Adducins Regulate Remodeling of Apical Junctions in Human Epithelial Cells

This article identifies membrane skeleton proteins, adducins, as important regulators of epithelial cell–cell adhesions that promote assembly and antagonize stimulus-induced disassembly of adherens and tight junctions

Age, coloration and dominance in nonbreeding hummingbirds: A test of the asymmetry hypothesis

During the nonbreeding season, adult Anna and black-chinned hummingbirds ( Calypte anna and Archilochus alexandri ) have lower defense costs and more exclusive territories than juveniles. Adult C. anna are victorious over juveniles in aggressive encounters, and tend to monopolize the most temporally predictable resources.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46906/1/265_2004_Article_BF00300667.pd

Workshop on Plant Dispersal and Migration Modeling. Final Report for period June 1, 2001 - May 31, 2002

Global environmental change is causing shifts in the geographical locations of habitats suitable for particular plant species. While it is established that the future distributions of plant species will be strongly influenced by the ability of plants to migrate to sites of suitable habitat, our ability to predict potential and actual migration rates is rudimentary. This workshop organized by the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE) core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program provided scientists with interests and expertise in global change and plant migration with a forum for developing a new collaborative synthesis of understanding on long distance dispersal and migration modeling. This grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, provided partial support for the workshop by supporting the participation of U.S. scientists
