Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of an allatostatin and a myosuppressin on midgut carbohydrate enzyme activity in the cockroach Diploptera punctata

TL;DR: In this organ, AST and LMS have at least two distinct physiological effects, and Dippu-AST is also able to inhibit proctolin-induced contractions of midgut muscle, and this action had already been described for LMS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classroom sound can be used to classify teaching practices in college science courses

Melinda T. Owens, +90 more
TL;DR: The development and application of the machine-learning–derived algorithm Decibel Analysis for Research in Teaching (DART), which can analyze thousands of hours of STEM course audio recordings quickly, with minimal costs, and without need for human observers is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of ecdysis in the moth Manduca sexta: the roles of the suboesophageal and thoracic ganglia.

TL;DR: CO(2) therefore appears to be a novel and non-invasive tool for studies of ecdysis behavior in insects and can uncouple the basic larval motor program from modulatory influences provided by the adult pterothoracic ganglion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Collectively Improving Our Teaching: Attempting Biology Department-wide Professional Development in Scientific Teaching.

TL;DR: A collaborative professional development program that engaged nearly 90% of faculty in a biology department in more than 40 hours of training on scientific teaching was instituted and reported positive effects on teaching and departmental community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the gene for leucomyosuppressin and its expression in the brain of the cockroach Diploptera punctata.

TL;DR: Investigation of the expression of the leucomyosuppressin gene in D. punctata brain indicates that expression occurs primarily in the pars intercerebralis of the protocerebrum, a region showing abundant FMRFamide-like immunoreactive neurosecretory cells.
