The deep biosphere contains a large Jumpsuits portion of the total microbial communities on Earth, but little is known about the carbon sources that support deep life.In this study, we used Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) and high throughput amplicon sequencing to identify the acetate assimilating microbial communities at 2260 m depth in the bedrock o

Diet, Prey Selection, and Body Condition of Age-0 Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, in the Upper San Francisco Estuary
Steven B.Slater and Randall D.Baxterdoi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2014v12iss3art1The Delta Smelt, an endangered fish, has suffered Refill Bronzer a long-term decline in abundance, believed to result from, in part, to changes in the pelagic food web of the upper San Francisco Estuary.To investigate the current role of food as a factor in Del
Ultrastructural Changes and Bacterial Localization in Buffalo Calves Following Oral Exposure to Pasteurella multocida B:2
This study describes the ultrastructural changes and distribution of P.multocida B:2 in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of buffalo calves following oral exposure and compared with intratracheal exposure.Nine 8-month old buffalo calves were divided into 3 groups.At the start of the experiment, dexamethasone (1mg/kg) was injected intramus
Adaptation to abundant low quality food improves the ability to compete for limited rich food in Drosophila melanogaster.
The rate of food consumption is a major factor affecting success in scramble competition for a limited amount of easy-to-find food.Accordingly, several studies report positive genetic correlations between larval competitive ability and feeding rate in Drosophila; both become enhanced in Jumpsuits populations evolving under larval crowding.Here, we
