The Influence of Coarse Woody Debris, Disturbance, and Restoration on Biological Communities in Sandy Coastal Plain Streams
(2009-12-18)
The influence of instream habitat on benthic macroinvertebrates was assessed
from multiple descriptive and experimental studies within the Fort Benning Military
Installation (FBMI), Georgia and the Tuskegee National ...
Larvae of Sarcophagidae (Insecta: Diptera) and their Relationship with the Pitcher Plants (Sarraceniaceae: Sarracenia) of Southeastern U.S. Bogs
(2009-08-11)
Larvae of diptera of the family Sarcophagidae from bogs in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida were collected, reared, and identified to species. Additionally, the effect of sarcophagid larvae on nutrient uptake in white-topped ...
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 ...
Evaluation of Intercellular Signaling in Legionella pneumophila
(2009-09-08)
The number of prokaryotes known to participate in intercellular signaling is growing. The objective of this research was to determine if Legionella species are able to communicate through the use of intercellular signals ...
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 ...
Phage-coupled Piezoelectric Biodetector for Salmonella typhimurium
(2008-09-09)
Salmonella typhimurium is a leading cause of foodborne illness and a critical threat agent for potential bioterrorism. Current rapid detection initiatives include biosensors that routinely incorporate antibodies for ...
Roosting behavior and habitat dynamics of male Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) following a large-scale natural disturbance
(2008-09-09)
Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) have been the subject of numerous ecological studies, partly because they are endangered. A majority of research has focused on maternity colonies and relatively less is known about males. ...
Evidence that Maternal Diet Alters Steroid Levels and Primary Offspring Sex Ratio in the Zebra Finch
(2009-08-10)
The growing interest in the reproductive benefits of biasing offspring sex ratios in avian species has generated curiosity and provided much insight into the potential factors and mechanisms controlling sex-ratio adjustment. ...
