Lake and Stream Fishes: Ecology, Adaptation, Diets and Resource Use
(11/24/2020)This text has as its objective a synthesis of the ecology and biogeography of small lake fish systems, as illustrated by the North American fauna and, specifically, the cool temperate one of the northeast of the continent. ... -
The Importance of Live‐Well Transport in the Physiological Disturbance Experienced by Smallmouth Bass in Tournaments on Large Water Bodies
(Wiley, 2019)Competitive fishing has become an important element of recreational fisheries for black bass Micropterus spp. in North America. The vast majority of competitive events involve a “live‐release” format, where fish are held ... -
Breeding eider ducks strongly influence subarctic coastal pond chemistry
(2018)Arctic freshwater ponds are typically pristine and oligotrophic, however, seabird biovectors can markedly alter 29 water quality via enrichment with marine-derived nutrients and bioaccumulated metals. These ornithogenic ... -
Interannual variation in season length is linked to strong co-gradient plasticity of phenology in a montane annual plant
(Wiley, 2019-06-21)Species are commonly distributed along latitudinal and elevational gradients of growing season length to which they might respond via phenotypic plasticity and / or adaptive genetic differentiation. However, the relative ... -
Transcriptional and post-translational upregulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Arabidopsis thaliana (L. Heynh) under cadmium stress
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a tightly controlled anaplerotic enzyme that replenishes organic acids that have been withdrawn from the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Organic acid anions are important chelators of ... -
EDTP/MTMR14: A novel target for improved survivorship to prolonged anoxia and cellular protein aggregates
(Elsevier, 2019-07-13)Drosophila egg-derived tyrosine phosphatase (EDTP), a lipid phosphatase that removes 3-position phosphate at the inositol ring, has dual functions in oogenesis and muscle performance in adults. A mammalian homologous gene ... -
Rapid cold hardening and octopamine modulate chill tolerance in Locusta migratoria
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Temperature has profound effects on the neural function and behaviour of insects. When exposed to low temperature, chill-susceptible insects enter chill coma, a reversible state of neuromuscular paralysis. Despite the ... -
Extra-pair offspring are less heterozygous than within-pair offspring in American redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla)
(2019-03-20)The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous; however, extra-pair paternity is nearly ubiquitous and a number of theories have been proposed to explain the prevalence of this mixed mating strategy. Here, we ... -
Correlates of alternative migratory strategies in western bluebirds
(2019-03-08)Partial migration occurs when only some animals in a population migrate. While evidence suggests that migratory strategies are partially controlled by genes, individual and environmental conditions which alter the cost-benefit ...
