In Vivo Quantification Reveals Extensive Natural Variation in Mitochondrial Form and Function in Caenorhabditis briggsae

Creator:: Hicks, Kiley A., Howe, Dana K., Leung, Aubrey, Denver, Dee R., and Estes, Suzanne
Abstract:: In We have analyzed natural variation in mitochondrial form and function among a set of Caenorhabditis briggsae isolates known to harbor mitochondrial DNA structural variation in the form of a heteroplasmic nad5 gene deletion (nad5 Delta) that correlates negatively with organismal fitness. We performed in vivo quantification of 24 mitochondrial...

Ultraviolet Radiation Influences Perch Selection by a Neotropical Poison-Dart Frog

Creator:: Kats, Lee B., Bucciarelli, Gary M., Schlais, David E., Blaustein, Andrew R., and Han, Barbara A.
Abstract:: Ambient ultraviolet-B radiation can harm amphibian eggs, larvae and adults. However, some amphibians avoid UV-B radiation when given the opportunity. The strawberry poison dart frog, Oophaga pumilio, is diurnal and males vocalize throughout the day in light gaps under forest canopies that expose them to solar radiation. Previous studies have...

Selfish Little Circles: Transmission Bias and Evolution of Large Deletion-Bearing Mitochondrial DNA in Caenorhabditis briggsae Nematodes

Creator:: Clark, Katie A., Howe, Dana K., Gafner, Kristin, Kusuma, Danika, Ping, Sita, Estes, Suzanne, and Denver, Dee R.
Abstract:: Selfish DNA poses a significant challenge to genome stability and organismal fitness in diverse eukaryotic lineages. Although selfish mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has known associations with cytoplasmic male sterility in numerous gynodioecious plant species and is manifested as petite mutants in experimental yeast lab populations, examples of selfish mtDNA in animals...

Circadian Regulation of Glutathione Levels and Biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Beaver, Laura M., Klichko, Vladimir I., Chow, Eileen S., Kotwica-Rolinska, Joanna, Williamson, Marisa, Orr, William C., Radyuk, Svetlana N., and Giebultowicz, Jadwiga M.
Abstract:: Circadian clocks generate daily rhythms in neuronal, physiological, and metabolic functions. Previous studies in mammals reported daily fluctuations in levels of the major endogenous antioxidant, glutathione (GSH), but the molecular mechanisms that govern such fluctuations remained unknown. To address this question, we used the model species Drosophila, which has a...

Tapeworm Eggs in a 270 Million-Year-Old Shark Coprolite

Creator:: Dentzien-Dias, Paula C., Poinar, George, Jr., de Figueiredo, Ana Emilia Q., Pacheco, Ana Carolina L., Horn, Bruno L. D., and Schultz, Cesar L.
Abstract:: Remains of parasites in vertebrates are rare from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic. Once most parasites that live in - or pass through - the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, fossil feces (coprolites) or even intestinal contents (enterolites) can eventually preserve their remains. Here we announce the discovery of a spiral shark...

Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

Catching the Right Wave: Evaluating Wave Energy Resources and Potential Compatibility with Existing Marine and Coastal Uses

Creator:: Kim, Choong-Ki, Toft, Jodie E., Papenfus, Michael, Verutes, Gregory, Guerry, Anne D., Ruckelshaus, Marry H., Arkema, Katie K., Guannel, Gregory, Wood, Spencer A., Bernhardt, Joanna R., Tallis, Heather, Plummer, Mark L., Halpern, Benjamin S., Pinsky, Malin L., Beck, Michael W., Chan, Francis, Chan, Kai M. A., Levin, Phil S., and Polasky, Stephen
Abstract:: Many hope that ocean waves will be a source for clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy, yet wave energy conversion facilities may affect marine ecosystems through a variety of mechanisms, including competition with other human uses. We developed a decision-support tool to assist siting wave energy facilities, which allows the...

Effects of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (sod1) Genotype and Genetic Background on Growth, Reproduction and Defense in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:: Bonner, Kaitlin M., Bayne, Christopher J., Larson, Maureen K., and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Resistance of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata to the trematode Schistosoma mansoni is correlated with allelic variation at copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1). We tested whether there is a fitness cost associated with carrying the most resistant allele in three outbred laboratory populations of snails. These three populations were derived from the...

Phylogeny of minute carabid beetles and their relatives based upon DNA sequence data (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechitae)

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Ober, Karen A.
Abstract:: The phylogeny of ground beetles of supertribe Trechitae is inferred using DNA sequences of genes that code for 28S ribosomal RNA, 18S ribosomal RNA, and wingless. Within the outgroups, austral psydrines are inferred to be monophyletic, and separate from the three genera of true Psydrina (Psydrus, Nomius, Laccocenus); the austral...
