The effect of mean and variance in resource supply on survival of annuals from Mediterranean and desert environments
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-10)
Resource availability is often characterized by mean annual amounts, while ignoring the spatial variation within habitats and the temporal variation within a year. Yet, temporal and spatial variation may be especially ...
Expression of Treponema denticola Oligopeptidase B in Escherichia coli
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2004-05)
Treponema denticola is a small anaerobic spirochete often isolated from periodontal lesions and closely associated with periodontal diseases. This bacterium possesses a particular arginine peptidase activity (previously ...
Performance of a generalist grasshopper on a C 3 and a C 4 grass: compensation for the effects of elevated CO 2 on plant nutritional quality
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-06)
The increasing CO 2 concentration in Earth’s atmosphere is expected to cause a greater decline in the nutritional quality of C 3 than C 4 plants. As a compensatory response, herbivorous insects may increase their feeding ...
Letter to the Editor: The C-terminal Domain of Viral IAP Associated Factor (cVIAF) is a Structural Homologue of Phosducin: Resonance Assignments and Secondary Structure of the C-Terminal Domain of VIAF
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-02)
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. ...
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 ...
Chromosome Walking in the Petunia Inflata Self-Incompatibility ( S -) Locus and Gene Identification in an 881-kb Contig Containing S 2 -RNase
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
Self-incompatibility (SI) in the Solanaceae, Rosaceae and Scrophulariaceae is controlled by the polymorphic S locus, which contains two separate genes encoding pollen and pistil determinants in SI interactions. The S-RNase ...
Phylogenetic analysis of the lux operon distinguishes two evolutionarily distinct clades of Photobacterium leiognathi
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-05)
The luminous marine bacterium Photobacterium mandapamensis was synonymized several years ago with Photobacterium leiognathi based on a high degree of phenotypic and genetic similarity. To test the possibility that P. ...
Impacts of major predators on tropical agroforest arthropods: comparisons within and across taxa
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-06)
In food web studies, taxonomically unrelated predators are often grouped into trophic levels regardless of their relative importance on prey assemblages, multiple predator effects, or interactions such as omnivory. Ants ...
Three ENU-induced neurological mutations in the pore loopof sodium channel Scn8a (Na v 1.6) and a genetically linkedretinal mutation, rd13
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-05)
The goal of The Jackson Laboratory Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility is to generate mouse models of human neurological disease. We describe three new models obtained from a three-generation screen for recessive mutations. ...
