Spatio-temporal co-occurrence of alien and native molluscs : a modelling approach using physical-chemical predictors [PDF]
, 2017 The invasion of alien species can have serious economic and ecological impacts. Ecologically, invasions often lead to an increased rate of native species replacement and decreased biodiversity.

Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]
, 2010 Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.

The nitrilase PtNIT1 catabolizes herbivore-induced nitriles in Populus trichocarpa
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Nitrilases are nitrile-converting enzymes commonly found within the plant kingdom that play diverse roles in nitrile detoxification, nitrogen recycling, and phytohormone biosynthesis.

Phosphorylation via PKC regulates the function of the Drosophila odorant coreceptor
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011 Insect odorant receptors (ORs) have a unique design of heterodimers formed by an olfactory receptor protein and the ion channel Orco. Heterologously expressed insect ORs are activated via an ionotropic and a metabotropic pathway that leads to cAMP ...

Potential phytotoxic and shading effects of invasive Fallopia (Polygonaceae) taxa on the germination of dominant native species [PDF]
, 2011 Two species of the genus Fallopia (F. sachalinensis, F. japonica, Polygonaceae) native to Asia, and their hybrid (F. ×bohemica), belong to the most noxious plant invaders in Europe.

Calmodulin affects sensitization of Drosophila melanogaster odorant receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Flying insects have developed a remarkably sensitive olfactory system to detect faint and turbulent odor traces. This ability is linked to the olfactory receptors class of odorant receptors (ORs), occurring exclusively in winged insects.
