Tadpole Food Consumption Decreases with Increasing Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection Intensity
(The Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2015-09-01)Parasitized hosts frequently experience behavioral side effects associated with pathology. Although this phenomenon is fairly well documented, we do not fully understand the relationship between changes in host behavior ... -
Did shell-crushing crabs trigger an escalatory arms race in the aftermath of a Late Neogene regional mass extinction event? An experimental test
(Elsevier B.V, 2015-01-01)A regional mass extinction event in the late Neogene western Atlantic is widely thought to have generated evolutionary opportunities for survivors, including enemy-related adaptation (escalation). The Strombus alatus species ... -
Seasonal Changes in Shoot and Root Nitrogen Distribution in Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)
(Springer US, 2014-03-01)Switchgrass is a promising bioenergy source that is perennial, productive, native to a broad geographic region, and can grow on marginal, nitrogen (N)-poor soils. Understanding N dynamics in switchgrass is critical to ... -
