Freshwater Biodiversity and Aquatic Insect Diversification [PDF]
Annual Review of Entomology, 2014 Inland waters cover less than 1% of Earth's surface but harbor more than 6% of all insect species: Nearly 100,000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in freshwater. Little is known about how this remarkable diversity arose, although allopatric speciation and ecological adaptation are thought to be primary mechanisms.

ELL targets c-Myc for proteasomal degradation and suppresses tumour growth
Nature Communications, 2016 Increasing evidence supports that ELL (eleven–nineteen lysine-rich leukaemia) is a key regulator of transcriptional elongation, but the physiological function of Ell in mammals remains elusive.

A biodiversity‐inspired approach to aquatic ecosystem modeling
Limnology and Oceanography, 2007 Current aquatic ecosystem models accommodate increasing amounts of physiological detail, but marginalize the role of biodiversity by aggregating multitudes of different species. We propose that at present, understanding of aquatic ecosystems is likely to benefit more from improved descriptions of biodiversity and succession than from incorporation of ...
