The unexpected family transition for single father families: A grounded theory approach (2009)

Harrison, Robert L

This research was designed to explore the transition to single-father families from the perspective of fathers and their children. A grounded theory was developed from interviews with children of...

Construction and characterization of new piggyBacvectors for constitutive or inducible expression of heterologous gene pairs and the identification of a previously unrecognized activator sequence in piggyBac (2007)

Shi, Xianzong, Harrison, Robert L, Hollister, Jason R, Mohammed, Ahmed, Fraser, Malcolm J, Jarvis, Donald L

Abstract Background We constructed and characterized several new piggyBac vectors to provide transposition of constitutively- or inducibly-expressible heterologous gene pairs. The dual constitutive...

RANGE EXPANSION OF RED FOXES IN NORTHWESTERN TEXAS AND NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO (2005)

Jan F. Kamler, Warren B. Ballard, Robert L. Harrison, C. Gregory Schmitt

We recently collected specimens of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in northwestern Texas and northeastern New Mexico that extend the known range of this species in both states. In Texas, the new record...

Adult male emigration and a female-based social organization in swift foxes, Vulpes velox (2004)

Kamler, Jan F., Ballard, Warren B., Gese, Eric M., Harrison, Robert L., Karki, Seija, Mote, Kevin

Members of the family Canidae are distinguished from other carnivore families by pair bonding and male care of the young. Because of the importance of food provisioning and territorial defiance by...

Indexing Swift Fox Populations in New Mexico Using Scats (2004)

ROBERT L. HARRISON, CHRISTINE M. CLARKE

We examined collection of scats (feces) as a survey method for indexing statewide populations of swift foxes (Vulpes velox). We searched for scats on 99 transects throughout the range of swift foxes...

FOXES, FLEAS, AND PLAGUE IN NEW MEXICO (2003)

Robert L. Harrison, Michael J. Patrick, C. Gregory Schmitt

We identified species of fleas found in New Mexico on kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis), swift foxes (V. velox), red foxes (V. vulpes), and gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). Pulex irritans and P....

SWIFT FOX DEMOGRAPHY, MOVEMENTS, DENNING, AND DIET IN NEW MEXICO (2003)

Robert L. Harrison

As a signatory of the Conservation Assessment and Conservation Strategy for Swift Fox, the state of New Mexico is required to manage swift foxes (Vulpes velox) with special diligence. However, basic...

A Comparison of Population Survey Techniques for Swift Foxes (Vulpes velox) in New Mexico (2002)

ROBERT L. HARRISON, DANIEL J. BARR, JERRY W. DRAGOO

We compared survey techniques for estimating relative and absolute abundances of swift foxes (Vulpes velox) in New Mexico. For relative abundance surveys, the most efficient technique is collection...

Mutations within the Autographa californica Nucleopolyhedrovirus FP25K Gene Decrease the Accumulation of ODV-E66 and Alter Its Intranuclear Transport

Braunagel, Sharon C., Burks, Jared K., Rosas-Acosta, German, Harrison, Robert L., Ma, H., Summers, M. D.

Previous reports indicate that mutations within the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrosis virus FP25K gene (open reading frame 61) significantly reduce incorporation of enveloped nucleocapsids...
