Habitat and courtship behavior of the wolf spider Schizocosa retrorsa (banks) (Araneae, Lycosidae)
(American Arachnological Society, 1996-04)The habitat and courtship behavior of the wolf spider Schizocosa retrorsa (Banks 1911) were studied and are described here for the first time. The range of S. retrorsa was extended to include the lower peninsula of Michigan. ... -
Habitat associations of carrion beetles (coleoptera: silphidae) across a full annual cycle
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03-05)Necrophagous insects play an important role in decomposition and nutrient recycling of decomposing vertebrates. Ecological studies of carrion-associated beetles enhance forensic investigations by providing information about ... -
Halotolerant aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from the Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma
(Springer New York, 2004-11)The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge (SPNWR) near Cherokee, Oklahoma, contains a barren salt flat where Permian brine rises to the surface and evaporates under dry conditions to leave a crust of white salt. Rainfall ... -
Heads or tails? Dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) attraction to carrion
(Entomological Society of America, 2021-03-05)Necrophilous insects occupy an ecologically interesting niche because carrion is a highly desirable but ephemeral food source. Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) within temperate regions ... -
A heteroallelic mutant mouse model: A new orthologue for human hyperphenylalaninemia
(Elsevier, 2000-03)Hyperphenylalaninemias (HPA) are Mendelian disorders resulting from deficiencies in the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. The vast majority are explained by a primary deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) ... -
Hierarchy theory reveals multiscale predictors of Arkansas darter (Etheostoma cragini) abundance in a Great Plains riverscape
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019-01-14)Landscape ecology and its emphasis on relationships between spatial heterogeneity, scale, and ecological processes can be applied to manage stream ecosystems as riverscapes. Hierarchy theory, a central tenet of riverscape ... -
Higenamine promotes osteogenesis via IQGAP1/SMAD4 signaling pathway and prevents age-and estrogen-dependent bone loss in mice
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023-03-12)Osteoporosis is a common bone disease caused by an imbalance of bone resorption and formation that results in a loss of total bone density. SMAD2/3 signal transduction is known to play a crucial role in osteogenic ... -
High levels of orexin A in the brain of the mouse model for phenylketonuria: possible role of orexin A in hyperactivity seen in children with PKU
(PubMed, 2003-12)Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder caused by phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency leading to increased levels of phenylalanine in the brain. Hyperactivity is reportedly induced by a high level of orexin A, and ... -
High soil nitrogen levels and insect herbivory suppress tall thistle (Cirsium altissimum) rosette survival
(2012-08)Background/Question/Methods The effect of herbivores on plant performance is often highly variable and the causes of this variability are poorly explained for many herbivore-host plant interactions. Many of the proposed ... -
High VEGF with rapid growth and early metastasis in a mouse osteosarcoma model
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007-10-19)A murine model of osteosarcoma was developed to investigate the association between the expression of VEGF and the progression of osteosarcoma. Two human osteosarcoma cell lines with distinct VEGF expressions were introduced ... -
Historical patterns of oak population expansion in the Chautauqua Hills, Kansas
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014-06-18)AimRates of tree population expansion have increased in many North American landscapes that were mosaics of grasslands, savannas and woodlands historically. Consequences of woodland expansion include reduced economic return ... -
Hormone-specific inhibitory influence of alpha-subunit Asn56 oligosaccharide on in vitro subunit association and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor binding of equine gonadotropins
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1998-02-01)Hybrid hormones were created using combinations of equine (e) LH, eFSH, and eCG alpha- and beta-subunit preparations. The efficiency of eFSH beta association was highest with eLH alpha (64-72%) and was lowest with eCG alpha ... -
How has the introduction of new bearing surfaces altered the biological reactions to byproducts of wear and modularity?
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2014-12)Background Biological responses to wear debris were largely elucidated in studies focused on conventional ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and some investigations of polymethymethacrylate cement and orthopaedic ... -
Hph-1: A mouse mutant with hereditary hyperphenylalaninemia induced by ethylnitrosourea mutagenesis
(PubMed, 1988-02)Ethylnitrosourea mutagenesis of spermatogonial stem cells and a three-generation breeding scheme were used to screen for recessive mutations that cause defects in phenylalanine metabolism leading to elevated serum levels ... -
Human FSH glycoform α-Subunit asparagine$^{52}$ glycans: Major glycan structural consistency, minor glycan variation in abundance
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-10-18)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), an α/β heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone, consists of functionally significant variants resulting from the presence or absence of either one of two FSHβ subunit N-glycans. The two most ... -
A human FSHB transgene encoding the double N-glycosylation mutant (Asn(7 Delta) Asn(24 Delta)) FSH beta subunit fails to rescue Fshb null mice
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-05-05)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotrope-derived heterodimeric glycoprotein. Both the common alpha and hormone-specific beta subunits contain Asn-linked N-glycan chains. Recently, macro heterogeneous FSH glycoforms ... -
