Plant colonization of gopher mounds in adjacent pasture and prairie communities

Creator:: Macdonald, Catherine A.
Abstract:: I used field experiments to study how plants in two grassland communities colonized soil mounds made by the Camas pocket gopher, Thomomys bulbivorus (Richardson). I identified potential mound colonizers in each source of colonization (buried propagule bank, seed rain, and established vegetation) and then measured species specific rates of colonization...

Enhanced Protein Homeostasis Mechanisms in Naked Mole Rats Cells

Creator:: Pride, Harrison, Coles, Alex, Mochnick, Jillian, Zhang, Yiqiang, Buffenstein, Rochelle, Hornsby, Peter J., Austad, Steve, Richardson, Arlan, and Perez, Viviana I.
Abstract:: Phylogenic studies suggest that cells from long-lived species are more resistant to a variety of stressors than short-lived species. However, there is little information on the cellular mechanisms that give rise to increased resistance to stress. Our previous studies have shown that liver proteins from a long-lived species have lower...
