Defence traits vary across leaf ages in the thistles (Cardueae)

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce a variety of structural and chemical defences to deter herbivores, which can covary across every scale of biological organization. Along these lines, it has been suggested that young leaves differ from old leaves in their defence strategies, but studies ...

A monolithic and flexible fluoropolymer film microreactor for organic synthesis applications [PDF]

, 2019
A photocurable and viscous fluoropolymer with chemical stability is a highly desirable material for fabrication of microchemical devices. Lack of a reliable fabrication method, however, limits actual applications for organic reactions.

The 12 May 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan, China, Earthquake: Macroseismic Intensity Assessment Using the EMS-98 and ESI 2007 Scales and Their Correlation with the Geological Structure

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2010
The Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 in Sichuan Province, China, can be classified as a large-scale event based on the tectonic structures that triggered the earthquake and the effects caused on the human, structural, and natural environment. This paper presents the geotectonic and seismotectonic regime of the earthquake-affected region on the basis

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

De Stupro: First Insights on Rape and Its Prosecution in Maltese Courts (1701–10)

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article constitutes a first in‐depth investigation of rape and the prosecution of this crime in early eighteenth‐century Malta. The research, which is based on sixteen rape accusations claimed at the secular courts in Malta between 1701 and 1710, has analysed cases categorized as ‘simple rape’, ‘violent rape’ and rape committed under the ...

The Provenance of Silver in the Viking‐Age Hoard From Bedale, North Yorkshire

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The acquisition of silver was a key motive propelling the Viking expansion out of Scandinavia; identifying the sources of Viking silver during the early part of the Viking Age can provide critical insights into the relative significance of western European and eastern, Islamic wealth in the Viking expansion.

A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.
