Isolation and Characterization of Chitinases From Dasypus Novemcinctus, the Nine-Banded Armadillo
The ability of armadillos to beak down chitin was investigated. Both indigenous and endogenous chitinases were studied. Armadillos were collected and samples of their gastric and pancreatic tissues were removed. Tissues were lyophilized and stored at -20° C until they could be resuspended in the …

Food Habits, Distribution and Impact of the Nine-Banded Armadillo in Missouri
Stomach analyses were done on forty-five armadillos taken in twelve southern Missouri counties. Coleoptera larvae and adults comprised 26.1-32.4% of the stomach contents by weight and 26.5-32.4% by volume for the fall, winter and spring seasons. Ants (Hymenoptera) made up 29.3% of the stomach …

Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Variation in Populations of the Nine-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)
Four populations of nine-banded armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, were investigated in the south-central United States in order to assess genetic variation in an isolated population (Electric Island, Lake Hamilton, Garland County, Arkansas); a semi-isolated population (Arkansas Post, Arkansas …

Developmental and Cellular Functions of Delta-Catenin
… delta-catenin likewise contains a central Armadillo-domain. In common with other p120 sub-class members, it acts in a variety of intracellular compartments and modulates cadherin stability, small GTPase activities and gene transcription. In mammals, delta-catenin exhibits neural specific …

Determining habitat preferences of Dasypus novemcinctus and assessing prevalence of Hansen's disease in Tennessee with assistance from community science data
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus L.) is currently considered an invasive species in parts of its range in the United States. As it continues to expand its range, more states may begin to consider armadillos an invasive or nuisance species and will need to make management decisions …

Anillin Stabilizes Membrane-cytoskeleton Interactions During Drosophila Male Germ Cell Cytokinesis
… defect. DE-cadherin-GFP recruits β-catenin (armadillo) and α-catenin to the cleavage furrow and stabilizes F-actin at the equator. Taken together, my results suggest that the anillin-septin and cadherin-catenin complexes can serve as alternative means to promote tight physical coupling of …
