Adaptations enabling PBP1a-driven polar growth in Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
a unique set of challenges. In one, A. tumefaciens freely lives in the soil where it encounters many environmental stressors such as salinity, antibiotics, nutrient availability, changes in pH, and temperature that hinder its ability to grow. Upon...
Disentangling the feedback signals coordinating the ion channel mRNA profile of motor neurons of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
to be correlated in expression in a cell-type specific manner in STG neurons (Schulz DJ, Goaillard JM, and Marder E 2007). The active co-regulation of these transcripts suggests they may be important to promote output stability (Temporal S et al. 2012; Santin JM...
(Socio-)ecological tools and insights for a changing climate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
pinned specimens to discern whether lethal sampling has decreased with heightened conservation awareness and availability of novel non-lethal sampling methods. Our literature review shows that lethal sampling of bumble bees has instead kept pace...
Signals, cues, and information use in foraging decisions of herbivorous insects and a leaf-folding plant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Group living organisms rely heavily on cues and signals from other group members to make decisions. I studied how foraging decisions are influenced by communication in two species of plant-feeding ...
Unveiling glial pathways involved in neuronal communication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Glia have been understudied throughout time largely because of a lack of basic understanding. Early experiments showing that glia do not respond with action potentials after an electrical stimulation, like their neuronal ...
