Using 3D printed eggs to examine the egg-rejection behaviour of wild birds
(5/26/2015)
The coevolutionary relationships between brood parasites and their hosts are often studied by examining the egg rejection behaviour of host species using artificial eggs. However, the traditional methods for producing ...

Metazoans of redoxcline sediments in Mediterranean deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins
(2015)
The deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) of the Mediterranean (water depth similar to 3500 m) are some of the most extreme oceanic habitats known. Brines of DHABs are nearly saturated with salt, leading many to suspect ...
Estimating relative risk of within-lake aquatic plant invasion using combined measures of recreational boater movement and habitat suitability
(3/19/2015)
Effective monitoring, prevention and impact mitigation of nonindigenous aquatic species relies upon the ability to predict dispersal pathways and receiving habitats with the greatest risk of establishment. To examine ...
Context-Specific Comparison of Sleep Acquisition Systems in Drosophila
(11/15/2015)
Skip to Next Section Sleep is conserved across phyla and can be measured through electrophysiological or behavioral characteristics. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, provides an excellent model for investigating the ...
Global weather and local butterflies: variable responses to a large-scale climate pattern along an elevational gradient
(2015)
Understanding the spatial and temporal scales at which environmental variation affects populations of plants and animals is an important goal for modern population biology, especially in the context of shifting climatic ...
Successful survival, growth, and reproductive potential of quagga mussels in low calcium lake water: is there uncertainty of establishment risk?
(2015)
The risk of quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis Andrusov 1897) establishment into water-bodies of the western US has expanded the geographic concern regarding the ecological and economic impacts this species ...
Genetic Tools for the Analysis of Drosophila Stomatogastric Nervous System Development
(2015)
The Drosophila stomatogastric nervous system (SNS) is a compact collection of neurons that arises from the migration of neural precursors. Here we describe genetic tools allowing functional analysis of the SNS during the ...
Enhanced Sleep Is an Evolutionarily Adaptive Response to Starvation Stress in Drosophila
(2015)
Animals maximize fitness by modulating sleep and foraging strategies in response to changes in nutrient availability. Wild populations of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, display highly variable levels of starvation ...
Characterizing the Diverse Mutational Pathways Associated with R5-Tropic Maraviroc Resistance: HIV-1 That Uses the Drug-Bound CCR5 Coreceptor
(2015)
Entry inhibitors represent a potent class of antiretroviral drugs that target a host cell protein, CCR5, an HIV-1 entry coreceptor, and not viral protein. Lack of sensitivity can occur due to preexisting virus that uses ...
