Ehleringer, James R. | Orientation and slope preference in barrel cactus (Ferocactus acanthodes) at its northern distribution limit | Microsite distribution and diurnal tissue temperature fluctuations were measured in Ferocactus acanthodes (barrel cactus) at its northern distribution limit in the Beaver Dam Mountains of southwestern Utah. At this location, barrel cacti were limited to south-facing slopes. Orientation (azimuth an... | Ferocactus acanthodes; Barrel cactus; Slope preference | 1984 |

Davidson, Diane W.; Rickart, Eric Allan; Keiter, Robert B. | Selecting wilderness areas to conserve Utah's biological diversity | Congress is currently evaluating the wilderness status of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands in Utah. Wilderness areas play many important roles, and one critical role is the conservation of biological diversity. | Bureau of Land Management; Conservation; Endemic species; Exotic species; Cryptobiotic soils; Plants; Bees; Vertebrates | 1996 |

Adler, Frederick R.; Carrier, David R. | Interaction between the X chromosome and an autosome regulates size sexual dimorphism in Portuguese Water Dogs | Size sexual dimorphism occurs in almost all mammals. In Portuguese Water Dogs, much of the difference in skeletal size between females and males is due to the interaction between a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) on the X-chromosome and a QTL linked to Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) on the CFA... | Phenotypes; QTL; Selection | 2005 |

Coley, Phyllis D. | On tropical forests and their pests | Biologists have long been intrigued by the diversity of tropical forests, where 1 hectare may hold more than 650 tree species-more than in all of Canada and the continental United States. Eco- logical theory suggests that if species are too similar in their resource use, one will out- compete the ot... | 2014-01-01 | |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Transfer of Cyphomandra (Solanaceae) and its species to Solanum | Data from recent molecular studies demonstrate that the genus Cyphomandra is nested within Solanum. Recognition of Cyphomandra as a separate genus therefore is not tenable unless Solanum is broken up into smaller monophyletic units. All Cyphomandra species are transferred to Solanum, necessitating t... | Cyphomandra; Solanum | 1995 |

Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth | Ecophysiology of riparian cottonwood and willow before, during, and after two years of soil water removal | Riparian cottonwood/willow forest assemblages are highly valued in the southwestern United States for their wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and watershed protection. Yet these forests are under considerable threat from climate change impacts on water resources and land-use activities to support hum... | Riparian cottonwood; Riparian willow; Soil water removal; Coyote willow; Drought recovery; Populus fremontii; Riparian ecology; Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area; Salix exigua; Stem sap flux; Leaf carbon isotope ratios | 2010 |

Potts, Wayne K.; Granger, Donald Lee | Major histocompatibility complex-dependent susceptibility to Cryptococcus neoformans in mice | To evaluate the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in the resistance to Cryptococcus neoformans, we conducted infection experiments in MHC-congenic strains of mice. Significant MHC-dependent susceptibility differences were found among homozygotes and heterozygotes. This study is th... | MHC-congenic; Host resistance; Infection | 2003 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Systematics of Solanum section Allophyllum (Solanaceae) | Three species of Solarium are included in a new section, Solarium sect. Allophyllum. Two of the species, S. allophyllum and S. mapiriense, have been previously known; the third, S. morellifolium Bohs, is described as new. The combination of characters exhibited by members of this section, such as un... | Solanum section Allophyllum; Solanum allophyllum; Solanum morellifolium; Solanum mapiriense | 1990 |

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; tmRNA | 1997 |

Ehleringer, James R.; Negus, Norman C. | Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area: history, flora, geology, climate, and ecology | Red Butte Canyon is a protected, near pristine canyon entering Salt Lake Valley, Utah. It contains a well-developed riparian zone and a perennial stream; hillside vegetation ranges from grasslands on the lower limits to Douglas-fir and aspen stands at the upper elevations. In this paper we describe ... | Intermountain West; Grassland; Oak-maple; Plant adaptation; Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area; Human impact | 1992 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Mathematical model of a three-stage innate immune response to a pneumococcal lung infection | Pneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mat... | 2011 | |

Adler, Frederick R. | Long-term models of oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage in insulin resistance progression | Insulin resistance, characterized by a reduced cellular response to insulin, is a major factor in type 2 diabetes pathogenesis, with a complex etiology consisting of a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Oxidative stress, which develops through an accumulation of toxic reactive oxygen ... | 2014-01-01 | |

Seger, Jon; Davidson, Diane W. | Biological richness of deserts | A desert is "waterless," "treeless," "barren," "remote," "uninteresting," and "presumably uninhabited," according to the authoritative Oxford English Dictionary. The word is derived from deserere, a Latin verb meaning "to leave." In English, to desert is still to "abandon," "forsake," or "fail." Bec... | Desert life; Desert biodiversity | 1995 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | New species of Solanum and Capsicum (Solanaceae) from Bolivia, with clarification of nomenclature in some Bolivian Solanum | Bolivian floristic diversity is high, reflecting its great topographic and habitat diversity. Habitats in Bolivia range from seasonally flooded savannas to arid Chaco and high elevation deserts to hyper-humid montane and lowland rainforests. | Capsicum; Solanum; Bolivia; Biodiversity | 2006 |

Porque los herbivoros prefrieren ciertas especies? | Patterns of heitmory and plant defenses arc presented lor 47 tree species studied on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Species growing In comparable microhabitats differ in the rates of herbivore damage by 4 orderi of magnitude. Over 70%QT these between-specles differences in herbivory can be explaine... | 1987 | |

Farmer, Colleen G. | Right-to-left shunt of crocodilians serves digestion | All amniotes except birds and mammals have the ability to shunt blood past the lungs, hut the physiological function of this ability is poorly understood. We studied the role of the shunt in digestion in juvenile American alligators in the following ways. First, we characterized the shunt in fasting... | Postprandial; Alligators; Gastrointestinal | 2008 |
