HOST MATTER: Parasite infection drives chemical reconfiguration of decomposing host and shapes insect behavioural responses

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host–parasite interactions shape ecosystems by driving species dynamics, yet their influence is typically considered in terms of host mortality rather than the chemical environments generated during infection and decomposition.

Root‐associated fungi modulate plant recruitment in Mediterranean forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Established plants affect directly and indirectly the success of juvenile plants recruiting in their close vicinity, what is defined as a canopy–recruit interaction. Such interactions affect plant species demography and community dynamics.

Role of kinin and renal ANG II blockade in acute effects of ACE inhibitors in low-renin hypertension

open access: yes, 1997
In conscious deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) salt-hypertensive dogs, the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors captopril and imidaprilat significantly decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP) and significantly increased urine flow rate ...

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Preoperative prediction of remnant renal function in nephron-sparing surgery: the usefulness of 99mTc-mercapto-acetyl-triglycine scintigraphy

open access: yes, 2008
術前後の99m Tc-MAG3を用いた腎動態シンチグラフィによる患側残存腎機能の術前予測における有用性を, 腎部分切除施行例について回帰的に検討した。対象は腎腫瘍と診断されて腎温存手術を施行した症例のうち, 腫瘍占拠部分が腎内部でなく外方に突出して術後の残存腎形状が十分予測できた10例とした。その結果, 1)99m Tc-MAG3で測定したvalues of remnant renal plasma flow(ERPF)術前残存腎予測値とERPF術後残存腎実測値の間には, 強い相関が認められた。2 ...

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

ZAN, IZUMO1, and TMEM95 Protein Domains Identify the Physiological Status of the Sperm

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a growing concern, which has led to an increase in the use of assisted reproductive techniques, involving in vitro sperm capacitation. Nonetheless, the optimal capacitation time remains a matter of debate, and it is unknown whether it has an impact on the localization of key membrane proteins.

Space–time interference in magnitude judgements revealed by drift‐diffusion modelling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space and time are strongly interrelated in human cognition: spatial extent can bias temporal judgements, whereas duration can influence perceived spatial extent. However, the mechanisms underlying these reciprocal effects remain debated. We investigated these interactions using psychophysical measures, individual difference analyses and drift‐

Identifying regulatory muscle processes in infantile and adult Pompe patients using a multi‐omic and morphological approach

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
The study highlights differences in the regulatory processes of skeletal muscle, such as sarcomeric contractility, lysosomal and autophagic function, metabolic activity and immune regulation, at transcriptomic and proteomic levels in infantile and adult Pompe disease.

The Change of the Split Renal Function Before and After a Nephrectomy Using Tc-Mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3)

open access: yes
Objective : We examined the change in the renal function in the normal side kidney before and after a nephrectomy, by means of a newly developed diuretic renography technique utilizing Tc 99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3). Materials and methods : Forty
