Call timing interactions, aggressive behavior, and the role of acoustic cues in chorus formation in treefrogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)I studied calling patterns and aggressive behavior of the Bird voiced treefrog, , to assess how dynamic call characters influences males and the factors influencing the onset of choruses and settling patterns of males in ... -
Characterization of an in vitro neural stem cell niche with educational component : stem cells and society
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We describe a novel neural stem cell (NSC) culture system, derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells, that maintains and expands a population of neural ... -
The evolutionary significance of developmental plasticity in the communication system of Neoconocephalus triops (Orthoptera: tettigoniidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The katydid Neoconocephalus triops is a tropical species that extended its distribution range to North America. In North America, males display developmental plasticity in mating calls between reproductive generations: the ... -
Pollen-pistil interactions in nicotiana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] To screen for potential mates, angiosperm pistils provide a physical and biochemical barrier that promotes the growth of desirable pollen while ... -
Spinal cord injury induces changes in ion channels of reticulospinal neurons in larval lamprey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)After spinal cord injury in larval lamprey, RS neurons regenerate their axons (Davis and McClellan, 1994a,b), restore synaptic contacts and most of the original locomotor functions (McClellan, 1998). It was previously ...
