Conservation of σ28-Dependent Non-Coding RNA Paralogs and Predicted σ54-Dependent Targets in Thermophilic Campylobacter Species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Assembly of flagella requires strict hierarchical and temporal control via flagellar sigma and anti-sigma factors, regulatory proteins and the assembly complex itself, but to date non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have not been described to regulate genes ...

Cattle grazing and conservation of a meadow-dependent amphibian species in the Sierra Nevada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 World-wide population declines have sharpened concern for amphibian conservation on working landscapes. Across the Sierra Nevada's national forest lands, where almost half of native amphibian species are considered at risk, permitted livestock grazing is

Win‐wins for biodiversity and ecosystem service conservation depend on the trophic levels of the species providing services [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018 Abstract Confronted by significant impacts to ecosystems world‐wide, decision makers face the challenge of maintaining both biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services (ES). However, the objectives of managing biodiversity and supplying ES may not always be in concert, resulting in the need for trade‐offs. Understanding these potential trade‐

Effects of traditional flood irrigation on invertebrates in lowland meadows. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lowland meadow irrigation used to be widespread in Central Europe, but has largely been abandoned during the 20th century. As a result of agri-environment schemes and nature conservation efforts, meadow irrigation is now being re-established in some ...
