301 Goller, FranzInspiratory muscle activity during singing in zebra finches and cowbirdsSinging is produced by an intricate coordination of vocal (syringeal) and respiratory muscles. Expiratory muscle activity is associated with the production of notes and syllables, which are separated by silent intervals, negative air sac pressure, and inspiratory air flow. In order to study the mus...Minibreath; Expiration; Inspiration1997
302 Farmer, Colleen G.; Carrier, David R.Integration of ventilation and locomotion in archosaursMovements of the pelvis have recently been found to contribute to ventilation in both crocodilians and birds. Alligators have a kinetic pelvis in which the ischiopubic and ischiotruncus muscles rotate the pubic bones ventrally to increase abdominal volume and thereby facilitate inspiration. In birds...Archosaurs; Theropods; Integration; Ventilation; Pelvic aspiration; Cuirassal breathing2000
303 Beckerle, Mary C.; Clark, Kathleen A.Integrin effector PINCH regulates JNK activity and epithelial migration in concert with Ras suppressor 1Cell adhesion and migration are dynamic pro- cesses requiring the coordinated action of multiple signaling pathways, but the mechanisms underlying signal integration have remained elusive. Drosophila embryonic dorsal closure (DC) requires both integrin function and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) ...Epithelial sheets; PINCH2004
304 Sperry, John S.Inter-tracheid pitting and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood: the role of tracheid allometry and cavitation protectionPlant xylem must balance efficient delivery of water to the canopy against protection from air entry into the conduits via air-seeding. We investigated the relationship between tracheid allometry, end wall pitting, safety from air-seeding, and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood in order to bet...Allometry; Araucariaceae; cavitation2006
305 Adler, Frederick R.; Carrier, David R.Interaction between the X chromosome and an autosome regulates size sexual dimorphism in Portuguese Water DogsSize 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; Selection2005
306 Beckerle, Mary C.Interaction between zyxin and α-actininZyxin is an 82-kD protein first identified as a component of adhesion plaques and the termini of stress fibers near where they associate with the cytoplasmic face of the adhesive membrane. We report here that zyxin interacts with the actin cross-linking protein α-actinin.Zyxin; Actinin; Actin1992
307 Bowling, David R.Interannual variation in seasonal drivers of soil respiration in a semi-arid Rocky Mountain meadowSemi-arid ecosystems with annual moisture inputs dominated by snowmelt cover much of the western United States, and a better understanding of their seasonal drivers of soil respiration is needed to predict consequences of climatic change on soil CO2 efflux. We assessed the relative importance of tem...2012-01-01

309 Ehleringer, James R.Interspecific competition and resource pulse utilization in a cold desert communityIn desert ecosystems a large proportion of water and nitrogen is supplied in rain-induced pulses. It has been suggested that competitive interactions among desert plants would be most intense during these pulse periods of high resource availability. We tested this hypothesis with three cold desert s...Atriplex confertifolia; Chrysothamnus nauseosus; Colorado Plateau; desert; Gutierrezia sarothrae; Neighbor removal; Plant competition; Resource pulses; Pulse utilization; Stable isotopes; Water uptake2002
310 Ehleringer, James R.Intra- and interspecific variation for summer precipitation use in pinyon-juniper woodlandsIn the arid southwest of North America, winter precipitation penetrates to deep soil layers, whereas summer"monsoon" precipitation generally wets only surface layers. Use of these spatially separated water sources was determined for three dominant tree species of the pinyon-juniper ecosystem at six ...D/H ratios; Juniperus osteosperma; Pinus edulis; pinyon-juniper ecosystem; plant water sources; precipitation use; Quercus gambelii; roots; Photosynthetic gas exchange; Monsoon2000
311 Seger, JonIntraspecific resource competition as a cause of sympatric speciation[In most models of speciation], the fitness value of an animal is determined by the genotype it has, and the habitat in which it lives. In a more realistic model it should also depend on how much necessary resource is available for the animal and the competition from other genotypes for this resourc...Phenotype; Models; Species1985
312 Coley, Phyllis D.Intraspecific variation in herbivory on two tropical tree speciesLevels of herbivory on young and mature leaves were determined for two tree species, Trichilia cipo (Meliaceae) and Cecropia insignis (Moraceae), in a lowland rain forest of Panama. Saplings of both species were studied in light gaps, and in addition, Trichilia was studied in the understory.Cecropia insignis; Trichilia cipo; Herbivory; Intraspecific variation; Panama; Temporal distribution; Treefall gaps; Tropical forest; Understory1983
313 Mansour, Suzanne L.; Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R.Introduction of a lacZ reporter gene into the mouse int-2 locus by homologous recombination.We demonstrate that the frequency of gene targeting is unaffected by the length of nonhomologous DNA transferred to a target chromosomal sequence. A result of this finding is that a much wider spectrum of designed genomic alterations is now feasible. As a first application, we inserted a 5.4-kilobas...Blotting, Southern; Cell Differentiation; Fluorescent Antibody Technique; Restriction Mapping1990-10
314 Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R.Introduction of homologous DNA sequences into mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate gene.Injection of homologous DNA sequences into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate chromosomal gene. It appears that these mutations result from incorrect repair of a heteroduplex formed between the introduced and the chromosomal sequence. This phenomenon is termed 'heter...Animals; Cell Line; Drug Resistance, Microbial; Fibroblasts; Mice; Models, Genetic; Neomycin; Plasmids1986-11-06
315 Capecchi, Mario R.Introduction: the molecular genetic analysis of mouse developmentThis paper is an introduction of seven different papers presented in "Seminars in developmental biology" on Molecular Genetic Analysis of Mouse Development .

316 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William RobertInvertebrate vasopressin/oxytocin homologs: characterization of peptides from Conus geographus and Conus striatus venomsThe vasopressin-oxytocin family of peptides is of very ancient lineage, found in organisms as diverse as hydra and man. Although these peptides have been intensively studied in vertebrates, the presumably more extensive invertebrate series was defined primarily by immunological methods. In this repo...Conus geographus; Conus striatus; Venom; Conotoxins; Neurotoxins; Postsynaptic inhibition; Vasopressin-oxytocin peptides; Conopressin1987
317 Clayton, Dale H.; Bush, Sarah ElizabethIs melanin a defense against feather-feeding lice?The adaptive basis of plumage color has received much attention, including the finding that color can reveal information about parasite loads to potential mates. A related possibility, that color may be a direct defense against parasites, has received less attention.Columba livia; Columbiformes; Ectoparasites; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes compare; Plumage color; Eumelanin; Preening2006
318 Adler, Frederick R.Is space necessary? Interference competition and limits to biodiversityA single trade-off between competitive ability and mortality has been shown to support an arbitrarily large number of species in models of interference competition in spatially structured populations. We show that this results not from spatial structure, but instead from the assumption that a small ...Mortality rate; Competitive ability; Seed size2000
