PRAIRIE DOG DECLINE REDUCES THE SUPPLY OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND LEADS TO DESERTIFICATION OF SEMIARID GRASSLANDS.

Prairie dog decline reduces the supply of ecosystem services and leads to desertification of semiarid grasslands.

Anthropogenic impacts on North American grasslands, a highly endangered ecosystem, have led to declines of prairie dogs, a keystone species, over 98% of their historical range.While impacts of this loss on maintenance of grassland biodiversity have been widely documented, much less is known about the consequences on the supply of ecosystem services

Four temporin-derived peptides exhibit antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Temporin-GHa (GHa) was cloned from Hylarana guentheri, showing a weak antimicrobial activity.In order to improve its bactericidal efficacy, GHaR6R, GHaR7R, GHaR8R and GHaR9W were designed and synthesized.Compared to the parent peptide, the GHa-derived peptides show potent antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
