Postzygotic sexual isolation among populations of Drosophila ananassae and Drosophila pallidosa from Indonesia, Australia, Fiji, and Samoa 2009 1893 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...
Methylmercury production in two urban artificial wetlands 2022 160 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...
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...
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...
The diversity and behavior of bats in wetlands versus forested edge using unidirectional acoustic recordings in the Piedmont region of North Carolina 2023 103 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...
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...
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...
