Highly evolvable malaria vectors: The genomes of 16 Anopheles mosquitoes
- D. Neafsey, R. Waterhouse, +117 authors Nora J. Besansky
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 1 November 2014
INTRODUCTION Control of mosquito vectors has historically proven to be an effective means of eliminating malaria. Human malaria is transmitted only by mosquitoes in the genus Anopheles, but not all… Expand
DNA Extraction from Dry Museum Beetles without Conferring External Morphological Damage
- M. Gilbert, W. Moore, L. Melchior, M. Worobey
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 7 March 2007
Background A large number of dry-preserved insect specimens exist in collections around the world that might be useful for genetic analyses. However, until now, the recovery of nucleic acids from… Expand
Dramatic response to climate change in the Southwest: Robert Whittaker's 1963 Arizona Mountain plant transect revisited
- R. Brusca, J. F. Wiens, +4 authors W. Moore
- Geography, Medicine
- Ecology and evolution
- 13 August 2013
Models analyzing how Southwestern plant communities will respond to climate change predict that increases in temperature will lead to upward elevational shifts of montane species. We tested this… Expand
Esophageal Microbiome in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Objective The microbiome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of allergic and inflammatory diseases. The mucosa affected by eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is composed of a stratified… Expand

- Biology
- 1 July 2008
ABSTRACT Western Hemisphere species of bombardier beetles in the carabid tribe Ozaenini are distributed from southern Arizona and southern Texas to southern Chile, with more than 80% of described… Expand
Explosive Adaptive Radiation and Extreme Phenotypic Diversity within Ant-Nest Beetles
- W. Moore, J. A. Robertson
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 20 October 2014
Ant-nest beetles (Paussus) are the quintessential Trojan horses of the insect world. They hack the complex communication system of ants, allowing them to blend into the ant society and be treated as… Expand
Phylogeny of Paussus L. (Carabidae: Paussinae): unravelling morphological convergence associated with myrmecophilous life histories
- J. A. Robertson, W. Moore
- Biology
- 1 January 2017
Ant nest beetles (Paussus L.) are ecologically fascinating and phenotypically bizarre. Obligate myrmecophiles, Paussus have undergone extreme adaptations for life with ants and their profound range… Expand

Novel Device to Sample the Esophageal Microbiome—The Esophageal String Test
A growing number of studies implicate the microbiome in the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation. Previous work has shown that adults with esophagitis related to gastroesophageal reflux disease… Expand
Design for ground beetle abundance and diversity sampling within the National Ecological Observatory Network
- D. Hoekman, Katherine E. LeVan, +14 authors T. Work
- Biology
- 1 April 2017
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) will monitor ground beetle populations across a network of broadly distributed sites because beetles are prevalent in food webs, are sensitive to… Expand
