Mothers influence offspring body size through post-oviposition maternal effects in the redbacked salamander, Plethodon cinereus
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-01)
In the terrestrial salamander ( Plethodon cinereus ), previous work has shown that mother’s body size is positively correlated to offspring size at the time of hatching even after controlling for the effects of egg size. ...
Neonatal deafening causes changes in Fos protein induced by cochlear electrical stimulation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-05)
The influence of neonatal deafness on cochlear electrically evoked Fos expression in the auditory brainstem was examined. Newborn rats were deafened by systemic injection of kanamycin, 1 mg/g daily for 12 days. At 4, 5, 6 ...
The 13th Annual International Mammalian Genome Society Conference: A Meeting Report

CASA: An Efficient Automated Assignment of Protein Mainchain NMR Data Using an Ordered Tree Search Algorithm
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-12)
Rapid analysis of protein structure, interaction, and dynamics requires fast and automated assignments of 3D protein backbone triple-resonance NMR spectra. We introduce a new depth-first ordered tree search method of ...
Pulse-chase studies of the POMC/Beta-endorphin system in the pituitary of acutely and chronically stressed rats
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Experiments were carried out to determine whether stress induces biochemical changes in the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) system in anterior (AL) and intermediate-posterior lobe (IPL) of rat. In a series of pulse-chase ...
DNA replication defect in the Escherichia coli cgtA (ts) mutant arising from reduced DnaA levels
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-03-04)
In Escherichia coli and other bacteria, the ribosome-associated CgtA GTP-binding protein plays a critical role in many basic cellular processes, including the control of DNA replication and/or segregation. However, the ...
The relationship between perception and production in songbird vocal imitation: what learned calls can teach us
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-12)
Songbirds produce calls as well as song. This paper summarizes four studies of the zebra finch long call, used by both sexes in similar behavioral contexts. Female long calls are acoustically simpler than male long calls, ...
Effects of elevated atmospheric CO 2 on the nutritional ecology of C 3 and C 4 grass-feeding caterpillars
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-06)
It is plausible that the nutritional quality of C 3 plants will decline more under elevated atmospheric CO 2 than will the nutritional quality of C 4 plants, causing herbivorous insects to increase their feeding on C 3 ...
Identification of a copper transporter family in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-03)
Despite copper ions being crucial in proteins participating in plant processes such as electron transport, free-radical elimination and hormone perception and signaling, very little is known about copper inward transport ...
MyoD and myogenin protein expression in skeletal muscles of senile rats
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-03)
We analyzed the level of protein expression of two myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), MyoD and myogenin, in senile skeletal muscles and determined the cellular source of their production in young adult (4 months old), old ...
