Invasive Characteristics of Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense Lour.) in a Bay Swamp in the Fall Line Hills of East-Central Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Exotic species often become invasive because of an ability to occur in many habitat types with a variety of environmental variables. One species of plant that is particularly invasive throughout the southeastern United ...
Analysis of Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen to Determine Migrational Source of Silver-Haired Bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) in Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Signatures of deuterium obtained from claws of 21 silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) were used to estimate the nearest probable pre-migratory location of these bats. For 5 consecutive weekends beginning 28 ...
Xyris tennesseensis: status survey, habitat restoration/management concerns, and relation to a new xyrid, Xyris spathifolia
(2009-02-23)
Xyris tennesseensis is a federally endangered, obligate wetland, perennial herb. It inhabits calcareous seeps, fens, and spring runs with a distribution restricted to the Interior Plateau and Ridge and Valley ecoregions ...
Response of Aquatic Biota to Changing Land Use Pattern in Streams of West Georgia, USA
(2009-02-23)
Watershed land use change is one of the most pervasive influences facing streams in the southeastern United States. In particular, watershed urbanization has a potentially dramatic impact on stream biota. Through direct ...
Pyridoxine (Pyridoxamine) 5'-phosphate Oxidase in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2009-02-23)
Vitamin B6 is the collective term for a group of three related compounds, pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL) and pyridoxamine (PM), and their phosphorylated derivatives, pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate ...
Functional and Genetic Analysis of Plant Transcription Factors Involved in the Plant Growth Under Various Environmental Conditions
(2009-02-23)
Arabidopsis serves as a model system for the plant molecular biology. Many biotic and abiotic factors affect plant growth from seed germination to mature plant growth. External factors studied in our research include ...
Isolation and Characterization of SCARECROW Suppressor Mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2008-09-09)
SCARECROW (SCR) is a transcriptional regulator that plays key roles in several developmental processes in a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. SCR orthologs have been identified in agriculturally important plants such as ...
Population Dynamic Modeling of the Corkscrew Sea Anemone Bartholomea Annulata on Caribbean Coral Reefs
(2009-02-23)
The corkscrew anemone Bartholomea annulata is a large, common sea anemone on Caribbean coral reefs. The holobiont of B. annulata, endosymbiotic microalgae (zooxanthellae), and ectosymbiotic cleaner shrimps may have positive ...
Habitat Associations Among Bats on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
(2009-02-23)
As forests become more fragmented, more research about use of forests by bats at the landscape level is needed. I employed 2 methods to investigate use of forest by foraging bats; mist-net surveys and ultrasonic-detection ...
Ecological Associations of Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in the Upper Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Alabama
(2009-02-23)
Relatively little is known about most of the 15 species of bats in Alabama. Especially scarce are data on species occurring in southern Alabama, including the Mobile-Tensaw Delta region. Because there are significant ...
