Disruption of a belowground mutualism alters interactions between plants and their floral visitors
Download2008-01-01
Cahill, J. F., Shore, B. H., Smith, G. R., Elle, E.
Plants engage in diverse and intimate interactions with unrelated taxa. For example, aboveground. oral visitors provide pollination services, while belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance nutrient capture. Traditionally in ecology, these processes were studied in isolation,...

Distinguishing angiophytes from the earliest angiosperms: A Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian-Hauterivian) fruit-like reproductive structure
Download2009
A remarkably diverse Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian-Hauterivian) fl ora at Apple Bay, Vancouver Island, preserves seed plants at an important time of fl oristic evolutionary transition, about the same time as the earliest fl owering plant megafossils. The fossils are permineralized in carbonate...

Distribution and first reports of Branchiobdellida (Annelida: Clitellata) on crayfish in the prairie provinces of Canada
Download2009
Gelder, S. R., Williams, B. W., Proctor, H. C.
ABSTRACT.—Orconectes virilis (northern crayfish) were collected from 67 sites in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and far-western Ontario, Canada, and yielded 2 species of branchiobdellidans, Cambarincola vitreus and Cambarincola chirocephalus. This is the first report of branchiobdellidans in...

Distribution of entocytheridae (Crustacea: Ostracoda) in the northern prairies of north america and reports of opportunistic clitellate annelids on crayfish hosts.
Download2011
Williams, B. W., Williams, K. L., Gelder, S. R., Proctor, H. C.
ABSTRACT.—Northern crayfish, Orconectes virilis (Hagen, 1870), were collected from 89 sites across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The entocytherid ostracod Thermastrocythere riojai (Hoff, 1943) was found on O. virilis at 45 of the 89 sites, distributed...

Divergent genes for translation inition factor elF-4A are coordinately expressed in tobacco
Download1991
Kuhlemeir, Cris, Holfmann, Sylvia, Owtrim, George W.
Three cDNA clones coding for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A, elF-4A, were isolated from a Nicotiana plumbaginifolia root cDNA library by heterologous screening. The clones comprise two distinct gene classes as two clones are highly similar while the third is divergent. The genes...

Diversity among taxodiaceous conifers: Metasequoia foxii sp. nov. from the Paleocene of central Alberta, Canada.
Download2001
Falder, A.B., Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W.
A single species of taxodioid conifers is among the dominant floristic elements at two stratigraphically contemporaneous Paleocene fossil localities in central Alberta, Canada. More than 10,000 compression specimens, including oppositely branched stems, vegetative shoots with decussately arranged...

Ki, Jang-Seu, Qian, Pei-Yuan, Huang, Yi-Li, Case, Rebecca J.
Bacteria isolated from subtidal biofilms were identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and screened for acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) production. In total, 68 strains were isolated from 1 to 9 d-old subtidal biofilms developed at a coastal fish farm. Identification based on partial 16S rRNA gene...

Rempe, Caroline S , Stewart, C Neal , Melhonian, Michael , Wong, Gane Ka-Shu , Staton, Margaret E , Lane, Thomas S Lane, Deyholos, Michael , Peng, Yanhui , Davitt, Jack , Soltis, Douglas Edward
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter gene superfamily is ubiquitous among extant organisms and prominently represented in plants. ABC transporters act to transport compounds across cellular membranes and are involved in a diverse range of biological processes. Thus, the applicability to...
