Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Turning the Tables: Leveraging Purpose as a Strategic Advantage for SMEs

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When executed well, purpose can become a transformative force, turning a business into a breakout success. Despite the wave of purpose‐driven businesses in recent years, the concept of purpose remains underdeveloped. Purpose is a core component of business models but is difficult to retrofit into large corporations, which makes it especially ...

Fail to Win: How Schadenfreude and Competitive Traits Predict Download Intention in Mobile Game Fail Ads

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In mobile game advertising, failure‐depicting advertisements, which intentionally showcase unsuccessful gameplay scenarios, have emerged as an unexpectedly effective promotional strategy. This study examines the psychological mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of fail advertisements, with particular attention to the emotional response of ...

“The POW Will Safely Return!”: Second World War Allied and German Propoganda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During the Second World War, both the Allied and Axis governments expended significant resources in the production and dissemination of propoganda. Directed at their own people, the propoganda of these governments fostered correct thinking, feelings ...

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...
