Fossil record of stem groups employed in evaluating the chronogram of insects (Arthropoda: Hexapoda)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-12-13)Insecta s. str. (=Ectognatha), comprise the largest and most diversified group of living organisms, accounting for roughly half of the biodiversity on Earth. Understanding insect relationships and the specific time intervals ... -
Sex and the Single Gametophyte: Revising the Homosporous Vascular Plant Life Cycle in Light of Contemporary Research
(Oxford University Press, 2016-11)Homosporous vascular plants are typically depicted as extreme inbreeders, with bisexual gametophytes that produce strictly homozygous sporophytes. This view is promulgated in textbook life cycles despite ample evidence ... -
Data sets: Typhoon frequency and intensity across the western North Pacific Ocean, 1951–2014
(2017-01-01)Disturbance has been a repeated theme in ecology in recent decades, yet incorporating its frequency and pattern at broad spatial scales into ecological analyses has been difficult—rather, most environmental data sets used ... -

(2017-01-05)Disturbance has been a repeated theme in ecology, yet incorporating its frequency and pattern at broad spatial scales into ecological analyses has been difficult—rather, most environmental data sets used in broad-scale ... -
Continent-wide association of H5N1 outbreaks in wild and domestic birds in Europe
(PAGEpress, 2011-05-01)The highly pathogenic avian influenza strain H5N1 was first detected in Europe in 2005, and has since been documented continent-wide in wild birds and poultry. However, the relative roles of each host group in transmission ... -

Effects of white-tailed deer herbivory on tallgrass prairie plant communities
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) abundance is increasing across North America as habitat is created and populations are protected from predation. Their preferred habitat, the forest edge, surrounds many remnant ... -
Tapeworms of the Mangrove Whipray, Himantura granulata Macleay, and an Investigation of Host Size as it Relates to Tapeworm Faunal Composition
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Since its description by Macleay in 1883, only three tapeworm species have been reported to parasitize the mangrove whipray, Himantura granulata. These are the rhinebothriideans Rhinebothrium himanturi and a presumably new ... -
Lecanicephalidean (Cestoda) fauna of the giant freshwater whipray, Himantura polylepis (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae), from Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo.
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Eight species of dasyatid stingrays (Myliobatiformes) are characterized as freshwater obligate, including the giant freshwater whipray (Himantura polylepis), comprising at least three separate incursions into freshwater ... -
Consequences of employing amino acid vs. bulk-tissue, stable isotope analysis: a laboratory trophic position experiment
(Ecological Society of America (ESA), 2015-01-27)An important metric of environmental health is food web structure because it reflects species richness, natural history diversity, and resource availability. While bulk-tissue stable isotope analysis has proven valuable ... -
The genus Scolops
(University of Kansas, 1927) -
A quadriocellar scoliid wasp (Hymenoptera, Scoliidae) from Mallorca, with a brief account of supernumerary ocelli in insects
(Pensoft, 2015-09-11)A remarkable teratological female of Megascolia (Regiscolia) maculata flavifrons (Fabricius, 1775) (Scoliidae: Scoliinae: Scoliini) with a supernumerary median ocellus is described and illustrated. While supernumerary ... -
Interspecific Differential Expression Analysis of RNA-Seq Data Yields Insight into Life Cycle Variation in Hydractiniid Hydrozoans
(Oxford University Press, 2015-08-06)Hydrozoans are known for their complex life cycles, which can alternate between an asexually reproducing polyp stage and a sexually reproducing medusa stage. Most hydrozoan species, however, lack a free-living medusa stage ... -
Rethinking phylogeographic structure and historical refugia in the rufous-capped babbler Cyanoderma ruficeps in light of range-wide genetic sampling and paleodistributional reconstructions
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10-01)Combining ecological niche modeling with phylogeography has become a popular approach to understand how historical climate changes have created and maintained population structure. However, methodological choices in ... -

Transit times and mean ages for nonautonomous and autonomous compartmental systems
(Springer Verlag, 2016-04-01)We develop a theory for transit times and mean ages for nonautonomous compartmental systems. Using the McKendrick–von Förster equation, we show that the mean ages of mass in a compartmental system satisfy a linear nonautonomous ...
