Comparative Metagenomic Investigations Link the Functional Capacity of the Gut Microbiome to Vertebrate Physiology

Creator:

Armour, Courtney R.

Abstract:

Microscopic organisms inhabit virtually every niche on this planet, where they perform functions vital to all life on earth. Accordingly, humans host a complex community of microorganisms (i.e. the gut microbiome) that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and modulate host physiology. Insight into the specific mechanisms through which gut microbes influence...

Insights into Novel Non-Fumigant Nematicides: Physiological and Cellular Responses of Meloidogyne Incognita and Other Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Creator:

Wram, Catherine L.

Abstract:

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) pose a severe threat to crop production with the economic losses due to nematode parasitism in excessive of US$ 80 billion each year. Meloidogyne incognita, a globally distributed pest with a diverse host range, contributes significantly to this economic loss. The most reliable way to manage PPN...

Pheromone Variation in Plethodontid Salamanders

Creator:

Chouinard, Adam J.

Abstract:

Plethodontid salamanders have served as an informative vertebrate system for studying the role of chemical signals in facilitating social and reproductive behaviors. Individuals produce complex mixtures of chemicals from multiple glandular regions. In total, these secretions convey a wide variety of information, and are important for numerous inter- and intraspecific...
