Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system

, 2018
Roughly 3% of the Earth’s land surface burns annually, representing a critical exchange of energy and matter between the land and atmosphere via combustion.

Innate immune pattern recognition: a cell biological perspective.

Annual Review of Immunology, 2015
Receptors of the innate immune system detect conserved determinants of microbial and viral origin. Activation of these receptors initiates signaling events that culminate in an effective immune response.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Foraging flight distances of wintering ducks and geese: a review

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2014
The distance covered by foraging animals, especially those that radiate from a central area when foraging, may affect ecosystem, community, and population dynamics, and has conservation and landscape planning implications for multiple taxa, including ...

Control of Oscillation Patterns in a Symmetric Coupled Biological Oscillator System [PDF]

, 2003
A chain of three-oscillator system was constructed with living biological oscillators of phasmodial slime mold, Physarum polycehalum and the oscillation patterns were analyzed by the symmetric Hopf bifurcation theory using group theory.

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

The influence of mental calculations on brain regions and heart rates

Scientific Reports
Performing mathematical calculations is a cognitive activity that can affect biological signals. This study aims to examine the changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of 36 healthy subjects during the performance of ...

Insect herbivory dampens Subarctic birch forest C sink response to warming

Nature Communications, 2020
Warming is expected to increase C sink capacity in high-latitude ecosystems, but plant-herbivore interactions could moderate or offset this effect. Here, Silfver and colleagues test individual and interactive effects of warming and insect herbivory in a ...
