Biodiversity Loss and the Taxonomic Bottleneck: Emerging Biodiversity Science [PDF]

, 2006
Human domination of the Earth has resulted in dramatic changes to global and local patterns of biodiversity. Biodiversity is critical to human sustainability because it drives the ecosystem services that provide the core of our life-support system. As we,

Conservation Science and Practice [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2013
We agree with Laurance et al. (2012) that conservation can gain when scientists and practitioners share perspectives. We suggest, however, that they already do. Individuals move between research and practitioner organisations, including parks agencies and NGO’s.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

An assessment of high carbon stock and high conservation value approaches to sustainable oil palm cultivation in Gabon

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Industrial-scale oil palm cultivation is rapidly expanding in Gabon, where it has the potential to drive economic growth, but also threatens forest, biodiversity and carbon resources.

Semiclassical Time Evolution of the Holes from Luttinger Hamiltonian

, 2004
We study the semi-classical motion of holes by exact numerical solution of the Luttinger model. The trajectories obtained for the heavy and light holes agree well with the higher order corrections to the abelian and the non-abelian adiabatic theories in ...

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Fine‐tuning established morphometric models through citizen science data

Conservation Science and Practice
For globally threatened species, patchy data pose challenges in both establishing historical baselines and assessing current distributions. In the case of sawfishes, much previous research has relied on amputated trophy rostra or historical photographs ...
