Understanding the genetic basis of pathogen susceptibility in various crop plants is crucial to increasing the stability of food, feed, and fuel production. Varietal differences in defence responses provide insights into the mechanisms of resistance and are a key resource for plant breeders. To explore the role of salicylic acid...

Pathogenic mycobacteria are important agents causing human disease. Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis
(M. avium) is a species of recalcitrant environmental pathogen. The bacterium forms robust biofilms that allow it to
colonize and persist in austere environments, such as residential and commercial water systems. M. avium is also an
opportunistic pathogen...

1. Foraging and migration often require different energetic and movement strategies. Though not readily apparent, constraints during one phase might influence the foraging strategies observed in another. For marine birds that fly and dive, body size constraints likely present a trade-off between foraging ability and migration as smaller bodies reduce...

Bacteria in the class Alphaproteobacteria have a wide variety of lifestyles and physiologies. They include pathogens
of humans and livestock, agriculturally valuable strains, and several highly abundant marine groups. The ancestor of
mitochondria also originated in this clade. Despite significant effort to investigate the phylogeny of the
Alphaproteobacteria with a...
The schist of Skookum Gulch (SSG) is an informal name applied to
a fault-bounded melange composed mainly of schistose metamorphic
rocks and less abundant sedimentary and igneous rocks located in the
eastern Klamath Mountains of northern California. The SSG features
outcrops of lawsonite+sodic amphibole blueschist and epidote+sodic
amphibole rocks transitional...
