Essential Role for P62 in AMPA Receptor Trafficking and Synaptic Plasticity
(2008-09-09)
AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate major fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian central nerve system (CNS). Trafficking of AMPA receptors to and away from the postsynaptic membrane is fundamental ...
Functional Genomics of Gaba Metabolism in Yeast Thermotolerance
(2008-09-09)
?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a ubiquitous non-protein amino acid which accumulates rapidly in response to diverse environmental stresses. The GABA shunt is a pathway involving three enzymes, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, ...
A Floristic Study of Weaver Creek Wetland, Santa Rosa County, Florida
(2008-09-09)
Steepheads (streams that originate from the bases of valley walls) create a unique freshwater wetland habitat. Currently, steepheads are known to exist only in the southeastern United States along the Gulf Coastal Plain. ...
The Effects of Burrow Collapse on the Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus)
(2008-09-09)
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is a species in decline due, in part, to loss of habitat and altered land use. One particular area of concern is the use of vehicles during urbanization and agriculture practices ...
Mating Behavior of Columbian Ground Squirrels
(2008-09-09)
Columbian ground squirrels (Spermophilus columbianus) are diurnal, herbivorous, colonial, and hibernatory rodents that reside in the Rocky Mountains of western North America. During April-July in 2005-2007, field assistants ...
Placement and recovery of seed caches by a solitary rodent, Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii)
(2008-09-09)
Seed caching is a common behavior that has important ecological consequences for seed-hoarding animals, granivorous competitors, and plants whose seeds are harvested and stored. Despite the significance of this behavior, ...
Role of Arabidopsis Thaliana Calmodulin Isoforms in Tolerance to Abiotic Stress
(2008-09-09)
Calmodulin and Ca2+ have been implicated in adaptation of plants to changes in its environment. Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) genome has nine genetic loci encoding calmodulin protein isoforms. We have used wild type ...
Molecular Responses of Giardia lamblia to Gamma-Irradiation
(2008-09-09)
Giardia lamblia (syn intestinalis, syn duodenalis) is an important human pathogen and the etiological agent of giardiasis, the most common gastrointestinal disease in the world. Since its discovery in 1681, Giardia has ...
The Physiological Effects of Bright Plumage Coloration
(2008-09-09)
Songbirds with extensive, carotenoid-based plumage tend to maintain high levels of circulating carotenoids in plasma, which could represent a potential tradeoff between maintaining brightness at the expense of carotenoid-related ...
