Feeding rainbow trout 0.3-0.4 mg dieldrinlkg/d for 9-12 weeks stimulated the biliary excretion of a subsequent dose of [¹⁴C]dieldrin by 500% and [³H]7,12- dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) by 240%. In vitro work demonstrated that this interaction occurred without induction of the cytochrome P450 system, or other hepatocellular proteins involved in metabolism. The...
Cold soaking is a technique used during red winemaking to alter the aroma, flavor, and phenolic content of a wine. However, cold soaking does not come without risk, as this process can result in the production of spoilage compounds such as acetic acid and ethyl acetate if excessive growth of...
In a 1966 American Naturalist article, G. C. Williams
initiated the study of reproductive effort (RE) with the prediction
that longer-lived organisms ought to expend less in reproduction per
unit of time. We can multiply RE, often measured in fractions of
adult body mass committed to reproduction per unit time,...
Forest ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest of the USA are changing as a result of climate change. Specifically, rise of global temperatures, decline of winter precipitation, earlier loss of snowpack, and increased summer drought are altering the range of Pinus contorta. Simultaneously, flux in environmental conditions within the historic P....

The genetic underpinnings associated with the earliest stages of plant and animal domestication have remained elusive. Because a genome-wide response to selection can take many generations, the earliest detectable changes associated with domestication may first manifest as heritable changes to global patterns of gene expression. Here, to test this hypothesis,...
