Freshwater Reservoir, Ecological Traps and Source-Sink Dynamics
Odonata are biodiversity indicators that adequately represent many aquatic and semi-aquatic animal species. We recorded over two field seasons a rich lentic community of Odonata (18 species) in a large artificial freshwater reservoir (ca. 55 ha) built 40

Identification of a Gene, Desiccate, Contributing to Desiccation Resistance in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Suitable alterations in gene expression are believed to allow animals to survive drastic changes in environmental conditions. Drosophila melanogaster larvae cease eating and exit moist food to search for dry pupation sites after the foraging stage in what is known as the wandering stage.

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Effects of temperature and desiccation on survival rate of haemonchus contortus infective larval stage [PDF]
Small ruminants are among the most commonly farmed livestock in Bulgaria. The climate and geographic conditions and pastoral way of growing lead to higher infestation of herds by variety of soil-transmitted helminths. The most spread nematodes are gastro-

Induction of desiccation tolerance in desiccation sensitive Citrus limon seeds [PDF]
AbstractMany economically important perennial species bear recalcitrant seeds, including tea, coffee, cocoa, mango, citrus, rubber, oil palm and coconut. Orthodox seeds can be dried almost completely without losing viability, but so‐called recalcitrant seeds have a very limited storage life and die upon drying below a higher critical moisture content ...

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Ionotropic Receptor-dependent moist and dry cells control hygrosensation in Drosophila
Insects use hygrosensation (humidity sensing) to avoid desiccation and, in vectors such as mosquitoes, to locate vertebrate hosts. Sensory neurons activated by either dry or moist air (‘dry cells’ and ‘moist cells’) have been described in many insects ...

Respiration in Relation to Adenosine Triphosphate Content during Desiccation and Rehydration of a Desiccation-tolerant and a Desiccation-intolerant Moss [PDF]
O(2) consumption by the desiccation-tolerant moss Tortula ruralis and the desiccation-intolerant Cratoneuron filicinum increased markedly during the latter stages of desiccation. ATP content of the mosses during desiccation was not correlated with O(2) consumption, but was influenced by the rate at which the mosses lost water.
