- A New Open Education Textbook for Nonmajors: Fish, Fishing, and ConservationOrth, Donald J.; Walz, Anita R.; Grey, Kindred (2023-02-01)Fish, Fishing, and Conservation is a peer-reviewed and student-reviewed open textbook forthcoming in June 2023. License CC BY 4.0. This textbook illuminates the world of fish, fishing, and conservation and allows a student to engage in contemporary discussion over ethical and evidence-based policy and regulations. True ethics teaching takes place only when the individual student realizes that personal change has taken place. While we are all experts in different fields, we should become at least a “competent amateur” to facilitate civil discourse.

- An Overview of Ecological Studies of Wildlife Potentially Impacted by the Kingston Ash SpillHenry, T. H.; Hopkins, William A. (2009-11)The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a multi-purpose federal agency that on December 22, 2008 suffered a retaining wall failure at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant in Roane County, Tennessee. This event released approximately 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash into the Emory River. TVA and cooperators are assessing impacts of the spill to wildlife resources in the area. Groups of wildlife included in these studies include piscivorous, insectivorous, and herbivorous birds; spring breeding amphibians; aquatic reptiles; and terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals. These studies will serve as the foundation for upcoming work that will determine whether key ecological receptors have experienced any adverse biological effects from exposure to trace elements from the ash spill.
- The survival of Campylobacter sp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7 Inoculated onto Kale During Refrigerated StorageBywater, Auja L.; Ponder, Monica A.; Strawn, Laura K.; Eifert, Joseph D.; Alexander, Kathleen A. (2022-10-07)Campylobacter and pathogenic Escherichia coli illnesses are attributed to consumption of fresh produce. From 2018-2021 there were eleven multistate outbreaks investigated by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that were linked to leafy greens. The leafy green, kale, is increasingly consumed raw. Without cooking, there is no heat kill step to remove harmful pathogens from raw kale. There are several places along the supply chain that leafy greens, such as kale, can become contaminated with E. coli and Campylobacter. Contamination can occur at the farm during growth, during harvest, and after harvest. In comparison to other leafy greens kale has a longer shelf life often exceeding 15 days under proper storage conditions
