Genome of Diuraphis noxia, a global aphid pest of small grains
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-05)
Background: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov, is one of the most important pests of small grains throughout the temperate regions of the world. This phytotoxic aphid causes severe systemic damage symptoms ...

Influence of tree spacing on soil nitrogen mineralization and availability in hybrid poplar plantations
(MDPI, 2015-03-04)
Nitrogen (N) availability and mineralization are key parameters and transformation processes that impact plant growth and forest productivity. We hypothesized that suitable plantation spacing can lead to enhanced soil N ...
Onset, comorbidity, and predictors of nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana use disorders among North American Indigenous adolescents
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)
North American Indigenous (i.e., American Indian and Canadian First Nations) youth experience inequities in rates of substance abuse and dependence. Despite this, few longitudinal studies examine the developmental course ...
Time course analysis of the extracellular proteome of Aspergillus nidulans growing on sorghum stover
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-26)
Background: Fungi are important players in the turnover of plant biomass because they produce a broad range of degradative enzymes. Aspergillus nidulans, a well-studied saprophyte and close homologue to industrially important ...
Few throats to choke: On the current structure of the internet
(IEEE, 2018-06-19)
We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only (2/π+o(1)) log ...
Assessing the effects of variables and background selection on the capture of the tick climate niche
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-26)
Background: Modelling the environmental niche and spatial distribution of pathogen-transmitting arthropods involves various quality and methodological concerns related to using climate data to capture the environmental ...
Evolutionary aspects of resurrection ecology: Progress, scope, and applications-an overview
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-11-22)
This perspective provides an overview to the Special Issue on Resurrection Ecology (RE). It summarizes the contributions to this Special Issue, and provides background information and future prospects for the use of RE in ...
Temperature response surfaces for mortality risk of tree species with future drought
(IOP Publishing, 2017-11-17)
Widespread, high levels of tree mortality, termed forest die-off, associated with drought and rising temperatures, are disrupting forests worldwide. Drought will likely become more frequent with climate change, but even ...
Novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-09)
Background: Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are ...
