Evaluating Efficacy of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria for Promoting Growth and Preventing Disease in both Fish and Plants
(2020-04-22)
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are bacteria residing within the rhizosphere of a plant, that elicit health benefits to the plant (Kloepper and Schroth, 1978; Kloepper et al., 2004). To understand the growth ...
Diversity and evolution of annelids with emphasis on Spionidae
(2020-06-01)
Annelida is a diverse phylum with over 21,000 species described that occupy a variety of environments including marine, terrestrial, and fresh water. This group includes earthworms, leeches, and marine segmented worms. ...
The Roles of Cytokinins and Cytokinin-N-Glucosides in Development and Gene Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana
(2020-07-02)
The phytohormone cytokinin (CK) was first discovered over sixty years ago, and the decades following have produced an enormous amount of data about the various roles CK plays in intracellular signaling, gene expression, ...
Molecular Investigations of the Diversity of Freshwater Fishes across Three Continents
(2020-07-02)
Fishes are the most speciose vertebrates, and incredible diversity can be found within different groups of fish. Due to their physiological limitations, fish are confined to waters, and in freshwater fish, this is restricted ...
Allosteric modulation of human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) by zinc and copper ions and characterization of spotted sea bass MC4R
(2020-07-20)
Since the metal ions have been shown to play an important role in regulating signal transduction of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), we investigated whether the Zn2+ and Cu2+ regulate the pharmacology of human ...
Ecological Distribution of Shrews in the Cumberland Plateau of Alabama
(2015-12-14)
Shrews are small mammals that often occur in sympatry with other species of shrews.
This suggests some form of resource partitioning is occurring. I examined eight habitats in Jackson County, Alabama, and detected ...
Heat tolerance of reptile embryos in a changing world: Physiological mechanisms and ecological effects
(2020-07-09)
Aspects of global change (e.g. climate change, urbanization) create stressful thermal environments that threaten biodiversity. Oviparous, non-avian reptiles have received considerable attention because eggs are left to ...
Sickness Behavior and the Metabolic Demand of Immunity: Insight from a Live Bacterial Infection Model.
(2020-07-21)
Life-history theory states that animals have access to a finite amount of resources over their lifespan. These resources are allocated between growth, reproduction, and maintenance, and how these resources are allocated ...
Molecular, physiological, and organismal-level effects of thermal stress in corkscrew sea anemones Bartholomea annulata
(2020-07-20)
Changing ocean dynamics in the form of increasing seawater temperature are having drastic effects on the symbiotic relationships of coral reef cnidarians, causing them to bleach and die at increasing frequencies. Most ...
Assessing stress physiology of cane toads in Florida: tradeoffs with dispersal
(2021-04-08)
Physiological tradeoffs occur in organisms coping with their environments, which are likely to increase as populations reach peripheries of established ranges, potentially due to stress. Invasive species offer opportunities ...
