The Highly Similar Arabidopsis Homologs Of Trithorax Atx1 And Atx2 Encode Proteins With Divergent Biochemical Functions, Abdelaty Saleh, Raul Alvarez-Venegas, Mehtap Yilmaz, Oahn-Le, Guichuan Hou, Monther Sadder, Ayed Al-Abdallat, Yuannan Xia, Guoqinq Lu, Istvan Ladunga, Zoya Avramova

Nebraska Center for Biotechnology: Faculty and Staff Publications

Gene duplication followed by functional specialization is a potent force in the evolution of biological diversity. A comparative study of two highly conserved duplicated genes, ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX-LIKE PROTEIN1 (ATX1) and ATX2, revealed features of both partial redundancy and of functional divergence. Although structurally similar, their regulatory sequences have diverged, resulting in distinct temporal and spatial patterns of expression of the ATX1 and ATX2 genes. We found that ATX2 methylates only a limited fraction of nucleosomes and that ATX1 and ATX2 influence the expression of largely nonoverlapping gene sets. Even when coregulating shared targets, ATX1 and ATX2 may employ different …

Agonistic Signals Received By An Arthropod Filiform Hair Allude To The Prevalence Of Near-Field Sound Communication, Roger D. Santer, Eileen Hebets

Eileen Hebets Publications

Arthropod filiform hairs respond to air particle movements and are among the most sensitive animal sensory organs. In many species, they are tuned to detect predators or prey and trigger escape or prey capture behaviours. Here we show for the first time that these hairs also receive intraspecific near-field sound signals in an arachnid. During agonistic encounters, whip spiders (Arachnida, Amblypygi) perform antenniform leg vibration (ALV) displays that have significantly longer duration in contest winners than losers. During an ALV display: (i) the vibrating antenniform leg of the displaying whip spider is positioned close to the trichobothria (filiform hairs) on …

Seismic Signal Dominance In The Multimodal Courtship Display Of The Wolf Spider Schizocosa Stridulans Stratton 1991, Eileen Hebets

Eileen Hebets Publications

Unraveling the function and evolutionary history of multimodal signaling is a difficult, yet common task of much research in animal communication. Here, I investigated multimodal signal function in the visual and seismic courtship display of the wolf spider Schizocosa stridulans and found that only the seismic courtship signal was important for mating success. First, copulation frequency was assessed in the presence/ absence of both visual and seismic courtship signals. The seismic signal was sufficient for successful copulation, whereas the visual signal was neither necessary nor sufficient, suggesting that the signals are not redundant and do not function as backups. Next, …

At The Hands Of Becky Sharp: (In)Visible Manipulation And Vanity Fair, Peter J. Capuano

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Victorian sartorial convention allowed for the routine inspection of only two body parts: the head and the hands. While it is well-documented that the perceptual codes of phrenology and physiognomy shaped psychological, aesthetic and fictional conventions by the middle of the nineteenth century, the hand has attracted relatively little attention. One would be hard-pressed, for example, to identify a critic of Vanity Fair who does not comment on the relationship between Becky Sharp's facial expressions and the pervasiveness of her manipulative temperament. However, even within the heavily sifted topic of "manipulation" in Vanity Fair, critics have overlooked the extent …

Ec08-130 2008 Guide For Weed Management, Mark L. Bernards, Roch E. Gaussoin, Robert N. Klein, Stevan Z. Knezevic, Drew J. Lyon, Lowell D. Sandell, Robert G. Wilson Jr., Patrick J. Shea, Clyde Ogg

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The 2008 Guide for Weed Management in Nebraska is a valuable tool for anyone with responsibility for controlling weeds in crop, pasture, range, turf or aquatic environments in Nebraska. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive publication that will enable the user to make sound weed control decisions based on unbiased, research-based information, and to carry out weed control activities in a safe and responsible manner.

This publication deals principally with herbicides as an aid for crop production. The suggestions for use are based on research at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Research and Extension Centers and elsewhere.

Ec08-278 Grazing Crop Residues With Beef Cattle, Richard J. Rasby, Galen E. Erickson, Terry Klopfenstein, Darrell R. Mark

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Grazing cattle on crop residue is a valuable feed assets for livestock producers to consider. This Extension Circular review many aspects of grazing residues from nutrient content of residue, supplementation strategies based on desired performance, calculating stocking rates, and strategies to manage around founder. Allowing cattle to harvest their needs is a management strategy to reduce feed costs. Know what your expectations are for your operation, your cattle, and your crops.

Comparison Of The 2008 Farm Bill Conference Agreement With The House And Senate Farm Bills, Renée Johnson, Geoffrey S. Becker, Tom Capehart, Ralph M. Chite, Tadlock Cowan, Ross W. Gorte, Charles E. Hanrahan, Remy Jurenas, Jim Monke, Jean M. Rawson, Randy Schnepf, Joe Richardson, Donald J. Marples, Mark Jickling

Congressional Research Service Reports

In late May, both the House and the Senate voted to override a presidential veto of the conference agreement on the 2008 farm bill (H.R. 2419, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008), and the conference bill became law on May 22, 2008 (P.L. 110-234). However, an enrolling error resulted in one title of the bill (Title III, Trade) being omitted from the version that was sent to the White House, and the newly enacted law contains 14 of 15 farm bill titles. To resolve this issue, both the House and Senate passed a version of the 2008 farm …

Resource Heterogeneity Moderates The Biodiversity-Function Relationship In Real World Ecosystems, Jason M. Tylianakis, Tatyana A. Rand, Ansgar Kahman, Alexandra-Maria Klein, Nina Buchmann, Jörg Perner, Teja Tscharntke

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

Numerous recent studies have tested the effects of plant, pollinator, and predator diversity on primary productivity, pollination, and consumption, respectively. Many have shown a positive relationship, particularly in controlled experiments, but variability in results has emphasized the context-dependency of these relationships. Complementary resource use may lead to a positive relationship between diversity and these processes, but only when a diverse array of niches is available to be partitioned among species. Therefore, the slope of the diversity-function relationship may change across differing levels of heterogeneity, but empirical evaluations of this pattern are lacking. Here we examine three important functions/properties in different …
