L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in
developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia
University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career
researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and
scientists....
Radiocarbon is an exceptionally useful tool for studying soil-respired CO₂, providing information about soil
carbon turnover rates, depths of production, and the biological sources of production through partitioning. Unfortunately, little
work has been done to thoroughly investigate the possibility of inherent biases present in current measurement techniques,

We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex attractant pheromone of Desmocerus californicus californicus.
Headspace volatiles from female Desmocerus aureipennis aureipennis contained
(R)-desmolactone, and the antennae...
