(2006-08-15)
The culture of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in inland low salinity well waters (LSWW) is a promising, fledgling industry in Alabama. Despite the success of a small number of farmers in producing L. ...
Physiological and Phenological Responses to Experimental Throughfall Reduction and Parameterization of the 3-PG Model for Modeling Long-Term Responses to Climate Change in Longleaf Pine Forests
(2021-11-29)
Ongoing changes in the earth’s climate are having profound effects on forest ecosystems in many regions. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) is considered one of the most drought-resistant pines in the southeastern U.S. ...
Physiological Basis of Differential Sensitivity of Selected Graminaceous Species to Aminocyclopyrachlor
(2014-08-18)
Synthetic auxin herbicides are widely used in many grass systems due to their selective control of broadleaf weeds and safety to grass species. Aminocyclopyrachlor (ACPC) is a new synthetic auxin herbicide used for broadleaf ...
Physiological Comparison of Three Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivars Under High Tunnel and Open Field Conditions
(2023-05-02)
Recent studies have shown that high tunnel production of blueberries generates higher biomass accumulation due to the microclimates created compared to open field production. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological ...
Physiological Correlates of Bat Rabies Pathogenesis and Epizootiology
(2014-07-24)
Rabies virus (RABV) is one model pathogen to consider for studying the dynamics of emerging infectious diseases under both laboratory and field conditions. The evolutionary history of RABV is characterized by regularly ...
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 ...
The Physiological Effects of Bright Plumage Coloration
(2008-08-15)
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 ...
Physiological effects of chytridiomycosis, a cause of amphibian population declines
(2012-05-01)
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) of wildlife can have devastating impacts on biodiversity. The fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is implicated with amphibian population ...
Physiological Effects of Prolonged Sitting and Local Pressure Application in the UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter
(2013-04-09)
Advances in flight technologies and the demand for long range flight have increased mission lengths for United States Army UH-60 Black Hawk aviators. Prolonged mission times have increased reports of pilots discomfort and ...
The Physiological Effects of Relocation on Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus)
(2006-12-15)
As a result of habitat destruction throughout the southeastern United States, gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) have experienced an 80% decrease in their populations in the past 100 years. To protect the remaining ...
Physiological Effects of Suppression of Neutral and Traumatic Thoughts in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
(2008-08-15)
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is characterized by oscillation of cognitive intrusions and avoidance. Recent research findings suggest that thought suppression may lead to increased intrusive thoughts for trauma ...
