Identification, characterization and use of novel thermogenetic tools in drosophilia melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
regions. Hence, in the second chapter, we tested for the avoidance behavior of flies using two choice assays. We made mutant flies that lacked Gr28b proteins, including Gr28bD in the antennae. We then examined the ability of the orthologs to rescue...
Tales of an 'invisible' life stage : survival and physiology among terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid salamanders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The vital rates (e.g., survival, growth, and reproduction) of distinct life stages within a species are known to influence the growth and persistence of populations. As such, studies describing stage-specific vital rates, ...
Mechanisms of polar growth in the alphaproteobacterial order rhizobiales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
All bacteria elongate and divide to faithfully reproduce their cell shape. Understanding the mechanisms that drive bacterial morphology requires an intimate knowledge of how the cell wall is synthesized. During cell ...
