1 Adler, Frederick R.Alternating host cell tropism shapes the persistence, evolution and coexistence of Epstein-Barr virus infections in humanEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and can persist in a majority of people worldwide. Within an infected host, EBV targets two major cell types, B cells and epithelial cells, and viruses emerging from one cell type preferentially infect the other. We use mathematical models to understand why EBV infec...2011
2 Adler, Frederick R.Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kineticsRelatively little is known about the viral factors contributing to the lethality of the 1918 pandemic, although its unparalleled virulence was likely due in part to the newly discovered PB1-F2 protein. This protein, while unnecessary for replication, increases apoptosis in monocytes, alters viral po...2011

5 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical model of a three-stage innate immune response to a pneumococcal lung infectionPneumococcal 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
6 Adler, Frederick R.Plant signalling: The opportunities and dangers of chemical communicationThe notion of chemical communication between plants and other organisms has gone from being viewed as a fringe idea to an accepted ecological phenomenon only recently. An Organized Oral Session at the August 2010 Ecological Society of America meeting in Pittsburgh examined the role of plant signall...2011
7 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical modeling the age dependence of Epstein-Barr virus associated infectious mononucleosisMost people get Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at young age and are asymptomatic. Primary EBV infection in adolescents and young adults however, often leads to infectious mononucleosis (IM) with symptoms including fever, fatigue, and sore throat that can persist for months. Expansion in the numb...2011
8 Sekercioglu, CaganThe need to quantify ecosystem services provided by birdsWhat are birds worth-what is their actual dollar value to human society? To most of us in the ornithological community, birds are invaluable. But in these times we need more specific rationales to convince policy makers and business leaders to include bird conservation in land-use and development de...2011-01-01
9 Sekercioglu, CaganChewing lice (phthiraptera) species found on birds along the Aras River, lgdir, Eastern TurkeyChewing lice were sampled from the birds captured and ringed between September-October 2009 at the Aras River (Yukarı Çıyrıklı, Tuzluca, Iğdır) bird ringing station in eastern Turkey. Eighty-one bird specimens of 23 species were examined for lice infestation. All lice collected from the birds...2011-01-01
10 Sekercioglu, CaganChewing lice (phthiraptera) found on songbirds (Passeriformes) in TurkeyObjective: This study was performed to detect chewing lice species found on the songbirds at Lake Kuyucuk bird ringing station in the Kars province located in eastern Turkey. Methods: Chewing lice were collected from songbirds captured between September and October 2009. Fifty-one birds belonging t...2011-01-01
11 Sekercioglu, CaganPromoting community-based bird monitoring in the tropics: conservation, research, environmental education, capacity-building, and local incomesLong-term, locally-based biodiversity monitoring programs are essential for understanding and mitigating the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity while providing capacity-building, environmental education, and public outreach. However, these programs are lacking in most tropical countri...2011-01-01
12 Crespo, Jose GuillermoOlfactory modulation of pre-flight shivering behavior in male mothsIn nocturnal moths olfaction is the predominant sensory modality shaping many of the adult animal?s activities, including reproduction. A two-component pheromone blend is sufficient to elicit the typical zigzag upwind flight behavior in Helicoverpa zea males. However, before flight can be initiated,...thermoregulation, warm-up, flight, sex pheromone, Noctuidae, insect Department: Biology2011-01-02
13 Crespo, Jose GuillermoA review of chemosensation and related behavior in aquatic insectsInsects that are secondarily adapted to aquatic environments are able to sense odors from a diverse array of sources. The antenna of these insects, as in all insects, is the main chemosensory structure and its input to the brain allows for integration of sensory information that ultimately ends in b...2011-09-13
