Coley, Phyllis D.; Lokvam, John; Kursar, Thomas A. | Divergent defensive strategies of young leaves in two species of Inga | In the recently radiated genus Inga (Fabaceae), few nucleotide substitutions have accumulated among species, yet large divergences have occurred in defensive phenotypes, suggesting strong selection by herbivores. We compared herbivory and defenses of young leaves for I. goldmanii, a more derived spe... | Bioassays; Flavanoids; Heliothis virescens; Herbivory; Inga goldmanii; Inga umbellifera; Leaf development; Non-protein amino acids; Phoebis philea | 2005 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | DNA-topoisomerase modification | The first reports of topoisomerase modification were published in 1982 and 1983 (Mills et al. 1982; Durban et al. 1983; Ferro et al. 1983; Jongstra-Bilen et al. 1983). Although a wide variety of posttranslational modifications of DNA topoisomerases may occur, this chapter focuses only on phosphoryl... | Poly(ADP-ribosylation); Serine residues | 1990 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Do rhinoviruses follow the neutral theory? The role of cross-immunity in maintaining the diversity of the common cold | Over 100 serotypes of rhinoviruses, one of the primary causes of the common cold, co-circulate in the human population. This high diversity makes it effectively impossible to develop a vaccine, even for those at risk of complications due to asthma or cystic fibrosis. | Serotypes; mutation rate; immunodominance | 2006 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Does avian malaria reduce fledging success: an experimental test of the selection hypothesis | Like many parasites, avian haematozoa are often found at lower infection intensities in older birds than young birds. One explanation, known as the "selection" hypothesis, is that infected young birds die before reaching adulthood, thus removing the highest infection intensities from the host popul... | | 2013-01-01 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Ingram, Jennifer A.; Kelly, Paul J.; Grentzmann, Guido | Dual-luciferase reporter system for studying recoding signals | A new reporter system has been developed for measuring translation coupling efficiency of recoding mechanisms such as frameshifting or readthrough. A recoding test sequence is cloned in between the renilla and firefly luciferase reporter genes and the two luciferase activities are subsequently measu... | Amino Acid Sequence; Genes, Reporter; HIV; Antizyme; Translation | 1998 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Duplication of the Hoxd11 gene causes alterations in the axial and appendicular skeleton of the mouse. | The Hox genes encode a group of transcription factors essential for proper development of the mouse. Targeted mutation of the Hoxd11 gene causes reduced male fertility, vertebral transformation, carpal bone fusions, and reductions in digit length. A duplication of the Hoxd11 gene was created with th... | Animals; Bone Development; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental | 2002-09-01 |

Goller, Franz | Dynamical origin of spectrally rich vocalizations in birdsong | Birdsong is a model system for learned vocal behavior with remarkable parallels to human vocal development and sound production mechanisms. Upper vocal tract filtering plays an important role in human speech, and its importance has recently also been recognized in birdsong.

Hultine, Kevin | Ecohydrologic significance of hydraulic redistribution in a semiarid savanna | Recent studies have illuminated the process of hydraulic redistribution, defined as the translocation of soil moisture via plant root systems, but the long-term ecohydrologic significance of this process is poorly understood.

Hultine, Kevin | Ecohydrological implications of woody plant encroachment | Increases in the abundance or density of woody plants in historically semiarid and arid grassland ecosystems have important ecological, hydrological, and socioeconomic implications. Using a simplified water-balance model, we propose a framework for conceptualizing how woody plant encroachment is li... | Carbon cycling; ecohydrology; evapotranspiration | 2005 |

Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth; Solomon, Douglas Kip | Ecohydrology in a Colorado River riparian forest: implications for the decline of Populus fremontii | Populus fremontii (Fremont cottonwood) was once a dominant species in desert riparian forests but has been increasingly replaced by the exotic invasive Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar). Interspecific competition, reduced flooding frequency, and increased salinity have been implicated in the widespre... | Populus fremontii; Decline; Colorado River; Utah; Invasive species; Riparian; Salinity; Sap flow; Tamarix ramosissima; Transpiration | 2005 |

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 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Ecological basis of coevolutionary history | Macroevolutionary patterns are difficult to interpret because they are the product of a time scale so vast that deterministic and chance events are hard to distinguish. Although the macroevolutionary history of a group can be reconstructed from extant species, determining the ecological context in ... | | 2003 |

Bowling, David R. | Ecological processes dominate the 13C land disequilibrium in a Rocky Mountain subalpine forest | Fossil fuel combustion has increased atmospheric CO2 by ≈ 115 μmol mol1 since 1750 and decreased its carbon isotope composition (δ13C) by 1.7-2‰(the 13C Suess effect). Because carbon is stored in the terrestrial biosphere for decades and longer, the δ13C of CO2 released by terrestrial ecosyst... | | 2014-01-01 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Ecological studies of neotropical ant-gardens | In a census taken in Peru's Manu National Park, 10 epiphytic angiosperms from seven plant families established principally on arboreal carton-ant nests. These "ant gardens" (AGs) were most often inhabited by parabiotic ants, Camponotus femoratus and Crematogaster cf. limata parabiotica, whose polygy... | Ant competition; Ant garden; Ant-plant interaction; Coadaptation; Epiphyte; Mutualism; Parabiosis; Preadaptation; Peru; Seed dispersal; Tropical rainforest | 1988 |

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.

Ehleringer, James R. | Ecosystem physiology responses to global change | Most ecosystems exposed to double ambient C02 show higher peak season net carbon uptake than those growing at current-ambient C02. For grasslands, above-ground biomass increased by an average of 14%, although individual responses for a given system and year range from negative to +85%.

Adler, Frederick R. | Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kinetics | Relatively 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 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | The effects of codon context on in vivo translation speed | We developed a bacterial genetic system based on translation of the his operon leader peptide gene to determine the relative speed at which the ribosome reads single or multiple codons in vivo.

Adler, Frederick R. | Effects of intraspecific density-dependence on species richness and species abundance distributions | Abstract Species richness and patterns of abundance result from the interplay between niche differences, realized as intraspecific density-dependence (IDD), and so-called neutral processes that arise when species fitnesses are similar. This paper presents an extension of neutral models that incorpo... | | 2010 |
