The study, led by researchers from Michigan Technological University and Duke University and recently published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, found that moose with periodontitis were much more likely to develop severe forms of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. “Many diseases which impact people are not uncommon among other species,” said lead study author Sarah Hoy, a research assistant professor in Michigan Tech’s College of Forest Resources and Environmental Sciences (CFRES).

by Sarah Hoy and Cyndi Perkins In 1997, one new wolf’s arrival via ice bridge changed everything.
On the heels of co-authoring a study in Science Advances, Isle Royale wolf-moose study co-leader Sarah Hoy (CFRES) explains how one male wolf, nicknamed "The Old Gray Guy," triggered a series of knock-on events that impacted the national park’s forested ecosystem for decades.

As we grow older, it’s common to muse about our legacies. Have we enriched our community or benefited society? Will any of our achievements be remembered long after we’re gone? Like the George Bailey character played by Jimmy Stewart in the holiday film classic “It’s a Wonderful Life,” we may wonder if the world would be different if we’d never existed.

ReviewSOCIAL SCIENCES INTRODUCTIONThe historian Michael Katz (1) writes, “The idea that poverty is a problem of persons—that it results from moral, cultural, or biological inadequacies—has dominated discussions of poverty for well over two hundred years and given us the enduring idea of the undeserving poor.” Scholarship and public debate about American poverty have traditionally focused on contrasting the individual poor against the individual nonpoor.

Research ArticleIMMUNOLOGY INTRODUCTIONThe cytokine interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a danger-associated molecular pattern that alerts the immune system upon tissue stress or damage (1). Under homeostatic conditions, the inactive form of IL-33 is constitutively expressed in the nucleus of epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, but environmental insult and tissue damage trigger the release of the “alarmin” into the surrounding tissue environment (1).

MATERIALS AND METHODSMigratory locusts (Locusta migratoria) from a colony maintained at the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences were reared in our laboratory under an L14:D10 photoperiod at 30° ± 2°C with a diet of fresh wheat seedlings and bran as previously reported (10). Gregarious nymphs were reared in cages (40 cm by 40 cm by 40 cm) with 500 insects per cage.
