A Century of Shope Papillomavirus in Museum Rabbit Specimens
(Public Library of Science, 2015-07-06)Sylvilagus floridanus Papillomavirus (SfPV) causes growth of large horn-like tumors on rabbits. SfPV was described in cottontail rabbits (probably Sylvilagus floridanus) from Kansas and Iowa by Richard Shope in 1933, and ... -
Rapid diversification and secondary sympatry in Australo-Pacific kingfishers (Aves: Alcedinidae: Todiramphus)
(Royal Society Publishing, 2015)Todiramphus chloris is the most widely distributed of the Pacific's ‘great speciators’. Its 50 subspecies constitute a species complex that is distributed over 16 000 km from the Red Sea to Polynesia. We present, to our ... -
Restriction Endonuclease Cleavage Site and Length Polymorphisms in Mitochondrial DNA of Apis mellifera mellifera and A. m. carnica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(Entemological Society of America, 1990)Restriction endonuclease cleavage maps of mitochondrial DNAs of Scandinavian Apis mellifera mellifera L., of German, Austrian, and Yugoslavian A. m. carnica Pollman, and of Austrian "Nigra" honey bees are compared with ... -

THE POTENTIAL OF FRESHWATER MACROALGAE AS A BIOFUELS FEEDSTOCK AND THE INFLUENCE OF NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY ON FRESHWATER MACROALGAL BIOMASS PRODUCTION
(University of Kansas, 2014-12-31)Extensive efforts have been made to evaluate the potential of microalgae as a biofuel feedstock during the past 4-5 decades. However, filamentous freshwater macroalgae have numerous characteristics that favor their potential ... -
Epistasis Is a Major Determinant of the Additive Genetic Variance in Mimulus guttatus
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05-11)The influence of genetic interactions (epistasis) on the genetic variance of quantitative traits is a major unresolved problem relevant to medical, agricultural, and evolutionary genetics. The additive genetic component ... -
How do SNP ascertainment schemes and population demographics affect inferences about population history?
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-17)Background: The selection of variable sites for inclusion in genomic analyses can influence results, especially when exemplar populations are used to determine polymorphic sites. We tested the impact of ascertainment bias ... -
Population Ecology of Uinta Ground Squirrels
(Ecological Society of America, 1974-08-01)The behavior and ecology of Uinta ground squirrels (Spermophilus armatus) at the Utah State University Forestry Field Station northeast of Logan, Utah, were studies 1964—71 to determine the role of behavior in population ... -

Pison menkeiy a new crabronid wasp in Dominican amber (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae)
(Akademie Verlag, 2008-01-01)A new crabronid wasp species, Pison menkei sp. n., is described and figured from a single female preserved in Early Miocene (Burdigalian) Dominican amber. The fossil is herein distinguished from extant and extinct congeners ... -
Juxtocellar Structures in Euglossine Bees: A New Character for Corbiculate Studies
(Akademie Verlag, 2008-01-01)A new morphological structure is described and figured for orchid bees (Apinae: Euglossini). These minute features are located posterolateral to the ocelli and are termed "juxtocellar structures". The diversity of their ... -
