Seasonal Habitat and Shelter Selection by Reintroduced Eastern Indigo Snakes in Conecuh National Forest, Alabama
(2013-11-15)
Species reintroduction has become an increasingly popular conservation method for reestablishing extirpated populations of declining species. Because poor habitat quality at release sites has been one of the most frequently ...
Small RNAs in Gossypium and Their Roles in the Response to Heat Stress
(2013-12-05)
Small regulatory RNAs, which usually are 20 to 24 nt in length, play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. Based on their origin, biogenesis and function, plant small RNAs can be classified into ...
Interaction between SQSTM1/p62 and HDAC6: Impacts on the Aggresome-autophagy pathway and Microtubule Dynamics
(2013-11-15)
Aggresome-autophagy is a cellular degradation pathway that responds to protein misfolding stress. This pathway is particularly important because it maintains cellular homeostasis whenever the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation ...
Ultrastructural, Immunohistochemical, and Biochemical Variation Amongst Symbiodinium Isolates
(2013-07-30)
Symbiodinium spp. reside intracellularly in a complex symbiosome (host and symbiont-derived) in a specific host-symbiont associations. Symbiodinium is a diverse genus with variation equivalent to that of other dinoflagellate ...
Geometric Morphometrics and Phylogeny of the Catfish genus Mystus Scopoli (Siluriformes:Bagridae) and North American Cyprinids (Cypriniformes)
(2013-12-11)
Understanding the evolution of organismal form is a primary concern of comparative biology, and inferring the phylogenetic history of shape change is, therefore, a central concern. Shape is one of the most important and ...
Observations on the Ecology and Behavior of Macroseius biscutatus, an Obligate Pitcher Plant Mite
(2013-04-16)
The current conservation status of arthropods symbiotically associated with tall-form Sarracenia spp. is poorly known. Yet these unique organisms and their associations are disappearing due to habitat loss, degradation and ...
Identification and characterization of suppressors of the non-fermentable carbon source defects of coa1Δ
(2013-11-21)
The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) in yeast mitochondria is dependent on the assembly factor Coa1. ATP1 was identified as a multi-copy suppressor of the coa1∆ respiration defect. ATP1 is additive with previously ...
Mitochondrial Copper Transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2013-12-04)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a copper pool within the mitochondrial matrix that is required for assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase. Matrix copper exists bound to an anionic, fluorescent molecule known as ...
Ecological Assessments of the Lesser Prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) in Southeastern New Mexico
(2013-04-19)
In this study of lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus), I constructed artificial leks using audio playback (aural stimuli) and decoys (visual stimuli) on active leks, as well as on abandoned lekking locations ...
Changes in Concentrations of Heat Shock Protein 60, 70 and 90 of a Wild Songbird in Responses to Distinct Stress Challenges
(2013-01-09)
Wild songbirds, such as the House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) require physiological mechanisms to maintain the homeostasis in face of stress threats. One of the primary mechanisms to protect system integrity is production ...
