Poxvirus A51R Proteins Directly Bind to Microtubules to Antagonize Microtubule Dynamics, Intracellular Transport, and a Cell-intrinsic Antiviral Response

Seo, Da Hee2026

… network to facilitate their replication inside host cells. Poxvirus A51R proteins have been shown to colocalize with, and bundle, MTs, but the mechanisms of their MT interactions remained unclear. Additionally, vaccinia virus (VV), a model poxvirus, utilizes kinesin motor proteins on MTs to …

Stress, sexual signaling, and alternative mating tactics in male green treefrogs, Hyla cinerea

Crocker-Buta, Sarah2020

… male mating behavior by performing a satellite-host manipulation experiment in which I removed the calling host male from the satellite-caller association and observed whether satellite males began to call or continued to exhibit non-calling behavior. Results indicated that satellites were …

Behavioral ecology of juvenile brown-headed cowbirds: implications for the evolution and maintenance of avian brood parasitism

McKim-Louder, Matt I.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

… on heterospecifics to raise parasitic offspring. Host-parasite coevolutionary arms races and the constraints associated with a non-parasitic bird transitioning to a parasite likely contribute to the rarity of this reproductive strategy (ca. 1% of species). For my dissertation, I conducted research …

Nest Predation by brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater)

Swan, David CThe University of Western Ontario2018

… dependent on their ability to encounter suitable hosts. Obligate brood parasitic birds may increase host encounter rate, and consequently their reproductive output, if they cause unsuitable late-stage host nests to fail thereby stimulating the host to create another nest that they can parasitize. …

The interactions of the cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein with the viral 1a and host Argonaute 1 proteins

Crawshaw, SamuelUniversity of Cambridge2023

… large part to its physical interaction with the host RNA silencing factor Argonaute 1 (AGO1). The consequent inhibition of AGO1 activity induces developmental symptoms such as stunting and organ deformation in CMV-infected plants. In *Arabidopsis thaliana*, if 2b-induced inhibition of AGO1 is too …
