Detection Of Spliced And Unspliced Forms Of Germline Tcr-Vβ Transcripts In Extrathymic Lymphoid Sites, Janice Abbey, Helen O'Neill Dec 2007

Detection Of Spliced And Unspliced Forms Of Germline Tcr-Vβ Transcripts In Extrathymic Lymphoid Sites, Janice Abbey, Helen O'Neill

Helen O'Neill

Germline TCR-Vβ transcription is commonly considered an event coupled with rearrangement of TCR genes in T cells. The extent of germline Vβ transcription is studied here in a range of cell types and in several mouse strains. A sensitive semi-quantitative RT-PCR method was developed to specifically detect germline and not rearranged transcripts. Germline transcription of a range of different Vβ genes was detected along with rearranged transcripts in bone marrow, thymus, mesenteric lymph node and spleen. Some transcripts were also detected in low level in non-lymphoid tissues including heart, liver and brain. Expression was also studied in the C57BL/6J-β2microglobulin−/− (C57BL/6J-β2M−/−) …


A New Species Of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) From Peru, With Comments On The Osteology, Edgar Lehr, Linda Trueb Dec 2007

A New Species Of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) From Peru, With Comments On The Osteology, Edgar Lehr, Linda Trueb

Edgar Lehr

A new species of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) from Peru, with comments on the osteology of the genus. A new, small species of Phrynopus is described from the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental just north of the Rio Huallaga in central Peru. The species resembles P. montium but is distinguished from it and other congeners by its spatulate snout. The anterior end of the maxillary arcade is broadly rounded in dorsal view, and composed of wide premaxillae that bear extraordinarily large alary processes that are deflected posteriorly at an acute angle. The configuration of the premaxillae accounts for the wide, …

Notes On Variation In Anolis Boettgeri Boulenger 1911, Assessment Of The Status Of Anolis Albimaculatus Henle And Ehrl 1991, And Description Of A New Species Of Anolis (Squamata: Iguania) Similar To Anolis Boettgeri, Edgar Lehr, Steven Poe, Christian Yanez-Miranda Dec 2007

Notes On Variation In Anolis Boettgeri Boulenger 1911, Assessment Of The Status Of Anolis Albimaculatus Henle And Ehrl 1991, And Description Of A New Species Of Anolis (Squamata: Iguania) Similar To Anolis Boettgeri, Edgar Lehr, Steven Poe, Christian Yanez-Miranda

Edgar Lehr

We describe a new species of Anolis from a high-elevation locality in the Department of Cusco, Peru. This species is similar to Anolis boettgeri but differs in characters of scalation and coloration. We reanalyze Anolis albimaculatus and find this species to be a synonym of A. boettgeri. We describe variation in A. boettgeri based on topotypical material, including the first described males of the species. Phylogenetic analysis of the new form places it within the Dactyloallatifrons clade of South American “Alpha" Anolis.


A Minute New Ecuadorian Andean Frog (Anura: Strabomantidae, Pristilnantis), Edgar Lehr, Luis Coloma Dec 2007

A Minute New Ecuadorian Andean Frog (Anura: Strabomantidae, Pristilnantis), Edgar Lehr, Luis Coloma

Edgar Lehr

We describe a new species of Pristimantis from a cloud forest at 2450–2800 m in the Cordillera Oriental in southern Ecuador (Zamora Chinchipe). The new species has a maximum snout–vent length of 17.9 mm (average SVL of 21 males 5 12.3 mm 6 1.2, and of 19 females 5 15.9 mm 6 1.3). This new species is the second smallest frog from Ecuador and smallest Pristimantis. Morphologically and phylogenetically, the new species is similar to P. caeruleonotus and P. colodactylus. It is distinguished from them and its congeners by its size, tuberculation, a distinct color pattern consisting of tan blotches …


The Seven Deadly Sins Of Communication Research, Ann Williams Dec 2007

The Seven Deadly Sins Of Communication Research, Ann Williams

Ann E Williams

We analyzed anonymized copies of the complete reviewer comments for 120 recent submissions to the Journal of Communication and attempted to identify the scholarly "sins" and "virtues" most frequently mentioned by the reviewers and most closely associated with the decision to publish the submission. We assessed levels of interreviewer agreement and patterns of evaluation in different subfields of communication scholarship. An explicit connection to a clearly identified theoretical corpus and novel findings or perspectives proved to be the most important predictors of publication. We discuss the ramifications of these findings for the current state of communication research.

A New Species Of Bryophryne (Anura: Strabomantidae) From Southern Peru, Edgar Lehr, Alessandro Catenazzi Dec 2007

A New Species Of Bryophryne (Anura: Strabomantidae) From Southern Peru, Edgar Lehr, Alessandro Catenazzi

Edgar Lehr

A new species of Bryophryne from southern Peru (Cusco Region) is described. Specimens were found in the leaf litter of cloud forest at elevations of 2350-3215 m. The new species has a maximum snout-vent length of 21.9 mm in adult females, 18.9 mm in adult males and is the smallest species of the genus. It lacks a tympanum and dentigerous processes of vomers, has dorsolateral folds, and males without vocal slits and without nuptial pads. The new species is most similar to B. bustamantei but differs in being smaller, having discontinuous dorsolateral folds, the males lacking vocal slits, and an …

Flexible Filamentous Virus Structures From Fiber Diffraction, Gerald Stubbs, Amy Kendall, Michele Mcdonald, Wen Bian, Timothy Bowles, Sarah Baumgarten, Ian Mccullough, Jian Shi, Phoebe Stewart, Esther Bullitt, David Gore, Said Ghabrial

Ian McCullough

Fiber diffraction data have been obtained from Narcissus mosaic virus, a potexvirus from the family Flexiviridae, and soybean mosaic virus (SMV), a potyvirus from the family Potyviridae. Analysis of the data in conjunction with cryo-electron microscopy data allowed us to determine the symmetry of the viruses and to make reconstructions of SMV at 19 Å resolution and of another potexvirus, papaya mosaic virus, at 18 Å resolution. These data include the first well-ordered data ever obtained for the potyviruses and the best-ordered data from the potexviruses, and offer the promise of eventual high resolution structure determinations.

A New Species Of Atelopus (Anura: Bufonidae) From The Cordillera Oriental Of Central Peru, Edgar Lehr, Stefan Lotters, Mikael Lundberg Dec 2007

A New Species Of Atelopus (Anura: Bufonidae) From The Cordillera Oriental Of Central Peru, Edgar Lehr, Stefan Lotters, Mikael Lundberg

Edgar Lehr

A new species of Atelopus is described from three localities near Oxapampa between 1700 and 2200 m elevation in central Peru, representing the first record for the genus in the Department of Pasco. The new species is readily distinguished from all congeners by its small size (maximum SVL 22.1 mm in males), numerous gray coni on dorsal and lateral body surfaces, and a coloration pattern consisting of a cream dorsolateral stripe, narrow dark brown middorsal stripe, arms and legs dorsally dark brown with grayish brown reticulation, and ventral surfaces of hands and feet reddish orange. Females are unknown.
