Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project: Water Quality and Aquatic Wildlife Monitoring, 2006-7
This is a report to the California Department of Parks and Recreation. It describes water quality and aquatic
invertebrate monitoring after the construction of the Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project. Included are
data that have been collected for two years and preliminary assessment of the enhanced ecosystem. This
report marks the completion of 3-years of monitoring water quality and aquatic habitat. The report adopts
the same format and certain background text from previous yearsā reporting by the same research group (e.g.
Larson et al., 2005). (Document contains 100 pages
Using a Panel of Immunomarkers to Define Homologies in Mammalian Brains
Brain mapping has relied on a small number of routine chemical stains for many decades. The advent of immunomarkers has had a major impact on the ability to define homologous nuclei from one species to another. The first atlas to present a panel of immunomarkers was that of Paxinos et al. (1999a,b) in the adult rat brain. The markers used were parvalbumin, calbindin, calretinin, SMI32, tyrosine hydroxylase, and NADPH diaphorase (plus nissl and acetylcholinesterase). The āsignatureā of a nucleus of interest in a new species can be tested against the findings in the rat. Since the pattern of immunomarkers seems to be conserved in mammalian evolution, such extrapolations can be made with reasonable confidence. A marmoset brain stained with a comprehensive set of immunomarkers has recently been published on the internet (Tokuno et al., 2009) and we are in the process of defining nuclear homologies in this brain by comparison with the same markers in the rat. In this article, we present an example (mapping the amygdala in the marmoset) which demonstrates the application of this immunomarker panel in defining homologies. The technique is particularly valuable in situations where little data on hodology or electrophysiology are available
