Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Survivorship of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in a Hypoxic Environment

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a structural pest of major economic importance in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.  Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the United States Gulf coast on August 29, 2005, inundating

AgamOBP1‐Directed Discovery of Repellents to Control the Spread of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Toward the discovery of novel mosquito repellents, a library of potential binders of AgamOBP1 (secondary amines) generated from two amines and seven aldehydes was designed aiming to enable interactions with critical amino acids at the DEET‐site and to bridge the DEET‐ and Icaridin sIC‐binding pockets. 1H STD NMR spectroscopy in the presence of AgamOBP1

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Quantifying landscape‐level biodiversity change in an island ecosystem: a 50‐year assessment of shifts in the Hawaiian avian community

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Hawaii has experienced profound declines in native avifauna alongside the introduction of numerous bird species. While site‐specific population studies are common, landscape‐level analyses of avian population dynamics are rare, particularly in island ecosystems. To address this gap, we used a density surface model to create a spatio‐temporal projection
