5 Clayton, Dale H.; Rogers, Alan R.Genetic analysis of lice supports direct contact between modern and archaic humansParasites can be used as unique markers to investigate host evolutionary history, independent of host data. Here we show that modern human head lice, Pediculus humanus, are composed of two ancient lineages, whose origin predates modern Homo sapiens by an order of magnitude (ca. 1.18 million years).Pediculus humanus; Head lice; Molecular phylogeny; Phthirus2004
6 Ehleringer, James R.Bayesian integration of isotope ratio for geographic sourcing of castor beansRecent years have seen an increase in the forensic interest associated with the poison ricin, which is extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.

7 Bohs, Lynn A.Major clades in Solanum based on ndhF sequence dataAnalysis of sequence data from the chloropiast gene ndhF identifies at least 12 major well-supported clades within the genus Solanum. These are briefly described, given informal clade names, and compared with the groups recognized by previous Solanum workers. Non-molecular synapomorphies are propos...Solanum; ndhF2005
8 Bohs, Lynn A.Phylogenetic relationships among the "spiny solanums" (Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae)Species of Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum comprise almost one third of the genus and are distributed worldwide. Members of this group are defined by their sharp epidermal prickles; thus, they are commonly referred to as the ˜spiny solanums." This subgenus includes a number of economically important...Granule-bound starch synthase gene; GBSSI; Heterandry; ITS; Leptostemonum; Solanum; trnS-trnG; Waxy2006

11 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Felden, Brice; McCutcheon, John P.Probing the structure of the Escherichia coli 10Sa RNA (tmRNA)The conformation of the Escherichia coli 10Sa RNA (tmRNA) in solution was investigated using chemical and enzymatic probes. Single- and double-stranded domains were identified by hydrolysis of tmRNA in imidazole buffer and by lead(II)-induced cleavages. Ribonucleases T1 and S1 were used to map unpai...Covariation; Pseudoknot; Structural Probing; 10Sa RNA; tmRNA1997
12 Rogers, Alan R.How much can fossils tell us about regional continuity?Presents a study on the genetic contribution of earlier populations to later populations within regions called regional continuity.

13 Bohs, Lynn A.Three-gene phylogeny of the genus Solanum (Solanaceae)Solanum, with approximately 1,500 species, is the largest genus in the Solanaceae and includes economically important species such as the tomato, potato, and eggplant. In part due to its large size and tropical center of diversity, resolving evolutionary relationships across Solanum as a whole has ...ndhF; trnT-F; Waxy; Solanum; Cyphomandra2007
14 Sekercioglu, CaganMapping functional traits: comparing bundance and presence-absence estimates at large spatial scalesEfforts to quantify the composition of biological communities increasingly focus on functional traits. The composition of communities in terms of traits can be summarized in several ways. Ecologists are beginning to map the geographic distribution of trait-based metrics from various sources of data,...2012-01-01
15 Adler, Frederick R.; Jackson, Brian Richard; Carroll, Karen C.; Samore, Matthew H.Use of strain typing data to estimate bacterial transmission rates in healthcare settingsOBJECTIVE: To create an affordable and accurate method for continuously monitoring bacterial transmission rates in healthcare settings.

19 Clayton, Dale H.Testing species limits of non-echolocating Philippine swiftlets (Collocalia spp.) using molecular genetic dataSwiftlets are small, insectivorous birds that are distributed from the Indian Ocean, through southeast Asia and north Australia, to the Pacific. About 22 species of swiflets nest in caves or other dark places, where they navigate using a crude form of echolocation (Chantler and Driessens 1995). Thr...2000
20 Adler, Frederick R.Role of heterogeneity in the persistence and prevalence of sin nombre virus in deer miceMany diseases persist at a relatively low prevalence, seemingly close to extinction. For a chronic disease in a homogeneous population, reducing the transmission rate by a fraction proportional to the prevalence would be sufficient to eradicate the disease. This study examines how higher prevalence ...Transmission; Survivorship; Seropositivity2008
21 Adler, Frederick R.Reply:We appreciate the comments of Drs. Craig and Simpson and Drs. Mullins and Schwartz, and the challenge they raise to make MALD more believable, comprehensible, and usable. Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity is indeed a complex process involving multiple steps. Although the underlying mathematics is more i...2012-01-01

25 Goller, FranzExperimental support for a model of birdsong productionIn this work we present an experimental validation of a recently proposed model for the production of birdsongs. We have previously observed that driving the model with simple functions of time, which represent tensions in vocal muscles, produces a wide variety of sounds resembling birdsongs. In th...Vocal; Muscles; Syrinx2003
