Are the Rights of Nature the Only Way to Save Lough Neagh?

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Northern Ireland's Lough Neagh—the UK and Ireland's largest freshwater lake—recently hit the headlines owing to an ecological crisis caused by the level of pollutants entering its waters. With political attention drawn to the lough, an emerging idea amongst environmental activists—inspired by the global ‘rights of nature’ (RoN) movement—is ...

Variations in abundance and community composition of denitrifying bacteria during a cyanobacterial bloom in a eutrophic shallow lake in China

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
Although cyanobacterial blooms can change microbial communities, it is still unclear what impact such harmful blooms will have on denitrifying bacteria, the drivers of the removal of excessive nitrogen from water.

Unexpected evolutionary proximity of eukaryotic and cyanobacterial enzymes responsible for biosynthesis of retinoic acid and its oxidation [PDF]

, 2014
Biosynthesis of retinoic acid from retinaldehyde (retinal) is catalysed by an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and its oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs).

Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

The toxic effects of meta‐tyrosine are related to its misincorporation into the proteome and to altered metabolism in cyanobacteria

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study reveals that meta‐tyrosine (m‐Tyr), a nonproteinogenic analog of aromatic amino acids, disrupts protein synthesis and photosynthesis in cyanobacteria by being misincorporated by Phenylalanyl‐tRNA synthetase (PheRS) into essential proteins. Through molecular, biochemical, and proteomic analyses in Synechocystis, the research shows that m‐Tyr ...
