We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

Tree-ring data from subalpine conifers in the southern Sierra Nevada were used to reconstruct temperature and precipitation back to A.D. 800. Tree growth of foxtail pine (Pinus balfouriana) and western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis ssp. australis)…

951 using 1,527 ring-width measurements from living trees and relict wood. The reconstruction is composed of larch data from four Alpine valleys in Switzerland and pine data from the western Austrian Alps. These regions are situated in high…

The spatial distribution of tree juveniles in relation to light environments may reflect species differences in growth, survival, and functional traits and will shape the nature of forest regeneration. Long-term field experiments are important to…
-
Living and subfossil trees from glacier forefields are used to develop a 1119-year-long tree-ring-width chronology. Strong cross-dating among ring-width series from sites up to 60 km apart and an analysis of sample homogeneity support combination of…

We present here the first high-resolution pollen record of vegetation response to interactions of hurricane and fire disturbances over the past 1200 yr from a small lake in Alabama on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The paleotempestological record…
-
The charcoal and pollen stratigraphy of an annually laminated sediment of a small lake in eastern Finland (63 degrees 10'N, 30 degrees 58'E) was examined, and found to cover a period of 1300 years. The region around the lake is remote and nowadays…

This research examines how the controls of fire episode frequency in the northern Sierra Nevada have varied at different temporal scales through the Holocene. A 5.5 m long sediment core was collected from Lily Pond, a ~2.5 ha lake in the General…
-
The first paleoecological analysis of a complete sedimentary record spanning the period from the late Pleistocene to the present from lowland Panama, documents changes in lowland vegetation communities through major climatic change and the onset of…

I used data from a 14 year survey of the amphibian fauna (14 species) in Jasper County, Indiana, USA, to detect population and diversity trends, and to test hypotheses regarding the influence of landscape, climatic, and biotic factors on amphibian…

Balancing selection preserves variation at the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) of flowering plants for tens of millions of years, making it possible to detect demographic events that occurred prior to the origin of extant species. In contrast…

We tested a N-15 tracer technique to assess fine root production and mortality based on temporal measurements of the N-15 mass in fine root structural tissues and the N-15 concentration of the plant-available soil N pool. The results of a pilot…

Chloride concentrations in the interstitial water of the unsaturated zone in dune sands of the Badain Jaran desert. northwestern China have been used to examine the recharge history over the last 2000 years using a chloride mass balance approach.…

We reconstruct prehistoric and historic human forest disturbance and vegetation change in southern Pacific Costa Rica, in the vicinity of the Las Cruces Biological Station and the La Amistad International Park and Biosphere Reserve. Pollen and…

In oak (Quercus) savannas in the Midwest region of the United States, fire Continues to play a significant role in its persistence within the landscape; however in southeastern Wisconsin, quantified fire history, records are limited. This Study…

The last 50 years of molecular genetics have produced an abundance of new discoveries and data that make it useful to revisit some basic concepts and assumptions in our thinking about genomes and evolution. Chief among these observations are the…

A 2200-yr long, high-resolution approximately 5 yr) record of drought variability in northwest Montana is inferred from diatoms and δ18O values of bio-induced carbonate preserved in a varved lacustrine core from Foy Lake. A previously developed…
