of elucidating the effect that domestication has had on early light responses. Our study indicates that G. max exhibits growth in darkness that is more characteristic of growth in light. This finding suggests that domestication has resulted in a crop species...

Territoriality is a suite of behaviors through which animals secure access to particular areas or resources. It is prevalent across animal groups and has the potential to exert substantial influence on fitness by mediating how individuals...

Freshwater ponds are often underappreciated landscape features, despite the fact they comprise a major portion of all freshwater ecosystems. Ponds support diverse food webs and species not found in other habitat types. Ponds ecosystems do not exist...

of skeletal muscle is exhausted. The potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine lies in the ability to remove them from their natural niche, inducing them to proliferate in culture and placing functional cells back into a tissue environment. In order...

in the upper Columbia River (UCR) face many of the same factors. White sturgeon in this system have been declining for decades due to a lack of recruitment to the population, despite evidence of spawning and early larval survival in the wild. Early life stage...
