Prevalence and predictability of handling effects on plants in field studies: Results from field experiments and a meta-analysis
Download2003-01-01
Brown, M., Hik, D.S., Weir, J., Dabros, A., Cahill, J.F.
Various effects on plant growth associated with handling or touching plants are well documented from greenhouse and laboratory studies, but are generally unknown or ignored under field conditions. We examined the prevalence of the effects of handling, at levels typical of many ecological...

Wilson, W.F., Lingle, S., Feldman, A., Boyce, M.S.
Variation in the temporal pattern of vulnerability can provide important insights into predator-prey relationships and the evolution of antipredator behavior. We illustrate these points with a system that has coyotes (Canis latrans) as a predator and two species of congeneric deer (Odocoileus...

Sherwood, N.M., Craig, A.G., Park, M., Powell, J.F., Carolsfeld, J., Chang, J.P., Fischer, W.H., Rivier, J.E.
The evolution of GnRH and the role of multiple forms within the brain are examined. Three forms of GnRH were purified from the brain of Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) and characterized using Edman degradation and mass spectrometry. Two forms correspond with the known structures of...

Primary structure of a novel gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the brain of a teleost, Pejerrey

Somoza, G.M., Rivier, J.E., Fischer, W.H., Park, M.K., Chang, J.P., Craig, A.G., Montaner, A.D., Sherwood, N.M.
The neuropeptide GnRH is the major regulator of reproduction in vertebrates acting as a first signal from the hypothalamus to pituitary gonadotropes. Three GnRH molecular variants were detected in the brain of a fish, pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis), using chromatographic and immunological...

An unidentified environmental reservoir of infectivity contributes to the natural transmission of prion diseases (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies [TSEs]) in sheep, deer, and elk. Prion infectivity may enter soil environments via shedding from diseased animals and decomposition of...

Proteomic analysis of opsins and thyroid hormone-induced retinal development using isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT) and mass spectrometry
Download2006
Veldhoen, Kathy M., Allison, W. Ted, Hawryshyn, Craig W.
Purpose: Analyses that reveal the relative abundance of proteins are informative in elucidating mechanisms of retinal development and disease progression. However, popular high-throughput proteomic methods do not reliably detect opsin protein abundance, which serve as markers of photoreceptor...

Proteomics indicators of the rapidly shifting physiology from whole mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), adults during early host colonization

Bohlmann, Jörg, Pitt, Caitlin, Huber, Dezene P. W. , Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Robert, Jeanne A.
We developed proteome profiles for host colonizing mountain pine beetle adults, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Adult insects were fed in pairs on fresh host lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud, phloem tissue. The proteomes of fed individuals were monitored...
