Physiological basis of habitat partitioning in Jamaican Eleutherodactylus
(Springer: Oecologia, 1977-12)
Rate of evaporation, resistance to drying, temperature selection, and critical thermal maximum were measured for Jamaican Eleutherodactylus acclimated to 20° C and a 12:12 L:D photoperiod. Two introduced species, E. ...
Primary products and secondary reactions in the photodecomposition of methyl halides
(The American Chemical Society: The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1977-07-14)
CH3I, CH3Br, and CH3CI have been photolyzed at 184.9 nm and CH3I at 253.7 nm, using CO, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, C3D8, and CD4 as scavengers to assist in the identification of the primary decomposition products. The quantum yield ...
Ontogenetic change in molecular and functional properties of blood of garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis
(Wiley: Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1977-07)
At birth the blood of garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) has high oxygen affinity (P50 at 25°C and pH 7.2 = 21 mm Hg), low hematocrit (14%), and a high proportion of inactive hemoglobin (44%). Growth of the snakes is ...
Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of actinomycin D, ethidium bromide, and 9-aminoacridine complexes with dinucleotides
(The American Chemical Society: Biochemistry, 1977-06-28)
Phosphorus-3 1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of actinomycin D, ethidium bromide, and 9-aminoacridine complexes with deoxydinucleotides and ribodinucleoside monophosphates are reported. In the 2:1 pdGpdCactinomycin D ...
Acid precipitation and reproductive success of ambystoma salamanders
(Springer: Water, Air and Soil Pollution, 1977-03)
: The two species of mole salamander that occur in the Ithaca, New York, region (Ambystoma maculatum and A. jeffersonianum) breed in temporary ponds that are formed by accumulation of melted snow and spring rains. Water ...
Defective excision and postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA in a recL mutant strain of E. coli K-12
(Springer: Molecular and General Genetics, 1977-01)
The mutation recL152 leads to a reduction of excision repair as measured by an increase in the time required to close uvrA uvrB dependent incision breaks, and by a reduction of host cell reactivation ability. Postreplication ...
Ontogenetic change in blood oxygen capacity and maximum activity in garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis)
(Springer: Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1977-01)
There is an ontogenetic increase in the time that garter snakes (Thamnophis s. sirtalis) can maintain maximum activity at 25°C. Newborn snakes are exhausted by 3–5 min of activity while adults can be active for 20–25 min. ...
The dependence of postreplication repair on uvrB in a recF mutant of Escherichia coli K-12
(Springer: Molecular and General Genetics, 1977-01)
Summary Mutants carrying recF143 or recF144 show wild type levels of host cell reactivation of UV-irradiated lambda vir and wild type rates of excision gap closure in repairing UV damage to their own DNA. The same mutants ...
