 | Ehleringer, James R. ; Cerling, Thure E. | Aberrant water homeostasis detected by stable isotope analysis | While isotopes are frequently used as tracers in investigations of disease physiology (i.e., 14C labeled glucose), few studies have examined the impact that disease, and disease-related alterations in metabolism, may have on stable isotope ratios at natural abundance levels. The isotopic composition... | 2010-07-21 | |

 | Clayton, Dale H. | Ecoimmunity in Darwin's finches: invasive parasites trigger acquired immunity in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) | Invasive parasites pose a serious threat to native animal populations, because hosts with no history of exposure may lack effective immune defenses. Invasive parasites are a particular threat to small, island populations [1,2]. For example, introduced malaria (Plasmodium relictum) has exacerbated t... | Darwins finches; Ecoimmunity; Acquired immunity; Medium ground finch; Geospiza fortis; Invasive parasites; Novel parasites; Poxvirus avium; Nest flies; Philornis downsi | 2010-01-06 |

 | Jarrard, Richard D. | Exceptionally preserved jellyfishes from the Middle Cambrian | Cnidarians represent an early diverging animal group and thus insight into their origin and diversification is key to understanding metazoan evolution. Further, cnidarian jellyfish comprise an important component of modern marine planktonic ecosystems. Here we report on exceptionally preserved cnida... | Jellyfishes; metazoan evolution; jellyfish fossils; marjum formation; Utah; middle cambrian | 2007-10-31 |
