Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of Flow Cytometry to Characterize Bacterial Physiological Responses
TL;DR: How FCM has been applied to characterize distinct physiological conditions in bacteria including responses to antibiotics and other cytotoxic chemicals and physical factors, pathogen-host interactions, cell differentiation during biofilm formation, and the mechanisms governing development pathways such as sporulation is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wing pigmentation, immune ability, fat reserves and territorial status in males of the rubyspot damselfly, Hetaerina americana
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of immune-based assumptions were tested in the territorial damselfly Hetaerina americana, whose males bear wing pigmentation patterns, which are maintained via male-male competition.
