Obesity is achieved at the point where fat accumulation begins to exert deleterious effects on an organism. The human body accrues fat when there is an energy imbalance occurring, where caloric intake exceeds expenditure.Many anti-obesity drugs used in the past have had undesirable side effects, and currently there is a...

Real-time PCR assays using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes and high resolution melt (HRM) analysis were developed for molecular differentiation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of cucurbit and hop downy mildew, respectively. The assays were based on a previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the cytochrome...
Discerning the intricacies of mating systems in butterflies can be difficult,
particularly when multiple mating strategies are employed and are cryptic and not
exclusive. We observed the behavior and habitat use of 113 male Taylor’s
checkerspot butterflies (Euphydryas editha taylori). We confirmed that two distinct
mating strategies were exhibited; patrolling...
Spatially isolated patches of soil located in Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, are sites of elevated salt content and soil moisture. During Antarctic spring, in the absence of snow melt, visibly wet (reduced albedo) patches of soil are present at the surface. The soil pore fluids are hypersaline and...
The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Marine calcifiers as a plankton functional type (PFT) are a crucial part of the global carbon cycle, being responsible for much of the carbon export to the deep ocean entering via biological pathways. Deep ocean carbon export through calcifiers is controlled by physiological, ecological and biogeochemical factors. This paper describes...
Addressing the ongoing decline of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus across its range along the west coast
of North America requires an understanding of all life history phases. Currently, spawning surveys (redd counts)
are a common tool used to monitor returning adult salmonids, but the methods are in their infancy for...
