(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Although developing birds are vulnerable to extreme and erratic temperature conditions associated with climate change, parents have some ability to buffer these effects via incubation and postnatal behavior. However, parents ...
Long-Term Monitoring of Bat Populations in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Throughout the past few decades, North American bat species have experienced population declines due to White-Nose Syndrome, wind energy, climate change, and other factors. In North Dakota, the presence of wind energy, and ...
Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression Varies Throughout Development and During the Innate Immune Response of Tobacco Hornworm. Manduca sexta
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MI'v1Ps) are a family of conserved, proteolytic enzymes.
