Seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations
(2019)
Species interactions have long been predicted to increase in intensity toward the tropics and low elevations because of gradients in climate, productivity, or biodiversity. Despite their importance for understanding global ...
Elav-Mediated Exon Skipping and Alternative Polyadenylation of the Dscam1 Gene Are Required for Axon Outgrowth
(2019)
Many metazoan genes express alternative long 3' UTR isoforms in the nervous system, but their functions remain largely unclear. In Drosophila melanogaster, the Dscam1 gene generates short and long (Dscam1-L) 3' UTR isoforms ...
The wind dancer
(2019)
Thus, these caterpillars also engage in behavioral crypsis. When disturbed, the caterpillar sways slowly from side to side on two prominent prolegs, mimicking a leaf wavering in the breeze. If predation shaped the natural ...
What lies beneath? Molecular evolution during the radiation of caecilian amphibians
(2019)
Evolution leaves an imprint in species through genetic change. At the molecular level, evolutionary changes can be explored by studying ratios of nucleotide substitutions. The interplay among molecular evolution, derived ...
Impacts of growing-season climate on tree growth and post-fire regeneration in ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forests
(2019)
We studied the impacts of climate variability on low-elevation forests in the U.S. northern Rocky Mountains by quantifying how post-fire tree regeneration and radial growth varied with growing-season climate. We reconstructed ...
The genetic legacy of 50 years of desert bighorn sheep translocations
(2019)
Conservation biologists have increasingly used translocations to mitigate population declines and restore locally extirpated populations. Genetic data can guide the selection of source populations for translocations and ...
Hierarchical multi-population viability analysis
(2019)
Population viability analysis (PVA) uses concepts from theoretical ecology to provide a powerful tool for quantitative estimates of population dynamics and extinction risks. However, conventional statistical PVA requires ...
Fully automated sequence alignment methods are comparable to, and much faster than, traditional methods in large data sets: an example with hepatitis B virus
(2019)
Aligning sequences for phylogenetic analysis (multiple sequence alignment
Thermal Benefits From White Variegation of Silybum marianum Leaves
(2019)
Leaves of the spiny winter annual Silybum marianum express white patches (variegation) that can cover significant surface areas, the outcome of air spaces formed between the epidermis and the green chlorenchyma. We asked: ...
An Ecological Function Approach to Managing Harmful Cyanobacteria in Three Oregon Lakes: Beyond Water Quality Advisories and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
(2019)
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) uses Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) calculations, and the associated regulatory process, to manage harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) attributable to non-point ...
