 | Beckerle, Mary C. | ALP-enigma protein ALP-1 functions in actin filament organization to promote muscle structural integrity in Caenorhabditis elegans | Mutations that affect the Z-disk-associated ALP-Enigma proteins have been linked to human muscular and cardiac diseases. Despite their clear physiological significance for human health, the mechanism of action of ALP-Enigma proteins is largely unknown. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the ALP-Enigma prot... | Actin; Caenorhabditis elegans; Contractility; alp-1 mutants; Z-disks; Kettin | 2009 |

 | Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Pests vs. drought as determinants of plant distribution along a tropical rainfall gradient | Understanding the mechanisms that shape the distribution of organisms can help explain patterns of local and regional biodiversity and predict the susceptibility of communities to environmental change. In the species-rich tropics, a gradient in rainfall between wet evergreen and dry seasonal forests... | Drought tolerance; Herbivory; Panama; Pathogen attack; Rainfall gradient; Tree distribution; Tropical forests | 2009 |

 | Shapiro, Michael D. | Genetic architecture of skeletal convergence and sex determination in ninespine sticklebacks | The history of life offers plentiful examples of convergent evolution, the independent derivation of similar phenotypes in distinct lineages [1]. Convergent phenotypes among closely related lineages (frequently termed "parallel" evolution) are often assumed to result from changes in similar genes or... | Convergent evolution; Skeletal convergence; Pungitius pungitius; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Comparative genetics | 2009-07 |

 | Goller, Franz | Low-dimensional dynamical model for the diversity of pressure patterns used in canary song | During song production, oscine birds produce large air sac pressure pulses. During those pulses, energy is transferred to labia located at the juncture between the bronchii and the trachea, inducing the high frequency labial oscillations which are responsible for airflow modulations, i.e., the utt... | Serinus canarias; Air sac pressure | 2009-04 |

 | Shapiro, Michael D. | Turnover of sex chromosomes in the stickleback fishes (Gastrosteidae) | Diverse sex-chromosome systems are found in vertebrates, particularly in teleost fishes, where different systems can be found in closely related species. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the rapid turnover of sex chromosomes, including the transposition of an existing sex-determination gen... | Sex determination; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Gasterosteus wheatlandi; Pungitius pungitius; Culaea inconstans; Apeltes quadracus; Gasterosteidae | 2009-02-20 |
