Marsupials and rodents of the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea
(2017-11)We provide the first account of all non-volant, non-marine mammals recorded, whether reliably, questionably, or erroneously, from the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea. Species recorded with certainty, or near certainty, ... -
Topographic variability and the influence of soil erosion on the carbon cycle
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-05-11)Soil erosion, particularly that caused by agriculture, is closely linked to the global carbon (C) cycle. There is a wide range of contrasting global estimates of how erosion alters soil-atmosphere C exchange. This can be ... -
Carbon Availability Modifies Temperature Responses of Heterotrophic Microbial Respiration, Carbon Uptake Affinity, and Stable Carbon Isotope Discrimination
(Frontiers Media, 2016-12-26)Microbial transformations of organic carbon (OC) generate a large flux of CO2 into the atmosphere and influence the C balance of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Yet, inherent heterogeneity in natural environments ... -
MycoDB, a global database of plant response to mycorrhizal fungi
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-05-10)Plants form belowground associations with mycorrhizal fungi in one of the most common symbioses on Earth. However, few large-scale generalizations exist for the structure and function of mycorrhizal symbioses, as the nature ... -
AMF, phylogeny, and succession: specificity of response to mycorrhizal fungi increases for late-successional plants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-11-08)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities are important to plant community productivity and diversity; however, the importance of AM fungal composition to community dynamics remains largely unknown. Specificity of ... -
Plant preferential allocation and fungal reward decline with soil phosphorus: implications for mycorrhizal mutualism
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-05-25)Explaining the persistence of mutualism remains a challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology. The evolutionary stability of arbuscular mycorrhiza, a most widespread and ancient mutualistic association, is particularly ... -
PROGRAM CODE FOR: Current and potential distribution of Hass avocado under climate change scenarios in America
(2018-01-01)Programming code (in R) for calculating variance contributions of different factors (replicates, parameter settings, climate models, emissions scenarios). -
Tarsal morphology of the pleuraspidotheriid mammal Hilalia from the middle Eocene of Turkey
(Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Instytut Paleobiologii, 2016-12-21)Pleuraspidotheriids are a group of primitive ungulate mammals that, until recently, were thought to be restricted to the late Paleocene of Western Europe. It has been hypothesized that this family actually survived in ... -
Repeated and Widespread Evolution of Bioluminescence in Marine Fishes
(Public Library of Science, 2016-06-08)Bioluminescence is primarily a marine phenomenon with 80% of metazoan bioluminescent genera occurring in the world’s oceans. Here we show that bioluminescence has evolved repeatedly and is phylogenetically widespread across ... -
A revision of the flies of the genus Lespesia (= Achaetoneura) in North America (Diptera: Tachinidae)
(University of Kansas, 1961) -
DATASET FOR: Patterns of tree diversity, above-ground biomass and carbon along elevational gradient in a tropical forest: A case study of the Rumpi Hills Forest Reserve in Cameroon
(2018-01-01)This study seeks to provide baseline data on species composition and vegetation structure, and to evaluate variation along elevational gradients for tree species diversity, above-ground biomass and carbon in 25 1-ha plots ... -
Horticultural materials in landscape planting
(University of Kansas, 1928) -
A study of chromosome numbers and spermatogenesis of Peromyscus leucopus noveboracensis
(University of Kansas, 1929) -
Sciurus aureogaster (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
(2017)Sciurus aureogaster (Cuvier, 1829) is a sciurid commonly called the red-bellied squirrel. S. aureogaster is a medium-bodied tree squirrel quite variable in color throughout the range; partial and complete melanism are ... -
A comparative study of the helminths of the Anura from five given localities
(University of Kansas, 1932) -
Mathematical Model of Three Age-Structured Transmission Dynamics of Chikungunya Virus
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016)We developed a new age-structured deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of chikungunya virus. The model is analyzed to gain insights into the qualitative features of its associated equilibria. Some of the ... -
Population genetic evidence for sex-specific dispersal in an inbred social spider
(Wiley, 2016-07)Dispersal in most group-living species ensures gene flow among groups, but in cooperative social spiders, juvenile dispersal is suppressed and colonies are highly inbred. It has been suggested that such inbred sociality ... -
The Tabanidae of Kansas
(University of Kansas, 1931) -
DATASETS FOR: Compatible ecological niche signals between biological and archaeological datasets for late-surviving Neandertals
(2018-01-01)DATASETS FOR manuscript for publication Objectives: To assess niche similarity for biological and archaeological samples representing late-surviving Neandertals in Europe to evaluate the validity of combining these two ... -
