Leg size affects male mating success in Tarsonemus confusus Ewing (Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae)
Download1997
Belczewski, R., Garga, N., Proctor, H.
Legs IV of males in the family Tarsonemidae are highly modified to form thickened pincer-like appendages. Previous literature describes males using legs IV both to manipulate pharate females onto the males' genital capsule as well as to constrain the adult female's legs during mating. We observed...

Leptographium piriforme sp. nov., from a Taxonomically Diverse Collection of Arthropods Collected in an Aspen-Dominated Forest in Western Canada
Download2006
Currah, Randolph S., Gibas, Connie Fe C., Greif, Matthew D.
During a survey of fungi associated with arthropods collected in a southern boreal mixedwood forest in Alberta we obtained 29 isolates of a unique species of Leptographium. This species displayed a distinct combination of characteristics, including curved conidia on short-stipitate conidiophores,...

Inflectional morphology presents numerous problems for traditional computational models, not least of which is an increase in the number of rare types in any corpus. Although few annotated corpora exist for morphologically complex languages, it is possible for lay-speakers of the language to...

Modification of pulse starch properties by nanoparticulation and phosphorylation techniques
DownloadFall 2021
The global demand for plant-based protein is fast growing. This has resulted in significant expansion of pulse grain fractionation and value-added processing operations that primarily focus on protein refining. Pulse starches, as the major by-product of those operations, remain underutilized...

Investigations of morphological impairment in aphasia have revealed that patients may retain knowledge of a word’s morphological status even when they cannot access that word (Delazer & Semenza, 1998). In addition, aphasiological investigations have shown that more errors are produced with...

I investigated the paired sternum V glands in thirty-eight trichopteran families and all lepidopteran families possessing the gland or associated structures. Using my morphological data and literature data on sternum V gland secretions, I examined phylogenetic trends in morphology and gland...

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...

Melim, Leslie A., Northup. Diana E., Spilde, Michael N., Jones, Brian, Boston, Penelope J., Bixby, Rebecca J.
We report on a reticulated filament found in modern and fossil cave samples that cannot be correlated to any known microorganism or organism part. These filaments were found in moist environments in five limestone caves (four in New Mexico, U.S.A., one in Tabasco, Mexico), and a basalt lava tube...

Rising from the ashes; an unanticipated failure with the engorgement factor voraxin leads to advances in three areas of tick biology: Developmental abnormalities and parthenogenesis, identification of a Coxiella-like symbiont and the molecular characterization of vitellogenesis in the southern African bont tick, Amblyomma hebraeum Koch (1844)
DownloadFall 2012
Weiss and Kaufman (2004, PNAS 101: 5874-5879) demonstrated that injections of fed male gonad homogenates stimulate engorgement in virgin female Amblyomma hebraeum ticks, due to the presence of the engorgement factor voraxin. They also showed voraxin's potential as part of an anti-tick vaccine:...

Four alloys were studied to observe the effects of Rapid Solidification and alloying on the morphology of a hypereutectic Al-40Si. Impulse Atomization was used to produce the samples studied. This processing technique was used to attain high undercoolings and liquid cooling rates ranging 103-105...
