Anatomy of the Laminar Organs of Commelina erecta (Commelinaceae)
(2021-01-27)
A study was undertaken to compare the anatomy of the laminar floral parts with that of the spathes and leaves of Commelina erecta L. Each flower has two types of petals and two types of sepals. In contrast to the other ...
Anemonefish oxygenate their anemone hosts at night
(2023-09-20)
Many stony coral-dwelling fishes exhibit adaptations to deal with hypoxia among the branches of their hosts; however, no
information exists on the respiratory ecophysiology of obligate fish associates of non-coral organisms ...
Ar/TTIP dust cloud
(2024-01-23)
Are we underestimating the genetic variances of dimorphic traits?
(2022-09-16)
Populations often contain discrete classes or morphs (e.g., sexual dimorphisms, wing dimorphisms, trophic dimorphisms) characterized by distinct patterns of trait expression. In quantitative genetic analyses, the different ...
Assessment of transition operator reference states in electron propagator calculations
(2021-01-26)
The transition operator method combined with second-order, self-energy corrections to the electron
propagator TOEP2 may be used to calculate valence and core-electron binding energies. This
method is tested on a set of ...
Assignment of photoelectron spectra of halide–water clusters: Contrasting patterns of delocalization in Dyson orbitals
(2020-01-16)
Ab initio electron propagator calculations in various self-energy approximations provide accurate
assignments of peaks observed in the photoelectron spectra of complexes that comprise a fluoride
or chloride anion and two ...
Bacteria as an agent for change in structural plumage color: Correlational and experimental evidence
(2023-05-17)
Recent studies have documented that a diverse assemblage of bacteria is present on the feathers of wild birds and that uropygial oil affects these bacteria in diverse ways. These findings suggest that birds may regulate ...
BAM files associated with Macaca arctoides hybridization analysis
(2022-10-12)
Genital divergence is thought to contribute to reproductive barriers by establishing a “lock-and-key" mechanism for reproductive compatibility. One such example, Macaca arctoides, the bear macaque, has compensatory changes ...
Basis set converged weak interaction energies from conventional and explicitly correlated coupled-cluster approach
(2020-01-16)
Interaction energies for seven weakly bound dimers involving helium, argon, water, and methane
are computed using large correlation-consistent basis sets augmented with bond functions. The estimates of the coupled-cluster ...
Biogeochemical and Microbial Variation across 5500 km of Antarctic Surface Sediment Implicates Organic Matter as a Driver of Benthic Community Structure
(2019-04-29)
Western Antarctica, one of the fastest warming locations on Earth, is a unique environment that is underexplored with regards to biodiversity. Although pelagic microbial communities in the Southern Ocean and coastal Antarctic ...
Biomechanical factors influencing successful self-righting in the pleurodire turtle Emydura subglobosa
(2022-07-29)
Self-righting performance is a key ability for most terrestrial animals, and has been used as a metric of fitness, exhaustion and thermal limits in a variety of taxa. However, there is little understanding of the underlying ...
Bird assemblage response to restoration of fire‐suppressed longleaf pine sandhills
(2022-09-15)
The ecological restoration of fire‐suppressed habitats may require a multifaceted approach. Removal of hardwood trees together with reintroduction of fire has been suggested as a method of restoring fire‐suppressed longleaf ...
Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs, Extended Version
(2015-07-08)
This is the extended version of my dissertation, "Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs." This version is presented in three parts, each in a separate file.
[Part 1] Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs
[Part 2] Extension ...
A Call to Develop Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) for Nonmajors Courses
(2022-03-11)
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) for non-science majors (non-majors) are potentially distinct from CUREs for developing scientists in their goals, learning objectives, and assessment strategies. While ...
Can mixed assessment methods make biology classes more equitable
(2023-09-20)
Many factors have been proposed to explain the attrition of women in science, technology, engineering and math fields, among them the lower performance of women in introductory courses resulting from deficits in incoming ...
Central Arizona Project
(2022-04-18)
This file contains a digital map of the Central Arizona Project (U.S.A.) in Google Earth KMZ format that was produced as part of The IBT Water Project at Auburn University. The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a complex ...
Classification of a Hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila Pathotype Responsible for Epidemic Outbreaks in Warm-Water Fishes
(2019-04-29)
Lineages of hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila (vAh) are the cause of persistent outbreaks of motile Aeromonas septicemia in warm-water fishes worldwide. Over the last decade, this virulent lineage of A. hydrophila has ...
