Evolution of trinucleotide microsatellite sequence variation across the Polistinae, a social wasp subfamily
(1998)
I examined sequences of 3 microsatellite loci that were derived from Polistes bellicosus investigated their evolution in 78 species from four tribes in the Polistinae subfamily of wasps. I found that the basic repeat ...
Testing two measures of shade tolerance in a mesic forest in southeast Texas
(1999)
I used sapling demographic data to investigate the relationship between shade tolerance and parameter estimates of a mortality-growth model and a height-diameter model.
The study site is at Wier Woods, a mesic forest in ...
Hurricane Effects on a Fagus/Magnolia Forest in Southeast Texas, USA, in the Context of Long Term Forest Monitoring
(1995)
In 1986, Hurricane Bonnie passed over Wier Woods, a well-developed
mesic forest in the Big Thicket Area of Texas, causing substantial tree
mortality and opening several canopy gaps. Mortality was high during the
hurricane ...
Male production and worker policing in Parachartergus colobopterus, a neotropical, swarm-founding wasp
(1998)
In many social insects, workers are capable of producing males. Workers are more highly related to their own sons than to the sons of the queens, and so it is surprising that queens often monopolize male production even ...
Cloning and expressing of rubredoxin oxidoreductase from Clostridium acetobutylicum in Escherichia coli
(1995)
A 550 bp DNA fragment which apparently contains part of the rubredoxin oxidoreductase gene has been amplified by a polymerase chain reaction employing genonic DNA as template. Oligonucleotides used in this amplification ...
Cloning and sequencing of genes involved in glycolysis from Clostridium acetobutylicum
(1996)
Complementation studies were carried out with a Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 plasmid library and Escherichia coli glycolytic mutants. Degenerate primers were designed from homologous regions in known glycolysis ...
Soil moisture modelling, characteristics, and measurement in the Big Thicket (Texas)
(1996)
A three-fold investigation of soil-water relations in the Big Thicket of East Texas was conducted. This study included an examination of the accuracy and reliability of electronic resistance soil moisture sensors in ...
Maternity and cyclical oligogyny in a colony of Parachartergus colobopterus
(1997)
Genetic data was obtained from a colony of Parachartergus colobopterus using DNA microsatellites. A colony cycle referred to as cyclical oligogyny is believed to account for the high relatedness in this polygynous species. ...
First evidence of skelemin, a myosin-associated protein, in smooth muscle and its involvement in cell adhesion, and, The role of the cell cycle in cell type choice during mammalian development
(1996)
Indirect immunofluorescence in conjunction with Northern and Western blot analysis were used to identify the presence of skelemin, a myosin-associated protein, in smooth muscle. Feline uterus was cryosectioned and ...
Assessing the relationship between soil reduction and methane emission in Texas rice fields
(1995)
Reduction processes and methane emissions have been observed in six rice fields along a sand-clay-silt gradient for one growing season. Variations in reduction processes occurred by depth and upon field draining, as well ...
