Fish carcass deposition to suppress invasive lake trout through hypoxia causes limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates in Yellowstone Lake

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 470-483, December 2022., 2022
In Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, lake trout carcasses are used to suppress invasive lake trout embryos in an effort to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Using a field experiment, we determined that carcass treatment had limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates.

Species identification in fish meal from urban fisheries biomass with DNA metabarcoding analysis

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 562-571, December 2022., 2022
Fish species constructing fish meal (FM) made from urban fisheries biomass, which is fisheries by‐products collected downstream in the seafood supply chain were detected with a DNA metabarcoding method. 81–122 species were detected in the FM, and fish species indicated as Critically Endangered (CR) or Endangered (EN) on the International Union for ...

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Functional traits mediate individualistic species‐environment distributions at broad spatial scales while fine‐scale species associations remain unpredictable

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...

Holistic Analysis of Material Properties in Phylogenetically Diverse Spider Silks and Their Influence on Cell Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Translation of recombinant spider silks as fillers for nerve guidance conduits in long‐segment nerve reconstruction demands a detailed examination of native counterparts. Thus, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the material properties of four phylogenetically diverse spider silks and their impact on Schwann cell adhesion, pinpointing key ...

The relationship between chlorophyllous spores and mycorrhizal associations in ferns: evidence from an evolutionary approach

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 2068-2081, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Approximately 14% of all fern species have physiologically active chlorophyllous spores that are much more short‐lived than the more common and dormant achlorophyllous spores. Most chlorophyllous‐spored species (70%) are epiphytes and account for almost 37% of all epiphytic ferns.

Genome Mining Enabled by Biosynthetic Characterization Uncovers a Class of Benzoxazolinate‐Containing Natural Products in Diverse Bacteria

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 134, Issue 51, December 19, 2022., 2022
Benzoxazolinate is a rare bis‐heterocyclic moiety that interacts with proteins and DNA. It was found that a putative acyl AMP‐ligase mediates the last cyclization step to afford benzoxazolinate. The enzyme was then used as a probe for genome mining, which led to the discovery of a new class of benzoxazolinate‐containing compounds in diverse bacteria ...

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Multi‐Scaled Cellulosic Nanonetworks from Tunicates

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microbial and plant nanonetworks of cellulose have enabled a wide range of high‐performance yet sustainable materials. Herein, a third class of cellulosic nanonetworks is showcased by exploiting the only animal tissue‐producing cellulose nanofibers, i.e., ascidians. An ultrastructure including spherical cells and a microvasculature with diameters of 50–

Engineering Novel DNA Nanoarchitectures for Targeted Drug Delivery and Aptamer Mediated Apoptosis in Cancer Therapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Designer DNA Architecture‐templated Drug Conjugates (DDA‐DCs) are comprised of a DNA nanomaterial decorated with multiple drug‐loaded DNA aptamers. DDA‐DCs use a combination of multiple aptamer types, each recognizing a different membrane protein to achieve precise targeting of cancer cells.
