Bilaterian Phylogeny Based On Analyses Of A Region Of The Sodium-Potassium Atpase Beta-Subunit Gene, Frank E Anderson, Alonso J Córdoba, Mikael Thollesson Mar 2004

Bilaterian Phylogeny Based On Analyses Of A Region Of The Sodium-Potassium Atpase Beta-Subunit Gene, Frank E Anderson, Alonso J Córdoba, Mikael Thollesson

Publications

Molecular investigations of deep-level relationships within and among the animal phyla have been hampered by a lack of slowly evolving genes that are amenable to study by molecular systematists. To provide new data for use in deep-level metazoan phylogenetic studies, primers were developed to amplify a 1.3-kb region of the alpha subunit of the nuclear-encoded sodium-potassium ATPase gene from 31 bilaterians representing several phyla. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses of these sequences (combined with ATPase sequences for 23 taxa downloaded from GenBank) yield congruent trees that corroborate recent findings based on analyses of other data sets (e.g., the …

Ethnophytotherapical Approaches For The Treatment Of Diabetes By The Local Inhabitants Of District Attock (Pakistan), Mushtaq Ahmad, Mir Ajab Khan, Muhammad Arshad, Muhammad Zafar

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Results of the present investigation are based on 37 indigenous plant species belonging to 23 Angiospermic families. These indigenous plants were used as traditional phytotherapies for the control and treatment of diabetes millitus. The rural inhabitants of the area classified these traditional phytotherapies on the basis of uses of various parts of plants and method of their uses. About 29 traditional phytotherapies were investigated from the rural inhabitants of the area. These traditional phytotherapies were classified as antidiabetic extracts, leaves, powders, flour, seeds, vegetables, fruits and herbal mixtures.

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak Jan 2004

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak

Publications

A method for free cyanide and strongly-complexed cyanide measurement within plant tissue was developed to study uptake and movement of cyanide species separately from cyanide metabolism and metabolite movement by a willow plant (Salix eriocephala var. Michaux). Spike recoveries from solutions with and without plant tissue, using various solvent combinations, and background control tissue contributions were investigated to obtain an accurate and precise extraction method for measurement of complexed and free cyanide concentrations within plant tissue. The optimum extraction technique involved the freezing of plant tissue with liquid nitrogen to facilitate homogenization prior to extraction. Homogenized willow tissue samples, 1 …

Scale-Dependent Associations Among Fish Predation, Littoral Habitat, And Distributions Of Crayfish Species, James E. Garvey, Jessica E. Rettig, Roy A. Stein, David M. Lodge, Steven P. Klosiewski Dec 2003

Scale-Dependent Associations Among Fish Predation, Littoral Habitat, And Distributions Of Crayfish Species, James E. Garvey, Jessica E. Rettig, Roy A. Stein, David M. Lodge, Steven P. Klosiewski

Publications

To predict how species establish and disperse within novel communities, the spatial scale at which competition, predation, and habitat interact must be understood. We explored how these factors affect the distribution and abundance of the exotic crayfishes Orconectes rusticus and O. propinquus and the native O. virilis at both the site-specific and whole-lake scales in northern Wisconsin lakes. During summer 1990, we quantified crayfish, fish predators, and fish diets in cobble and macrophyte sites in Trout Lake, comparing resulting patterns to those in 21 lakes surveyed during summer 1987. Within and across lakes, fish abundance was unrelated to habitat. Within …

Maya Ritual And Myth: Human Sacrifice In The Context Of The Ballgame And The Relationship To The Popol Vuh, Jessica Zaccagnini Dec 2003

Maya Ritual And Myth: Human Sacrifice In The Context Of The Ballgame And The Relationship To The Popol Vuh, Jessica Zaccagnini

Honors Theses

The ballgame existed as an integral facet of Mayan life. Ritual and mythic expression are inextricably linked to the execution of the ballgame and are deeply integrated into Mayan culture. Ritual human sacrifice is an unquestionable aspect related to the ballgame. The Maya rulers extended the outcome of the ballgarne by satisfying the deities through ritual and human sacrifice (Scarborough 1991 :143). The Quiche book of epic narratives, named the Papal Vuh, is a recurring theme in the exploration of the ballgame and it is deeply weighted with mythic significance. A discussion of how this theme is interwoven into the …
