Potential Mechanisms in the Pathogenesis of Virulent Aeromonas hydrophila in Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus
(2020-04-16)
Aeromonas hydrophila are Gram-negative bacteria ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems. A. hydrophila are opportunistic pathogens with a broad host range that includes mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. ...
Physiological costs of reproduction in female mice
(2020-02-07)
The hypothesis that the large demand of reproduction negatively impacts future reproduction and/or survival has become a major topic in many fields within biology. Although many assume negative linear correlations between ...
Course Elements that Impact Performance and Behavior in Undergraduate Science Classes
(2020-07-14)
Using evidence-based approaches to teaching can help instructors and institutions
improve student experiences in the classroom. By understanding the ways that different
classroom environments and activities impact students, ...
The persistent effects of stress during lactation on maternal and offspring mitochondria
(2020-07-13)
An increase of circulating glucocorticoids in reproductive females may augment allocation of
resources towards self-maintenance and away from offspring. Thus, elevated circulating
glucocorticoids may negatively affect ...
Social Network Formation in Translocated Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus)
(2020-07-31)
The gopher tortoise is a fossorial species native to the coastal plain of the southeastern United States. The species occurs spatially in colonies, or aggregations of individuals on the landscape, which were recently found ...
The Inflamed Gut: An Integrative Approach to Understanding the Impact of Inflammation on Bacteriophage-Host Dynamics.
(2020-05-15)
The intestinal microbiome is a diverse and dynamic microbial ecosystem residing within the gastrointestinal tract. The mammalian intestine is home to both commensal and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms. The immune ...
Examination of the functions of Clade III Cytokinin Response Factors in relation to Cytokinin and the Oxidative Stress Response
(2020-11-23)
Cytokinin response factors (CRFs) are a family of transcription factors belonging to the AP2/ERF transcription factor family. A subset of these CRFs have been shown to play a role in both the cytokinin (CK) signal cascade ...
Functional study of the Wnt signaling network that coordinates early anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axis specification and patterning in the sea urchin embryo
(2020-05-18)
The establishment and patterning of the different embryonic body axes are crucial events in early development of any embryo. Anterior-posterior (AP) and dorsal-ventral (DV) axis specification and patterning are fundamental ...
Evaluation of Movement Patterns and Space Use in Reintroduced Eastern Indigo Snakes (Drymarchon couperi) in the Florida Panhandle
(2020-08-05)
The Eastern Indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi; EIS) is a federally threatened species of colubrid snake endemic to the U.S. Southeastern Coastal Plain for which reintroduction efforts are currently ongoing to reestablish ...
Evaluating Efficacy of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria for Promoting Growth and Preventing Disease in both Fish and Plants
(2020-04-22)
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are bacteria residing within the rhizosphere of a plant, that elicit health benefits to the plant (Kloepper and Schroth, 1978; Kloepper et al., 2004). To understand the growth ...
