Mechanisms underlying Retinoic acid-induced chemoattraction in molluscan neurons
(Brock University, 2010-10-25)
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to play diverse roles in development
and regeneration. Previous research in the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis has shown that a
gradient of all-trans retinoic acid ...
Characterizing the impact of multiple potential enemies (predators and parasites) on the behaviour of ranid tadpoles
(Brock University, 2010-10-26)
In order to fully understand an organism's behaviours the interactions between
multiple enemies or selective pressures need to be considered, as these interactions are
usually far more complex than the simple addition ...
The nesting biology of Ceratina (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the Niagara Region : new species, nest site selection and parasitism
(Brock University, 2010-10-27)
One of the most common bee genera in the Niagara Region, the genus Ceratina
(Hymenoptera: Apidae) is composed of four species, C. dupla, C. calcarata, the very rare
C. strenua, and a previously unknown species ...
The effect of lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) on α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) binding to lipid membranes
(Brock University, 2010-03-09)
The a-tocopherol transfer protein (a-TTP) is responsible for the retention of the atocopherol
form of vitamin E in living organisms. The detailed ligand transfer
mechanism by a-TTP is still yet to be fully elucidated. ...
