Gibas, C.F.C., McGhee, D., Wang, W., Currah, R.S., Tsuneda, A
Phialocephala urceolata sp. nov. was isolated from a black film that had developed on a watersoluble proprietary heparin solution (pH 2.5). Morphological and enzymatic characters, along with phylogenetic analyses of rDNA sequence data, indicated that the conidial fungus is closely related to...

Phoretic mite associates of mountain pine beetle at the leading edge of an infestation in northwestern Alberta, Canada
Download2011
Proctor, H. C., Evenden, M. L., Mori, B. A., Walter, D. E.
Abstract: We identified species of mites phoretically associated with mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), collected from bolts of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden (Pinaceae), and pheromone-baited traps in northwestern...

Allen, D. M., Johnson, T., Allison, W. T., Hallows, T. E., Hawryshyn, C. W.
Abstract: Albino vertebrates exposed to intense light typically lose photoreceptors via apoptosis, and thus serve as useful models of retinal degeneration. In contrast, albino rainbow trout exposed to intense light maintain Populations of rod and cone nuclei despite Substantial damage to rod...

Photocycle-Dependent Emergence by Cercariae of Halipegus occidualis from Helisoma anceps, with Special Reference to Cercarial Emergence Patterns as Adaptations for Transmission.
Download1990
Emergence by cercariae of Halipegus occidualis (Hemiuridae) from naturally infected Helisoma anceps (Pulmonata) was evaluated with respect to change in temperature and light. Total cercarial emergence per snail per day increased with temperature in 2 experiments: at constant temperatures of 16,...

Sensen, C.W., Goss, G.G., Childs, S.J., Zuccolo, J., Bau, J., Deans, J.P.
Background: The MS4A gene family in humans includes CD20 (MS4A1), FcRb (MS4A2), Htm4 (MS4A3), and at least 13 other syntenic genes encoding membrane proteins, most having characteristic tetraspanning topology. Expression of MS4A genes is variable in tissues throughout the body; however, several...

Phylogenetic Congruence and Discordance among One Morphological and Three Molecular Data Sets from Pontederiaceae
Download1998
Kohn, Joshua R., Graham, Sean W., Barrett, Spencer C.H., Eckenwalder, James E., Morton, Brian R.
A morphological data set and three sources of data from the chloroplast genome (two genes and a restriction site survey) were used to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the pickerelweed family Pontederiaceae. The chloroplast data converged towards a single tree, presumably the true...

Phylogenetic diversification of Equisetum (Equisetales) as inferred from Lower Cretaceous species of British Columbia
Download2009
Stockey, Ruth A., Stanich, Nicholas A., Rothwell, Gar W.
Three types of anatomically preserved vegetative shoots with features that characterize crown group Equisetum have been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits ( ≈ 136 Ma) of British Columbia, Canada, suggesting the genus is much older than currently believed. Specimens include two types of...

Phylogenetic framework for Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) based on combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA and morphology
Download2005
Sperling, F. A. H., Du, Y., Roe, A. D.
Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller are important lepidopterous pests of conifer cones throughout the Holarctic region. Seventy-nine Dioryctria species are currently recognized and arranged into 11 species groups, but a globally unified classification of these species groups has not been...

Phylogenetic Relationships and Biogeography of Fuschia (Onagraceae) Based on Noncoding Nuclear and Chloroplast DNA Data
Download2004
Hahn, W., Mast, A.R., Hall, J.C., Berry, P.E., Sytsma, K.J.
To examine relationships and test previous sectional delimitations within Fuchsia, this study used parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses with nuclear ITS and chloroplast trnL-F and rpl16 sequence data for 37 taxa representing all sections of Fuchsia and four outgroup taxa. Results support...
