Creator:: Tréhu, Anne Martine, Flemings, Peter B., Bangs, Nathan Lawrence Bailey, Chevallier, Johanna, Gracia, Eulalia, Johnson, Joel E., Liu, C. S., Liu, Xiaoli, Riedel, Michael, and Torres, Marta E.
Abstract:: Log and core data document gas saturations as high as 90% in a coarse-grained turbidite sequence beneath the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) at south Hydrate Ridge, in the Cascadia accretionary complex. The geometry of this gas-saturated bed is defined by a strong, negative-polarity reflection in 3D seismic data. Because...

Abstract:: Lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) have persisted over millennia and now suffer a recent decline in abundance. Complex life histories may have factored in their persistence; anthropogenic perturbations in their demise. The complexity of life histories of lampreys is not understood, particularly for the anadromous Pacific lamprey, Entosphenus tridentatus Gairdner, 1836. Our goals...

Fin whale movements in the Gulf of California, Mexico, from satellite telemetry

Creator:: Jimenez Lopez, M. Esther, Palacios, Daniel M., Jaramillo Legorreta, Armando, Urban R, Jorge, and Mate, Bruce R.
Abstract:: Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) have a global distribution, but the population inhabiting the Gulf of California (GoC) is thought to be geographically and genetically isolated. However, their distribution and movements are poorly known. The goal of this study was to describe fin whale movements for the first time from 11...

Excited state structural dynamics of a dual-emission calmodulingreen fluorescent protein sensor for calcium ion imaging

Creator:: Oscar, Breland G., Liu, Weimin, Zhao, Yongxin, Tang, Longteng, Wang, Yanli, Campbell, Robert E., and Fang, Chong
Abstract:: Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have played a pivotal role in bioimaging and advancing biomedicine. The versatile fluorescence from engineered, genetically encodable FP variants greatly enhances cellular imaging capabilities, which are dictated by excited state structural dynamics of the embedded chromophore inside the protein pocket. Visualization of the molecular choreography of the...

Peroxiredoxins in Parasites

Creator:: Gretes, Michael C., Poole, Leslie B., and Karplus, P. Andrew
Abstract:: Significance: Parasite survival and virulence relies on effective defenses against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the host immune system. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous enzymes now thought to be central to such defenses and, as such, have potential value as drug targets and vaccine antigens. Recent Advances: Plasmodial and...

Contrasting patterns of evolution following whole genome versus tandem duplication events in Populus

Creator:: Rodgers-Melnick, Eli, Mane, Shrinivasrao P., Dharmawardhana, Palitha, Slavov, Gancho T., Crasta, Oswald R., Strauss, Steven H., Brunner, Amy M., and DiFazio, Stephen P.
Abstract:: Comparative analysis of multiple angiosperm genomes has implicated gene duplication in the expansion and diversification of many gene families. However, empirical data and theory suggest that whole-genome and small-scale duplication events differ with respect to the types of genes preserved as duplicate pairs. We compared gene duplicates resulting from a...

Analysis of the VPg-Proteinase (NIa) Encoded by Tobacco Etch Potyvirus: Effects of Mutations on Subcellular Transport, Proteolytic Processing, and Genome Amplification

Creator:: Schadd, Mary C., Haldeman-Chahill, Ruth, Cronin, Stephen, and Carrington, James C.
Abstract:: A mutational analysis was conducted to investigate the functions of the tobacco etch potyvirus VPgproteinase (NIa) protein in vivo. The NIa N-terminal domain contains the VPg attachment site, whereas the C-terminal domain contains a picornavirus 3C-like proteinase. Cleavage at an internal site separating the two domains occurs in a subset...

Estimating Salinity Variance Dissipation Rate from Conductivity Microstructure Measurements

Creator:: Nash, Jonathan D. and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: At the smallest length scales, conductivity measurements include a contribution from salinity fluctuations in the inertial–convective and viscous–diffusive ranges of the turbulent scalar variance spectrum. Interpreting these measurements is complicated because conductivity is a compound quantity of both temperature and salinity. Accurate estimates of the dissipation rate of salinity variance...

Migratory Patterns of Wild Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Returning to a Large, Free-Flowing River Basin

Creator:: Eiler, John H., Evans, Allison N., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: Upriver movements were determined for Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha returning to the Yukon River, a large, virtually pristine river basin. These returns have declined dramatically since the late 1990s, and information is needed to better manage the run and facilitate conservation efforts. A total of 2,860 fish were radio tagged...

Host Identity Matters in the Amphibian-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis System: Fine-Scale Patterns of Variation in Responses to a Multi-Host Pathogen

Creator:: Gervasi, Stephanie, Gondhalekar, Carmen, Olson, Deanna H., and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Species composition within ecological assemblages can drive disease dynamics including pathogen invasion, spread, and persistence. In multi-host pathogen systems, interspecific variation in responses to infection creates important context dependency when predicting the outcome of disease. Here, we examine the responses of three sympatric host species to a single fungal pathogen,...

Abstract:: Native bees are important ecologically and economically because their role as pollinators fulfills a vital ecosystem service. Pollinators are declining due to various factors, including habitat degradation and destruction. Grasslands, an important habitat for native bees, are particularly vulnerable.

Abstract:: Basamid (3,5-dimethyl-l,3,5,2H-tetrahydrothiadiazine-2-thione), a crystalline powder first used as a soil sterilant, has shown promise as a wood fumigant. This chemical decomposes to methylisothiocyanate (MITC), the primary active ingredient, as well as other products; but the rate of decomposition in wood is too slow to be effective unless certain catalysts are...
