Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope discrimination in the C4 shrub Atriplex confertifolia along a salinity gradient | Carbon isotope discrimination (∆) was measured for leaves of Atriplex confertifolia along a salinity gradi~ ent in northern Utah. Over this gradient, the variation of ∆ values was high for a C4 species, and the ∆ values were positively correlated with salinity in both years of the study.

Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope ratios in belowground carbon cycle processes | Analyses of carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) in soil organic matter (SOM) and soil respired CO2 provide insights into dynamics of the carbon cycle. δ13C analyses do not provide direct measures of soil CO2 efflux rates but are useful as a constraint in carbon cycle models. In many cases, δ13C analyses... | Below ground processes; Ecosystems; Carbon cycle; Carbon isotope ratio; Ecosystem processes; Global change; Soil organic carbon; Soil organic matter | 2000 |

Sekercioglu, Cagan | Causes and consequences of bird extinctions | Increased human domination of the planet has caused the declines and extinctions of countless species.

Torti, Sylvia D.; Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Causes and consequences of monodominance in tropical lowland forests | Tropical canopy dominance in lowland, well-drained forests by one plant species is a long-standing conundrum in tropical biology. Research now shows that dominance is not the result of one trait or mechanism. We suggest that the striking dominance of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei in the Ituri Forest of ... | Monodominance; Gilbertiodendron dewevrei; Ituri Forest; Understory | 2001 |

Sperry, John S. | Cavitation fatigue - the weakening of cavitation resistance of xylem and its reversibility | Xylem function is essential for the growth and survival of higher land plants. Xylem must not only be efficient under favorable conditions to facilitate high rates of stomatal conductance and carbon uptake, but it should also remain functional under drought conditions, when water potential (Ψ) dro... | Cavitation fatigue; Drought; Pit membrane | 2003 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Cecropia and its biotic defenses | In all the world, the genus Cecropia is unrivaled for the number of myrmecophytes, or true "antplants" counted among its species (McKey & Davidson, 1993).

Carter, Tony M.; Smith, Kent F. | Cell matrix methodologies for integrated circuit design | A class of integrated circuit design and implementation methodologies is described. These techniques are unique in that they simultaneously model both function and interconnect using cells. These cells are designed such that cell adjacency normally implies interconnection.

Bastiani, Michael | Cell-cell interactions during the migration of an identified commissural growth cone in the embryonic grasshopper | One of the fascicles of the posterior commissure of the embryonic grasshopper is pioneered by an individually identifiable neuron named Q1. Q1 initially grows along a longitudinal pathway established by another pioneer neuron, MPl, and then crosses to the midline, where it meets and fasciculates wi... | Commissure; Pathfinding; Filopodia | 1993 |

Gesteland, Raymond F. | Cell-free synthesis of herpes simplex virus proteins | Polyribosomes isolated from herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1)-infected cells have been used to program a eucaryotic cell-free translation system. At least 10 HSV-specific polypeptides, with apparent molecular weights of 25,000 to 160,000, are synthesized by wild-type HSV-infected polyribosomes.

Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: segmental gradients of synaptic probability and strength | The 20 stretch receptor neurons (SRs) of the crayfish abdomen send axons into the CNS that then project both to the brain and to the last abdominal ganglion, G6 (Bastiani and Mulloney, 1988). In G6, we recorded intracellularly from different kinds of neurons postsynaptic to SR axons. | Axons; Synapses; SR | 1988 |

Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: structure, variation, and postembryonic growth | Each stretch receptor neuron (SR) of the crayfish abdomen projects from its peripherally located soma an axon that enters the CNS through the second nerve (N2) of its segmental ganglion. CoZ+ backfills of N2 revealed that this axon bifurcates, sending one branch to the brain and the other to the te... | Abdomen; Axon; Ganglion | 1988 |
