<p>Speciation has occurred countless times throughout history, and yet the genetic mechanisms that lead to speciation are still missing pieces. Here, we describe the genetics of two processes that can act alone or together ...

As demand for freshwater resources rises, the importance of conservation and preservation of ground-water resources become necessary, especially in coastal areas where large-scale seawater intrusion is a risk. A hydrologic ...

Sediment cores raised from the shallow floor of Lake Opabusu in the Bolivian Gran Chaco record 5500 years of hydrologic change in the surrounding region. Sediment samples were analyzed for their organic carbon and nitrogen ...

<p>This study was conducted using data that was collected as part of the National Income Dynamic Study(NIDS). We hypothesized that in the NIDS study conducted in South Africa this phenomenon would be observed as a rise in ...

In the central Piedmont of North Carolina, prairies and savannas were noted by European settlers to have covered a significant portion of the landscape. Piedmont prairie is valued for its extraordinary biodiversity; at ...

<p>GRP94, the endoplasmic reticulum Hsp90, is a metazoan-restricted chaperone essential for early development in mammals, yet dispensable for mammalian cell viability. These data suggest that GRP94 is required for important ...

<p>Genomic imprinting is the parent-of-origin dependent monoallelic expression of select developmentally important genes that are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. It is believed to have co-evolved with placentation in ...

<p>The specification of a single axon and multiple dendrites is the first observable event during neuronal morphogenesis and such structural specialization underlies neural connectivity and nervous system function. Numerous ...

Human-wildlife conflict is an ever-present threat to large carnivores in Namibia due to their distribution across privately owned properties. Translocation techniques are one approach to solving this conservation challenge, ...

<p>Glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most common and lethal brain tumor in adults, with glioma initiating cells (GICs) implicated to play a critical role in its progression and recurrence. However, the molecular mechanisms ...
