ejection of material but how the ejected
material is re-accreted that governs the GSMF.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, accepted by MNRA
Providing a Safe, In-Person, Residential College Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions were forced to make difficult decisions regarding the 2020–2021 academic year. Many institutions decided to have courses in an online remote format, others decided to attempt an in-person experience, while still others took a hybrid approach. Hope College (Holland, MI) decided that an in-person semester would be safer and more equitable for students. To achieve this at a residential college required broad collaboration across multiple stakeholders. Here, we share lessons learned and detail Hope College's model, including wastewater surveillance, comprehensive testing, contact tracing, and isolation procedures that allowed us to deliver on our commitment of an in-person, residential college experience
