How Will Environmental Conditions Affect Species Distribution and Survival in the Coming Decades—A Review

open access: yesDiversity
Species are disappearing worldwide and the expectation is that this will increase in the future. This review summarizes information on the reasons for the global reduction in biodiversity and what might happen in the future. The literature indicates that

Patterns of Monarch Site Occupancy and Dynamics in Iowa

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is the focus of large-scale habitat restoration efforts because of recent population declines. From 2006-2017 we monitored monarchs at >400 sites throughout Iowa to link site occupancy and colonization ...

Reddening Behaviors of Galaxies in the SDSS Photometric System

open access: yes, 2008
We analyze the behaviors of reddening vectors in the SDSS photometric system for galaxies of different morphologies, ages, and redshifts. As seen in other photometric systems, the dependence of reddening on the spectral energy distribution (SED) and the ...

DENTA: A Dual Enzymatic Nanoagent for Self‐Activating Tooth Whitening and Biofilm Disruption

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The nanoapatite with dual enzymes (DENTA) accumulates in dentinal tubules, reducing hypersensitivity caused by dental nerve exposure and facilitating continuous ROS generation through salivary glucose for effective, long‐term whitening. The dentin structures remain non‐destructive due to the low concentration of ROS, demonstrating excellent cell ...

Nitrogen Pollution and the Meltdown of Urban Ecosystems

open access: yesLand, 2016
Urban ecosystems are carrying an extinction debt. Mitigating this debt will require the development of a predictive framework that improves our understanding of the factors causing decline of native biodiversity in urban areas. I argue that nitrogen is a

Extinction rates of established spatial populations

open access: yes, 2011
This paper deals with extinction of an isolated population caused by intrinsic noise. We model the population dynamics in a "refuge" as a Markov process which involves births and deaths on discrete lattice sites and random migrations between neighboring ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐Assisted Microrobots for Fast and Ultrasensitive “On‐The‐Fly” Next‐Generation DNA Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents self‐propelled CRISPR/Cas9‐functionalized Au–MRs for rapid, amplification‐free, “on‐the‐fly” DNA detection. By harnessing motion‐assisted signal recovery, the platform achieved the limit of detection in low fM DNA concentrations, enabling detection across a wide dynamic range within only 5 min, which is significantly faster than any ...

ERK1/2: A Key Cellular Component for the Formation, Retrieval, Reconsolidation and Persistence of Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) has been strongly implicated in several cellular processes. In the brain ERK1/2 activity has been primarily involved in long-term memory (LTM) formation and expression.

Extinction properties of the X-ray bright/optically faint afterglow of GRB 020405

open access: yes, 2005
We present an optical-to-X-ray spectral analysis of the afterglow of GRB 020405. The optical spectral energy distribution not corrected for the extragalactic extinction is significantly below the X-ray extrapolation of the single powerlaw spectral model ...
