Potapov, A., Lele, S., Muirhead, J., Lewis, M., Yan, N.
We built a family of hierarchical risk models for the spread of invasions by the spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) in lakes in Ontario, Canada. Knowledge of covariates determining lake invasibility and ability to predict risk of future invasions may help to develop management policy and...

Modulation of citrate metabolism alters aluminum tolerance in yeast and transgenic canola overexpressing a mitochondrial citrate synthase
Download2003
Basu, U., Anoop, V. M., Taylor, G. J., McAlister-Henn, L., McCammon, M. T.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint for crop production in acid soils, although crop cultivars vary in their tolerance to Al. We have investigated the potential role of citrate in mediating Al tolerance in Al-sensitive yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae; MMYO11) and canola (Brassica napus...

Moisture and temperature effects on survival and infectivity of first-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei and P. tenuis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea).
Download1984
The survival of first-stage larvae (LI) of Parelaphostrongyluosd ocoilei and P. tenuis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea) and their infectivity to the snail Triodopsism ultilineata were determined experimentally in a variety of temperature and moisture conditions. Survival of larvae of P. odocoilei...

Owttrim, George W., Coleman, John R.
A recA-like gene isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis was cloned and partially characterized. When introduced into Escherichia coli recA mutants, the 7.5-kilobase-pair plasmid-borne DNA insert restored resistance to methyl methanesulfonate and UV irradiation, as well as...

Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization and brain mapping of the melanocortin 4 receptor in the goldfish: Involvement in the control of food intake
Download2003
Schioth, H.B., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E., Ringholm, A.
We report cloning, pharmacological characterization, tissue distribution, detailed brain mapping, and role in control of food intake of melanocortin 4 receptor in goldfish (gMC4R). The gMC4R protein has 68% identity with the human ortholog and is conserved in important functional domains....

A few major discoveries have influenced how ecologists and evolutionists study microbes. Here, in the format of an interview, we answer questions that directly relate to how these discoveries are perceived in these two branches of microbiology, and how they have impacted on both scientific...

Molecular Phylogeny Within and Between Species of the Archips argyrospila Complex ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae )
Download2001
Sperling, F. A. H., Kruse, J. J.
Abstract: The Archips argyrospila complex consists of a series of morphologically indistinct populations with a confusing array of pheromone and host types. No phylogenetic studies on the genus Archips or any of its species groups have previously been published. We examined DNA variation in a 475...

Molecular phylogeny, historical biogeography, and divergence time estimates for swallowtail butterflies of the genus Papilio (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
Download2004
Sperling, F.A.H., Zakharov, E.V., Caterino, M.S.
Swallowtail butterflies are recognized as model organisms in ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and conservation biology but present numerous unresolved phylogenetic problems. We inferred phylogenetic relationships for 51 of about 205 species of the genus Papilio (sensu lato) from...

Monodictys arctica, a new hyphomycete from the roots of Saxifraga oppositifolia collected in the Canadian High Arctic
Download2006
Currah, R. S., Fujimura, K. N., Egger, K. N., Day, M. J., Gibas, C. F. C.
Abstract: Monodictys arctica sp. nov. is described on the basis of nine isolates obtained from the roots of eight separate collections of Saxifraga oppositifolia from Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. Conidia are multicelled, smooth, darkly pigmented, and globose, oblong, ellipsoidal, or...
