Three Noteworthy Vascular Plant Records from Alabama
(2025-09-17)
Three vascular plant taxa are documented as new or noteworthy to the flora of Alabama. Astragalus obcordatus,
previously unknown from the state, is here substantiated for the first time from Alabama based on a collection ...
The Vascular Flora of the Red Hills Forever Wild Tract, Monroe County, Alabama
(2025-09-17)
The Red Hills Forever Wild Tract (RHFWT) is a 1785 ha property that was acquired in two purchases by the State of
Alabama Forever Wild Program in February and September 2010. The RHFWT is characterized by undulating
terrain ...
Validation of nrDNA ITS as a DNA barcode for Marshallia (Asteraceae)
(2025-09-17)
We examine the utility of nrDNA ITS as a barcode marker in the southeastern endemic wildflower genus Marshallia,
sequencing multiple individuals of all species. With the exception of the putative hybrid M. mohrii, all ...
Vascular Plant Flora of the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center, Alabama
(2025-09-17)
A survey of the vascular plant flora was conducted at the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center in south-central
Alabama. Over 2000 vascular plant specimens were collected from the 2144 ha site comprising 152 families, ...
Sequencing and characterization of the Del/Tekay chromovirus family in Marshallia obovata (Asteraceae)
(2025-09-11)
Low coverage DNA sequencing data coupled with improved assembly methods are providing new insight into the repetitive fraction of the genomes of non-model organisms. In this study we explore the potential of these new ...
Supplementary Files: Apalachicola Redhorse Description
(2025-09-10)
A new species is being described for the Apalachicola Redhorse, which is found in the Apalachicola River basin of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia as well as Econfina Creek in Florida. The files include 1) mensural data for ...
Arachniodes simplicior Newly Reported From Lee County, Alabama, U.S.A.
(2025-09-10)
The fern species Arachniodes simplicior (Makino) Ohwi (Dryopteridaceae) is documented for the first time from Lee County, Alabama, U.S.A. The habitat where it was found is consistent with other known localities of this ...
A New Name for a Hybrid Bog Clubmoss from the Southeastern United States
(2025-09-09)
A previously unnamed hybrid between Lycopodiella alopecuroides (L.) Cranfill and L. prostrata (R.M. Harper) Cranfill is formally described as L. × shortii D.D. Spaulding. The specific epithet honors pteridologist John W. ...
Data for: Effect of local chain ordering on macroscopic charge mobility in chemically doped P3HT
(2025-08-18)
Charge carrier mobility is a key factor underlying the performance of conjugated polymers as conductive materials for flexible and lightweight electronics. Chemical doping is typically used to improve polymer conductivity ...
Demographic mechanisms of inbreeding adjustment through extra-pair reproduction
(2025-08-01)
1. One hypothesis explaining extra-pair reproduction is that socially monogamous females mate with extra-pair males to adjust the coefficient of inbreeding (f) of extra-pair offspring (EPO) relative to that of within-pair ...
Analysis of the developmental stages, kinetics, and phenotypes exhibited by myeloid cells driven by GM-CSF in vitro
(2025-08-01)
The developmental progression of conventional DC has been quite well defined, yet the developmental pathway of monocyte-derived, GM-CSF-driven DC is less well understood. We addressed this issue by establishing an isolation ...
Gestalt-ing a Diagram
(2025-07-14)
Using ideas from Gestalt psychology about how humans may perceive diagrams, we consider, and offer alternative representations of, a popular mathematics education diagram: the ‘egg’ model of mathematical knowledge for ...

(2025-06-27)
This submission contains the data which were collected and analyzed for the publication titled: "Honey bee beards: internal and external factors driving mass thermoregulatory evacuation." There are six files attached: one ...
Data for: Comparison of neutral argon R-matrix calculations with experimentally determined apparent cross sections, and the importance of time-dependent metastables in the modeling of low temperature argon plasmas
(2025-06-04)
Neutral argon is an important element in a wide range of low temperature plasma applications. Calculations are presented here for the electron-impact excitation cross sections and Maxwellian rate coefficients for neutral ...
Radiocarbon and guano accumulation rate data from Cave Springs Cave
(2025-05-19)
This dataset contains radiocarbon and guano accumulation data from a core collected from Cave Springs Cave in Morgan County, Alabama. The radiocarbon samples were collected from the guano core and were used to calculated ...
Data for "Maternal nest-site choice in response to saline substates differs between an island and inland population of lizards"
(2025-04-03)
The capacity for oviparous animals to recognize and choose suitable nesting habitats impacts offspring development. Species that occupy a wide range of habitats often exhibit variation in nest-site choice in response to ...
Assessing motivations, benefits, and barriers of implementing virtual field experiences in geoscience-related disciplines
(2025-04-02)
Outdoor field experiences have long been part of the traditional curriculum in geoscience-related disciplines and are considered a key aspect of professional development in these areas. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced ...
Décollement controls on the Dauki Fault System in the Shillong Plateau and the Bengal Basin
(2025-02-25)
The Dauki Fault System is a major thrust at the northern rim of the Bengal Basin. The mechanism of faulting and how strain is accumulated and distributed along the system still need to be understood. We present an analysis ...
Life history strategies are decoupled from ecomorphological convergence in two Anolis lizards
(2024-10-03)
Convergence is considered powerful evidence for adaptation to similar natural selection pressures. However, for many ecologically and morphologically convergent species, it remains unclear if convergence extends to ...
