ABC transporters: A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

Jones Peter; O'Mara Megan; George Anthony (Cell Press, 2009)

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form one of the largest and most ancient of protein families. ABC transporters couple hydrolysis of ATP to vectorial translocation of diverse substrates across cellular membranes. ...
ACID: annotation of cassette and integron data

Joss M; Koenig Jeremy; Labbate Maurizio; Polz Martin; Gillings Michael; Stokes Harold; Doolittle W; Boucher Yan (BioMed Central Ltd, 2009)

Although integrons and their associated gene cassettes are present in ~10% of bacteria and can represent up to 3% of the genome in which they are found, very few have been properly identified and annotated in public ...
Allometry in the Bearded Dragon Pogona barbata (Sauria:Agamidae) : Sex and Geographic differences

Stauber Andrew; Booth David (Royal Zoological Society of NSW, 2003)

Allometry in size and shape between sexes was investigated in preserved Bearded Dragon Pagan a barbata museum specimens. Measurements for snout-vent, head, leg and tail lengths were obtained from 236 individuals ranging ...
Alterations of the Birt-Hogg-Dube gene (BHD) in sporadic colorectal tumours

Nassif Najah; Lobo Glenn; Chen Jin Dong; Khoo Sok; Kahnoski Katherine; Segelov Eva; Teh Bin (BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, 2003)

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States. There were approximately 150 000 new cases resulting in 57 ...
An analysis of the sensitivity of sap flux to soil and plant variables assessed for an Australian woodland using a soil-plant-atmosphere model

Whitley Rhys; Taylor Daniel; Zeppel Melanie; Palmer Anthony; Macinnis-Ng Catriona; Williams Mathew; Yunusa Isa; Eamus Derek; Fuentes Sigfredo (CSIRO, 2008)

Daily and seasonal patterns of tree water use were measured for the two dominant tree species, Angophora bakeri E.C.Hall (narrow-leaved apple) and Eucalyptus sclerophylla (Blakely) L.A.S. Johnson & Blaxell (scribbly gum), ...
Assessing the environmental impacts of beach nourishment

Peterson Charles; Bishop Melanie (American Institute of Biological Science, 2005)

With sea levels rising under global warming, dredge-and-fill rpograms are increasignly employed to protect coastal development from shoreline erosion. Such beach "nourishment" can bury shallow reefs and degrade other beach ...
Assimilation of carbon from a rotifer by the mussels Mytilus edulis and Perna viridis: a potential food-web link

Wong Wai; Levinton Jeffrey; Twining Benjamin; Fisher Nicholas; Kelaher Brendan; Alt Aya (Inter Research, 2003)

We tested the hypothesis that mesozooplankton is a potential food source for 2 marine mussels; the temperate blue mussel Mytilus edulis and the tropical and subtropical green mussel Perna viridis. We fed the rotifer ...
An automated procedure for estimating the leaf area index (LAI) of woodland ecosystems using digital imagery, MATLAB programming and its application to an examination of the relationship between remotely sensed and field measurements of LAI.

Palmer Anthony; Taylor Daniel; Whitley Rhys; Fuentes S; Zeppel Melanie; Eamus Derek (CSIRO, 2008)
Bioavailability of Iron Sensed by a Phytoplanktonic Fe-Bioreporter

Hassler Christel; Twiss R (American Chemical Society, 2006)

This study describes a short-term (12 h) evaluation of iron (Fe) bioavailability to an Fe-dependent cyanobacterial bioreporter derived from Synechococcus PCC 7942. Several synthetic ligands with variable conditional stability ...
Ciguatoxins: Cyclic polyether modulators of voltage-gated Iion channel function

Nicholson Graham; Lewis Richard (Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2006)

Ciguatoxins are cyclic poly ether toxins, derived from manne dinoflagellates, which are responsible for the symptoms of ciguatera poisoning. Ingestion of tropical and subtropical fin fish contaminated by ciguatoxins ...
Comparing test systems to measure the salinity tolerance of freshwater invertebrates.

Kefford Benjamin; Dalton A; Palmer Carolyn; Pakhomova L; Nugegoda D (Water Research Commission, 2004)

There have recently been several studies into acute salinity tolerance of freshwater invertebrates using different methods, making comparisons between studies difficult. The alternatives focus on experimental flow regimes ...
Complex habitats may not always benefit prey: linking visual field with reef fish behavior and distribution

Rilov G; Figueira William; Lyman Sean; Crowder Larry (Inter-Research, 2007)

Habitat structural complexity is often considered beneficial for prey species because it reduces the foraging efficiency of predators. However, for site-attached, territorial prey, such as many damselfishes, structural ...
Co-ordination of leaf area, sapwood area and canopy conductance leads to species convergence of tree water use in a remnant evergreen woodland.

Zeppel Melanie; Eamus Derek (CSIRO, 2008)

This paper compares rates of tree water use, Huber value, canopy conductance and canopy decoupling of two disparate, co-occurring tree species, in a stand of remnant native vegetation in temperate Australia in order to ...
A curious coincidence: mosquito biodiversity and the limits of the Japanese encephalitis virus in Australasia

Slapeta Jan; Hemmerter Stephane; Van Den Hurk Andrew; Cooper Bob; Whelan Peter; Russell Richard; Johansen Cheryl; Beebe Nigel (Biomed Central, 2007)

Background: The mosquito Culex annulirostris Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) is the major vector of endemic arboviruses in Australia and is also responsible for the establishment of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in ...
The detection of Melissococcus pluton in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and their products using a hemi-nested PCR

Mckee Ben; Djordjevic Steven; Goodman Russell; Hornitzky Michael (E D P Sciences, 2003)

A hemi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was further developed for the detection of Melissococcus pluton in adult bees and honey bee products. A chloroform:isoamyl alcohol DNA extraction method was used to provide ...
The development of a toxicity data-base using freshwater macroinvertebrates, and its application to South African water resource protection.

Muller Wilhelmina; Palmer Carolyn; Gordon Andrew; Scherman Patrica; Pakhomova L; De Kock E; Davies-Coleman Heather (ASSAf, 2004)

There is a growing international trend towards the protection of freshwater resources from pollution by imposing instream guidelines and specified waste-discharge conditions. Current methods for devising freshwater ...
Effects of frond length on diverse gastropod assemblages in coralline turf

Kelaher Brendan (Cambridge Journals, 2003)

Habitat mimics were used to investigate the role of coralline algal frond length in determining spatial patterns in diverse gastropod assemblages on a rocky shore near Sydney, Australia. Frond length represents the vertical ...
Effects of river water and salinity on the toxicity of deltamethrin to freshwater shrimp, cladoceran, and fish

Thomas Carly; Hose Grant; Warne Michael; Lim Richard (Springer, 2008)

Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used extensively to control invertebrate pests on cotton and other crops. It is acutely toxic to nontarget aquatic organisms, but existing toxicity data are mostly from toxicity ...
Electrophysiological Analysis of the Neurotoxic Action of a Funnel-Web Spider Toxin, d-atracotoxin-Hv1a on Insect Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

The effects of d-ACTX-Hv1a, purified from the venom of the funnel-web spider Hadronyche versuta, were studied on the isolated giant axon and dorsal unpaired median (DUM) neurones of the cockroach Periplaneta americana under ...
Engineering thick tissues - the vascularisation problem

Ko Henry; Milthorpe Bruce; Mcfarland Clive (AO Foundation Switzerland, 2007)
