Se-ing bacteria in a new light: investigating selenium metabolism in Bacillus selenitireducens MLS10 |
2015 |
849 |
Prokaryotes metabolize selenium in two significant ways. One way prokaryotes metabolize selenium is through incorporation into the 21st amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), which is inserted into proteins co-translationally. Additionally, many prokaryote... |
Postzygotic sexual isolation among populations of Drosophila ananassae and Drosophila pallidosa from Indonesia, Australia, Fiji, and Samoa |

Drosophila ananassae inhabits most of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In contrast to D. melanogaster and D. simulans, populations of D. ananassae exhibit a distinct genetic populat... |
The diversity and behavior of bats in wetlands versus forested edge using unidirectional acoustic recordings in the Piedmont region of North Carolina |
2023 |

Bats are one of the most economically important vertebrates. Anthropogenic disturbances such as deforestation, pesticide use, and urbanization have decimated bat populations around the world. Previous studies demonstrated that wetlands and riparian z... |
Extra-Pair Copulation-Seeking Behavior in Purple Martins, Progne subis subis: The Relatedness Hypothesis |
2008 |
3592 |
Although socially monogamous, both male and female Purple Martins, Progne subis subis, seek extra-pair copulations (EPCs) resulting in multiple-sired broods (Morton 1990; Wagner et al. 1996). Although numerous studies have attempted to explain this b... |
Methylmercury production in two urban artificial wetlands |

Artificial wetlands created in urban areas are ecosystems that provide important services for the management of stormwater, pollutants, and erosion as well as have the potential to support rich biodiversity, unfortunately, they can produce a potent b... |
Water quality measurements to predict macroinvertebrate diversity in piedmont aquatic habitats |
2023 |
94 |
Aquatic Ecosystems, while vital to everyday life, are threatened by anthropogenic activities and lack of management. Wetlands are a part of this, and recent research shows that they are of importance, but a large percentage has been lost over time. T... |
The impact of endoparasitic Wolbachia on the evolution of reproductive barriers during speciation in Drosophila ananassae from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific |
2013 |
1336 |
There is still much work to be done in Biology to study and understand the mechanisms that drive the generation of new species. The model organism Drosophila ananassae represents and ideal model to untangle these issues. Previous genetic and mate dis... |
