Stochastic models for cell motion and taxis
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2004-01)
Certain biological experiments investigating cell motion result in time lapse video microscopy data which may be modeled using stochastic differential equations. These models suggest statistics for quantifying experimental ...
Microhabitat associations and seedling bank dynamics in a neotropical forest
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We conducted a rigorous test of tropical tree seedling microhabitat differentiation by examining microhabitat associations, survival and growth of established seedlings of ten tropical tree species representing a four-factor ...
Building sensory receptors on the tongue
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2004-12)
Neurotrophins, neurotrophin receptors and sensory neurons are required for the development of lingual sense organs. For example, neurotrophin 3 sustains lingual somatosensory neurons. In the traditional view, sensory axons ...
A growth/mortality trade-off in larval salamanders and the coexistence of intraguild predators and prey
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-01)
Behavioral and morphological traits often influence a key trade-off between resource acquisition and vulnerability to predation, and understanding trait differences between species can provide critical insight into their ...
Allelic mutations of the sodium channel SCN8A reveal multiple cellular and physiological functions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
Allelic mutations of Scn8a in the mouse have revealed the range of neurological disorders that can result from alternations of one neuronal sodium channel. Null mutations produce the most severe phenotype, with motor neuron ...
