Fishes of the Streams of Acadia National Park, Maine
(2021-05-05)
Acadia National Park (ANP) is a non-continuous conglomerate of park lands interspersed with private lands, which is located mainly on Mount Desert Island, ME. Surveys of fishes in ANP have largely ignored or under-sampled ...
Data for A chromosome-level genome assembly for the Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus), a reptile model for physiological and evolutionary ecology
(2021-04-16)
Background: High-quality genomic resources facilitate investigations into behavioral ecology, morphological and physiological adaptations, and the evolution of genomic architecture. Lizards in the genus Sceloporus have a ...
Images of natural comb

Heat-induced maternal effects shapes avian eggshell traits and embryo response to high temperatures
(2021-03-29)
Populations without a sufficient rate of genetic adaptation may risk extinction in the face of rapid environmental change, however, phenotypic plasticity can facilitate their persistence. For example, mothers can prepare ...
Increased cellular free cholesterol in macrophage-specific Abca1 knock-out mice enhances pro-inflammatory response of macrophages
(2021-03-23)
Macrophage-specific Abca1 knock-out (Abca1(-M/-M)) mice were generated to determine the role of macrophage ABCA1 expression in plasma lipoprotein concentrations and the innate immune response of macrophages. Plasma lipid ...
Data from: Dumpsters and other human structures as habitat for invasive African rock agama lizards in Florida
(2021-03-22)
Invasive species often use habitat differently than native species and can benefit by using underutilized habitats during the invasion process. The Peter’s Rock Agama (Agama picticauda) — native to savannahs of sub-Saharan ...
Politics a "Chilly" Environment for Undergraduate Women in Norway
(2021-03-22)
Gender differences in academic performance and attitudes are widespread in male-stereotyped disciplines but rarely are studied in the social sciences. To assess the extent that gender influences the behavior of undergraduate ...
Indirect Impacts of Recreational Scuba Diving: Patterns of Growth and Predation in Branching Stony Corals
(2021-01-27)
The highest recorded rates of recreational SCUBA diving occur on coral reefs
at Eilat in the northern Red Sea, where many scleractinian corals are damaged by
physical contact with divers. We compared coral skeletal growth ...
Anatomy of the Laminar Organs of Commelina erecta (Commelinaceae)
(2021-01-27)
A study was undertaken to compare the anatomy of the laminar floral parts with that of the spathes and leaves of Commelina erecta L. Each flower has two types of petals and two types of sepals. In contrast to the other ...
Electron binding energies and Dyson orbitals of Al(5)O(m)(-) (m=3,4,5) and Al(5)O(5)H(2)(-)
(2021-01-26)
Photoelectron spectra of Al5Om
− m=3–5 and of the anion produced by the dissociative adsorption
of a water molecule by Al5O4
− are interpreted with density-functional geometry optimizations and
electron-propagator ...
Assessment of transition operator reference states in electron propagator calculations
(2021-01-26)
The transition operator method combined with second-order, self-energy corrections to the electron
propagator TOEP2 may be used to calculate valence and core-electron binding energies. This
method is tested on a set of ...
OH3- and O2H5- double Rydberg anions: Predictions and comparisons with NH4- and N2H7-
(2021-01-26)
A low barrier in the reaction pathway between the double Rydberg isomer of OH3
− and a
hydride-water complex indicates that the former species is more difficult to isolate and characterize
through anion photoelectron ...
Surface Green’s function calculations: A nonrecursive scheme with an infinite number of principal layers
(2021-01-26)
A novel computational method for a surface Green’s function matrix is introduced for the
calculation of electrical current in molecular wires. The proposed nonrecursive approach includes an
infinite number of principal ...
Sequential addition of H2O, CH3OH, and NH3 to Al3O3-: A theoretical study
(2021-01-26)
Photoelectron spectra of two species, Al3O3(H2O)(2)(-) and Al3O3(CH3OH)(2)(-), that are produced by the addition of two water or methanol molecules to Al3O3- are interpreted with density-functional geometry optimizations ...
Integral approximations in ab initio, electron propagator calculations
(2021-01-26)
Treatments of interelectronic repulsion that avoid four-center integrals have been incorporated in ab
initio, electron-propagator calculations with diagonal self-energy matrices. Whereas the formal
scaling of arithmetic ...
Partial photoionization cross sections of and Rydberg radicals
(2021-01-26)
ammonium and oxonium Rydberg radicals from the outermost, occupied orbitals of their respective
ground states are reported. These properties are known to be relevant in photoelectron dynamics
studies. For the present ...
Delocalized water and fluoride contributions to Dyson orbitals for electron detachment from the hydrated fluoride anion
(2021-01-26)
The experimental vertical electron detachment energy VEDE of aqueous fluoride, F− H2O , is
approximately 9.8 eV, but spectral assignment is complicated by interference between F− 2p and
H2O 1b1 orbitals. The electronic ...
Quasiparticle virtual orbitals in electron propagator calculations
(2021-01-26)
The computational limits of accurate electron propagator methods for the calculation of electron
