A North Dakota State University faculty member is among a group of international researchers studying why older parents produce offspring who tend to have shorter lives. Britt J. Heidinger, assistant professor of biological sciences at NDSU, Fargo, has joined colleagues in Scotland to address this question through the study of a long-lived seabird, the European shag. The results appear in "Parental age influences offspring telomere loss," published in Functional Ecology.
A new review published in Biology Letters of The Royal Society examines the long-term impacts of exposure to stressors during development. The review by Dr. Britt Heidinger, North Dakota State University, Fargo, and Dr. Mark Haussmann, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, looks at whether the effect of stressors on parents lingers to impact the health of their offspring.
While many people find bats scary, they actually play very important roles in our environment, according to Dr. Erin Gillam, associate professor in Biological Sciences at NDSU. Bats eat crop pests, such as cutworms, potato beetles, grasshoppers and corn-borer moths. Gillam and her students are partnering with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department and researchers at the United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck to better understand how bat populations in North Dakota may be vulnerable to this disease.
From the workplace to the boardroom, research shows that adult bullying takes many forms. October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. Dr. Pamela Lutgen-Sandvik, North Dakota State University, Fargo, has researched the topic of workplace bullying for more than a decade.
