Intraspecific phytochemical variation shapes community and population structure for specialist caterpillars
(2016)
Chemically mediated plant-herbivore interactions contribute to the diversity of terrestrial communities and the diversification of plants and insects. While our understanding of the processes affecting community structure ...
High Triglycerides Are Associated with Low Thrombocyte Counts and High VEGF in Nephropathia Epidemica
(2016)
Nephropathia epidemica (NE) is a mild formof hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Several reports have demonstrated a severe alteration in lipoproteinmetabolism. However, little is known about changes in circulating ...
Differential Contributions of Olfactory Receptor Neurons in a Drosophila Olfactory Circuit
(2016)
The ability of an animal to detect, discriminate, and respond to odors depends on the functions of its olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). The extent to which each ORN, upon activation, contributes to chemotaxis is not well ...
ISL1-based LIM complexes control Slit2 transcription in developing cranial motor neurons
(2016)
LIM-homeodomain (HD) transcription factors form a multimeric complex and assign neuronal subtype identities, as demonstrated by the hexameric ISL1-LHX3 complex which gives rise to somatic motor (SM) neurons. However, the ...
miR-124 Regulates the Phase of Drosophila Circadian Locomotor Behavior
(2016)
Animals use circadian rhythms to anticipate daily environmental changes. Circadian clocks have a profound effect on behavior. In Drosophila, for example, brain pacemaker neurons dictate that flies are mostly active at dawn ...
Estimating species richness using environmental DNA
(2016)
The foundation for any ecological study and for the effective management of biodiversity in natural systems requires knowing what species are present in an ecosystem. We assessed fish communities in a stream using two ...
Guidance on the Use of Best Available Science under the US Endangered Species Act
(2016)
The Endangered Species Act's best available science mandate has been widely emulated and reflects a Congressional directive to ensure that decisions made under the Act are informed by reliable knowledge applied using a ...
A mast-seeding desert shrub regulates population dynamics and behavior of its heteromyid dispersers
(2016)
Granivorous rodent populations in deserts are primarily regulated through precipitation-driven resource pulses rather than pulses associated with mast-seeding, a pattern more common in mesic habitats. We studied heteromyid ...
Essentiality Is a Strong Determinant of Protein Rates of Evolution during Mutation Accumulation Experiments in Escherichia coli
(2016)
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution is considered the most powerful theory to understand the evolutionary behavior of proteins. One of the main predictions of this theory is that essential proteins should evolve ...
The Molecular Chaperone DnaK Is a Source of Mutational Robustness
(2016)
Molecular chaperones, also known as heat-shock proteins, refold misfolded proteins and help other proteins reach their native conformation. Thanks to these abilities, some chaperones, such as the Hsp90 protein or the ...
