A Polyphasic Perspective on Escherichia coli Niche-Specificity: The Characterization of Naturalized, Wastewater-Specific E. coli and the Emergence of Wastewater Treatment Resistance in the Microbial World
DownloadFall 2024
Although typically considered to be capable of colonizing and transiting between several different niches, evidence suggests that the Escherichia coli species exhibits a significant degree of host- and niche-specificity. This has led to the hypothesis that E. coli taxonomy may be more...

The endomembrane system is one of the hallmark features of all eukaryotes that distinguishes them from prokaryotes. Compared to bacteria and archaea, eukaryotic cells consist of biochemically and functionally distinct membranous compartments such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus,...

Abdominal contents from two large Early Cretaceous compsognathids (Dinosauria: Theropoda) demonstrate feeding on confuciusornithids and dromaeosaurids
Download2012
Xing, L., Ji, S., Persons, W. S., Bell, P. R., Ji, Q., Miyashita, T., Currie, P. J., Burns, M. E.
Two skeletons of the large compsognathid Sinocalliopteryx gigas include intact abdominal contents. Both specimens come from the Jianshangou Beds of the lower Yixian Formation (Neocomian), Liaoning, China. The holotype of S. gigas preserves a partial dromaeosaurid leg in the abdominal cavity, here...

Analyzing taphonomic deformation of ankylosaur skulls using retrodeformation and finite element analysis
Download2012
Taphonomic deformation can make the interpretation of vertebrate fossil morphology difficult. The effects of taphonomic deformation are investigated in two ankylosaurid dinosaur taxa, Euoplocephalus tutus (to investigate effects on our understanding of intraspecific variation) and Minotaurasaurus...

Fall 2019
Here I describe new oviraptorosaur specimens and add to our knowledge of the anatomy, growth, behaviour, ecology, and evolution of oviraptorosaurs. Oviraptorosaurs were a diverse group of theropods known from a long history of discovery and a relatively abundant fossil record. Most analyses...

A repetitive element of approximately 200 bp was cloned from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina concolour) genomic DNA. The sequence of the element revealed putative RNA polymerase III control boxes, a poly A tail and direct terminal repeats characteristic of SINEs. Sequence and secondary structural...

Carotenoid diversity in novel Hymenobacter strains isolated from Victoria Upper Glacier, Antarctica, and implications for the evolution of microbial carotenoid biosynthesis
DownloadFall 2009
Many diverse microbes have been detected in or isolated from glaciers, including novel taxa exhibiting previously unrecognized physiological properties with significant biotechnological potential. Of 29 unique phylotypes isolated from Victoria Upper Glacier, Antarctica (VUG), 12 were related to...

1994
Individualists claim that wide explanations in psychology are problematic. I argue that wide psychological explanations sometimes have greater explanatory power than individualistic explanations. The aspects of explanatory power I focus on are causal depth and theoretical appropriateness....

Comparative Analysis of the Anatomy of the Myxinoidea and the Ancestry of Early Vertebrate Lineages
DownloadFall 2012
The question of whether a hagfish is a true vertebrate or not has profound implications about the ancestry of the clade. New anatomical evidence allows a test of their systematic position. With dissections and serial sections of original specimens, and with a literature review, a comparative...
