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...

Disturbance has lasting effects on functional traits and diversity of grassland plant communities
Download2022-01-01
Ellen A Smith, Emily M Holden, Charlotte Brown, James F Cahill Jr
Background Localized disturbances within grasslands alter biological properties and may shift species composition. For example, rare species in established communities may become dominant in successional communities if they exhibit traits well-suited to disturbance conditions. Although the idea...

Disubstituted sialic acid ligands targeting siglecs CD33 and CD22 associated with myeloid leukaemias and B cell lymphomas
Download2014
McBride, Ryan, Fokin, Valery V., He, Yuan, Macauley, Matthew S., Paulson, James C. , Arlian, Britni M., Rillahan, Cory D., Rangarajan, Janani, Schwartz, Erik
The siglec family of sialic acid-binding proteins are endocytic immune cell receptors that are recognized as potential targets for cell directed therapies. CD33 and CD22 are prototypical members and are validated candidates for targeting acute myeloid leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas due to...

Diurnal and annual exchanges of mass and energy between an aspen-hazelnut forest and the atmosphere: testing the mathematical model ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment
Download1999
Russell, C., den Hartog, G., Grant, R.F., Berry, J.A., Yang, P.C., Neumann, H.H., Blanken, P.D., Black, T.A., Gower, S.T.
There is much uncertainty about the net carbon (C) exchange of boreal forest ecosystems, although this exchange may be an important part of global C dynamics. To resolve this uncertainty, net C exchange has been measured at several sites in the boreal forest of Canada as part of the Boreal...

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...

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...
