The nature and role of experiential knowledge for environmental conservation

, 2010
Understanding the nature and role of experiential knowledge for environmental conservation is a necessary step towards understanding if it should be used and how it might be applied with other types of knowledge in an evidence-based approach.

Evaluating the role of coral trophic strategies in driving community shifts in response to heat stress via stable isotopes-based modeling

BMC Biology
Background Corals are increasingly threatened by global climate change, which may lead to shifts in their community on geographic scales. Reef-building corals are mixotrophic and may increase heterotrophy to bolster their resilience to environmental ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Biochar-loaded AM fungi coupled with Arundo donax enable targeted red mud remediation via valency—specific metal detoxification and soil function recovery

Biochar
Red mud, a saline-alkaline and metal-contaminated byproduct, poses severe ecological risks. This study elucidates the synergistic remediation mechanisms of biochar (BC) combined with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in an Arundo donax-soil system.

Conspecific odor cues induce different vocal responses in serrate-legged small treefrogs, but only in the absence of acoustic signals

Frontiers in Zoology, 2021
Background Signal detection is crucial to survival and successful reproduction, and animals often modify behavioral decisions based on information they obtained from the social context.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Restoration of boreal wetlands increases bat activity [PDF]

Wetlands are important habitats for insectivorous bats, as the presence of water promotes insect abundance and provides drinking water for wildlife, and therefore could promote bat conservation.

Polypropylene and Polylactic Acid Microplastics Alter Plateau Wetland Seed Bank Emergence and Community Assembly: A Greenhouse Stress Test Experiment

Plants
Microplastic contamination has emerged as a growing concern for soil ecosystems and their ecological functioning. However, the effects of microplastic contamination in fragile plateau wetlands remain poorly understood.
