Community-wide genetic diversity of Metarhizium species among 480 soil isolates from 14 states of western USA was investigated to assess the contributions of clonality and recombination in determining each species' population structure. Seven species, varying greater than 100-fold in relative abundance, were identified by phylogenetic analysis of 5' EF1-α (5TEF), including M. robertsii (n = 372), M. guizhouense (n = 37), M. brunneum (n = 37), M. lepidiotae (n = 14), M. pemphigi (n = 11), M. anisopliae (n = 7) and M. pingshaense (n = 2). Analyses of composite multilocus genotypes integrating 5TEF sequences, multilocus microsatellites and mating type idiomorphs conducted on a subset of 239 isolates revealed that all species populations dimber of genetic individuals observed throughout western North American Metarhizium species may signify that these represent peripheral populations descended from limited numbers of founders among which there has been little recombination relative to the extent of clone expansion and within-clone genetic divergence. Having a service dog can help to increase independence and well-being among people with a disability or a chronic health condition. Although there has been an increasing use of service dogs among children and youth their impact has not yet been synthesized. The purpose of this article was to conduct a systematic review assessing the impact of service dogs on children, youth and their families. Systematic searches of seven international databases from 1985 to 2020 led to 29 studies meeting our inclusion criteria. Using a narrative synthesis review approach we analyzed these studies regarding their s
