Supercooling of Alaskan Beetle Larvae as a Winter Survival Strategy
Dehydrated Alaskan beetle larvae in Fairbanks, Alaska, adhere to the bark of trees that are embedded in ice in their natural winter microhabitat (bottom). This enables their bodies to deeply supercool and avoid freezing, in contrast to their fully hydrated summer form (top).

The Survival of Water within Extrasolar Minor Planets [PDF]
We compute that extrasolar minor planets can retain much of their internal H_2O during their host star's red giant evolution. The eventual accretion of a water-rich body or bodies onto a helium white dwarf might supply an observable amount of atmospheric hydrogen, as seems likely for GD 362.

GLOBE Cave Protocol Field Guide: Comparing Surface and Subterranean Environments [PDF]
The GLOBE Cave Protocol Field Guide utilizes existing GLOBE protocols to explore an extreme environment. Caves provide an opportunity to utilize GLOBE protocols to investigate underground environments and compare them to surface environments. Outside the

The effects of added salt on the second virial coefficients of the complete proteome of E. coli [PDF]
Bacteria typically have a few thousand different proteins. The number of proteins with a given charge is a roughly Gaussian function of charge - centred near zero, and with a width around ten (in units of the charge on the proton).

Regions of the world permanently below 5 °C harbor significant biodiversity and understudied molecular mechanisms. This knowledge gap originates from the requirement for high‐resolution microscopy methods that maintain cold sample conditions while achieving subcellular resolution.

Extremophiles: a special or general case in the search for extra-terrestrial life? [PDF]
Since time immemorial life has been viewed as being fragile, yet over the past few decades it has been found that many extreme environments are inhabited by organisms known as extremophiles.Knowledge of their emergence, adaptability, and limitations seems to provide a guideline for the search of extra-terrestrial life, since some extremophiles ...
