Plant Water Potentials And Plant Physiology At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1989-1992), Charles Wisdom Feb 2011

Plant Water Potentials And Plant Physiology At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1989-1992), Charles Wisdom

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

Physiological status of plants is monitored in conjunction with the sampling schedule outlined in Sevilleta Plant Demography. Several perennial life forms, including tree (Juniperus and Pinus), shrub (Larrea) and grass (Oryzopsis and Sporobolus), are being monitored at 1-3 of four sites which differ in elevation and topography as well as edaphic and annual precipitation characteristics. For the 1990 field season we are adding a spring annual, Lesquerella to our sampling efforts at these same sites. Currently, water status (xylem potentials, bars) is monitored twice a year, in spring (after the 'dry' season) and fall (after the 'wet' season). Three replicate …

Integrin Α3, But Not Β1, Regulates Islet Cell Survival And Function Via Pi3k/Akt Signaling Pathways, Mansa Krishnamurthy, Jinming Li, George F. Fellows, Lawrence Rosenberg, Cynthia G. Goodyer, Rennian Wang Feb 2011

Integrin Α3, But Not Β1, Regulates Islet Cell Survival And Function Via Pi3k/Akt Signaling Pathways, Mansa Krishnamurthy, Jinming Li, George F. Fellows, Lawrence Rosenberg, Cynthia G. Goodyer, Rennian Wang

Paediatrics Publications

β1-Integrin is a well-established regulator of β-cell activities; however, the role of its associated α-subunits is relatively unknown. Previously, we have shown that human fetal islet and INS-1 cells highly express α3β1-integrin and that collagens I and IV significantly enhance their survival and function; in addition, blocking β1 function in the fetal islet cells decreased adhesion on collagen I and increased apoptosis. The present study investigates the effect of blocking α3. Using α3 blocking antibody or small interfering RNA, the effects of α3-integrin blockade were examined in isolated human fetal or adult islet cells or INS-1 cells, cultured on collagens …

Urban trees are a critical quality of life element in rapidly growing cities in tropical climates. Tropical trees are found in a wide variety of habitats governed largely by the presence and duration of monsoonal dry periods. Tropical cities can serve as a proxy for climate change impacts of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), urban heat island, and drought-prone root zones on successful urban trees. Understanding the native habitats of species successful as tropical urban trees can yield insights into the potential climate impact on those habitats. Species from equatorial and montane wet forests where drought stress is not a limiting …


Speaking Up: A Conceptual Model Of Voice Responses Following The Unfair Treatment Of Others In Non-Union Settings, Caren B. Goldberg, Mark A. Clark, Amy B. Henley Feb 2011

Speaking Up: A Conceptual Model Of Voice Responses Following The Unfair Treatment Of Others In Non-Union Settings, Caren B. Goldberg, Mark A. Clark, Amy B. Henley

Faculty Articles

Bridging the literature of procedural justice, social identification, and voice, we present a conceptual model of observers' voice responses to injustices perpetrated on coworkers. Based on social identity theory, we contend that similarity to the target of injustice influences observer identification with the target, as moderated by the observer's scope of justice, which then influences the observer's perceptions of injustice and decision to express voice. Additionally, we posit that the link between observers' perceptions of injustice and expressed voice is moderated by the observer's perceived opportunity to express voice. Finally, we propose that the decision to express voice individually or …

Napier stunt phytoplasma (16SrXI and 16SrIII) in eastern Africa is a serious threat to the expansion of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) farming in the region, where it is widely cultivated as fodder in zero grazing livestock systems. The grass has high potential for bio-fuel production, and has been adopted by farmers as a countermeasure to cereal stem borer Lepidoptera, since it attracts and traps the insect. Diagnosis of stunt phytoplasma have been largely by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) targeting the 16S rRNA gene. However, the method is laborious, costly and technically demanding. This investigation has developed a simpler but …


Diversity Of Agromyzidae And Associated Hymenopteran Parasitoid Species In The Afrotropical Region: Implications For Biological Control, Robert Musundire, Adenirin Chabi-Olaye, Bernhard Löhr, Kerstin Krüger Feb 2011

Diversity Of Agromyzidae And Associated Hymenopteran Parasitoid Species In The Afrotropical Region: Implications For Biological Control, Robert Musundire, Adenirin Chabi-Olaye, Bernhard Löhr, Kerstin Krüger

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Agromyzidae (Diptera) is a family with many species of economic importance on agricultural plants. However, many species are attacked by hymenopteran parasitoids which are known to be habitat rather than species specific. In the Afrotropical region, information about agromyzid and parasitoid diversity in different habitats is scattered in literature. Our aim was to assemble this dispersed information and discuss future needs of biological control efforts against invasive agromyzids in the Afrotropics. From published information, 581 agromyzid records comprising 302 species from 20 genera were recorded from 48 plant families. Parasitoids (90 records) were associated only with 20 agromyzid species belonging …


Effect Of Infection By Metarhizium Anisopliae (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) On The Feeding And Oviposition Of The Pea Leafminer Liriomyza Huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae) On Different Host Plants, L. N. Migiro, N. K. Maniania, A. Chabi-Olaye, A. Wanjoya, J. Vandenberg Feb 2011

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The effect of fungal infection by Metarhizium anisopliae on feeding and oviposition of adult Liriomyza huidobrensis was examined on three host plants, faba bean (Vicia faba), French bean (Phaseolus vuklgaris) and snow pea (Pisum sativum) in the laboratory. Flies were contaminated with dry conidia and allowed to feed and oviposit on the different host plants. Mortality in L. huidobrensis varied between 14% and 20% in the controls and between 77% and 100% in fungal treatments 120h post-infection for the three host plants. L. huidobrensis made more punctures (47.3-52.6cm-2) in the control than in the fungal treatments (23.1-26.9cm-2) for the three …

The Mechanics Of Embodiment: A Dialog On Embodiment And Computational Modeling, Giovanni Pezzulo, Lawrence W. Barsalou, Angelo Cangelosi, Martin H. Fischer, Ken Mcrae, Michael J. Spivey Jan 2011

The Mechanics Of Embodiment: A Dialog On Embodiment And Computational Modeling, Giovanni Pezzulo, Lawrence W. Barsalou, Angelo Cangelosi, Martin H. Fischer, Ken Mcrae, Michael J. Spivey

Psychology Publications

Embodied theories are increasingly challenging traditional views of cognition by arguing that conceptual representations that constitute our knowledge are grounded in sensory and motor experiences, and processed at this sensorimotor level, rather than being represented and processed abstractly in an amodal conceptual system. Given the established empirical foundation, and the relatively underspeci ed theories to date, many researchers are extremely interested in embodied cognition but are clamoring for more mechanistic implementations. What is needed at this stage is a push toward explicit computational models that implement sensorimotor grounding as intrinsic to cognitive processes. In this article, six authors from varying …
