Heterochronic Mutants Of The Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans, Victor Ambros, R. Horvitz
Heterochronic Mutants Of The Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans, Victor Ambros, R. Horvitz
Victor R. Ambros
Mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans genes lin-14, lin-28, and lin-29 cause heterochronic developmental defects: the timing of specific developmental events in several tissues is altered relative to the timing of events in other tissues. These defects result from temporal transformations in the fates of specific cells, that is, certain cells express fates normally expressed by cells generated at other developmental stages. The identification and characterization of genes that can be mutated to cause heterochrony support the proposal that heterochrony is a mechanism for phylogenetic change and suggest cellular and genetic bases for heterochronic variation.

The applied research discussed in detail in this report supplements the work performed during the 1983 southbound and northbound migrations of the gray whale, Eschrichtius robustus, in the Monterey, California region. The objective of both phases has been to determine the degree of behavioral response of migrating gray whales to acoustic stimuli associated with oil and gas exploration and development activities. The results of that earlier work were presented in Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. Report No. 5366* This companion document extends the 1983 research effort, adding to the statistical data base through measurements of behavioral response of the January …

Larval Parasitism Of Psilocorsis Spp. (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae), Leaftiers Of Central Missouri Oaks, J. Pasek, W. Kearby
Judith E Pasek
Larval parasitism of 3 Psilocorsis species in central Missouri forests averaged 22% for the years 1977-1979. Twenty-three species of parasitoids were reared in the laboratory from the larvae collected. Seventeen species emerged from P. reflexella Clemens, 14 from P. quercicella Clemens, and 10 from P. cryptolechiella (Chambers). The most abundant parasitoids were the braconids Apanteles n. sp., Agathis calcarata (Cresson), and A. cincta (Cresson); the eulophid Elachertus proteoteratis Howard; the ichneumonid Diadegma psilocorsis Walley; and the 3 closely related pteromalids, Perilampus fulvicornis Ashmead, P. prothoracicus Smulyan, and P. n. sp. Elachertus proteoteratis was reared only from P. reflexella. Twenty-three new …
