Parasite community structure in slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) and longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) from tributaries experiencing different levels of oil sands development

Parasite community species richness and structure were assessed in slimy sculpin ( Cottus cognatus ) and longnose dace ( Rhinichthys cataractae ) from the Steepbank and Firebag rivers, two tributaries of the Athabasca River (Alberta, Canada) experiencing differing degrees of oil...

The chromosomal genome sequence of the blushing star coral, Stephanocoenia intersepta (Lamarck, 1816) (Scleractinia: Astrocoeniidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Stephanocoenia intersepta (blushing star coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Astrocoeniidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 656.21 megabases and 656.55 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (94.84%) is sca...

The chromosomal genome sequence of the boulder star coral, Orbicella franksi (Gregory, 1895) (Scleractinia: Merulinidae)

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Orbicella franksi (boulder star coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Merulinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 496.97 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.24%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The...

Development and Initial Validation of the Multidimensional Employee Engagement Instrument (MEEI): A Mixed-Methods Scale Development Study

Employee engagement remains one of the most widely studied constructs in organizational research. However, the ever-increasing involvement of Generation Z and Generation Y employees in the workplace raises the question of whether current employee engagement measuring tools are ap...

The chromosomal genome sequence of the spiny sea fan, Muricea muricata (Pallas, 1766) (Malacalcyonacea: Plexauridae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from a <ns5:italic>Muricea muricata</ns5:italic> specimen (spiny sea fan; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Malacalcyonacea; Plexauridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 453.40 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.45%) is scaffolded into 16 chromo...
