"I would have expected rapid die-off," Mr. Hales said, "but that's not what's out there".
The amazingly rapid die-off of a huge percentage of the world's coral reefs is not a sad but normal tragedy; it's a crime.
Recent reports of rapid die-off of aspen (Populus tremuloides), coupled with vigorous debate over long-term reduction of aspen cover in western North America, has prompted considerable research given the importance of this forest type for economic and non-economic interests.
Paul S. Martin applied his overkill hypothesis or "blitzkrieg" model to explain the loss of the Malagasy megafauna in 1984, predicting a rapid die-off as humans spread in a wave across the island, hunting the large species to extinction.
However, wastewater supplementation was required to prevent the rapid die-off of enriched protozoa from CGWM.
On the basis of these results, we conclude that ROS accumulation induced by (WT, A53T or E46K) α-syn causes the rapid die-off of aged cells, particularly aged elo cells.
If ROS accumulation causes the rapid die-off of aged elo cells expressing WT α-syn, then an anti-oxidant such as glutathione (GSH), which effectively eliminates ROS caused by WT α-syn [41], should inhibit ROS accumulation and prevent the rapid loss of viability.
An exception may be the limited cases where the food involved neither supports pathogen growth nor causes rapid die-off.
When large animals, big fish and old trees die off, their rapid demise affects entire eco-systems, imperiling creatures both great and small.
The fungus first swept through the Sierra Nevada range in the 1970s, triggering rapid, massive die-offs.
Seasonal variability in the fraction of wells with detectable E. coli is consistent with rapid transport and harder to reconcile with long-lived E. coli that die off slowly and are gradually filtered along a flow path.
