Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Organic farming and gene transfer from genetically modified crops [PDF]
, 1999 This is the final report of MAFF/Defra project OF0157. Genetically modified (GM) crops cannot be released into the environment and used as food, feed, medicines or industrial processing before they have passed through a rigorous and internationally ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article argues that European Union (EU) peacebuilding scholarship can benefit from organizational research on the socio‐spatial dynamics of policy implementation. It introduces a strategic‐relational heuristic to address two key gaps: the marginalization of grassroots agency in spatial analyses and the separation of strategy from ...

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.Warming caused a significant decrease in monarch fat mass, likely due to an observed reduction in sucrose concentration caused by warming of the nectar. Since sucrose fuels fall migration and overwintering, our results suggest climate warming may reduce migration success and overwinter survival.

Forecasting the Adoption of GM Oilseed Rape: Evidence from a Discrete Choice Experiment [PDF]
This paper explores farmers’ willingness to adopt genetically modified oilseed rape prior to its commercial release and estimates the ‘demand’ for the new technology. The analysis is based upon choice experiments with 202 German arable farmers.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Cattle grazing meadow fescue pasture in remnant oak savanna near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Abstract Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity.

Cumulative individual seed production in the polycarpic Caesalpinia gilliesii (Fabaceae): effects of temporal variability in floral display, plant density and pollination [PDF]
, 2016 In polycarpic species, floral display size and density of conspecific neighbours are time variable as well as their effects on pollination and fecundity.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...
