AntioxidantsAging is associated with detrimental bone loss, often leading to fragility fractures, which may be driven by oxidative stress. In this study, the outcomes of comparing the differences among young, adult and aged C57BL/6J mice found that the trabecular ...

White-tailed deer response to vehicle approach: evidence of unclear and present danger. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The fundamental causes of animal-vehicle collisions are unclear, particularly at the level of animal detection of approaching vehicles and decision-making. Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are especially costly in terms of animal mortality, property damage,

Intermittent Gliding in the Hunting Flight of the Kestrel, Falco tinnunculus L. [PDF]
, 1983 The hunting flight of the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) consists of short bouts of flight at wind speed against the wind with the eyes in a fixed position relative to the ground, and of short flights from one such position to the next.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Flight morphological variations and its consequences on animal performance are common in winged insects. In the butterfly Heliconius charithonia, sex-related differences in the wing morphological design have been described resulting in differences in ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Adaptive Bird-like Genome Miniaturization During the Evolution of Scallop Swimming Lifestyle
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2022 Genome miniaturization drives key evolutionary innovations of adaptive traits in vertebrates, such as the flight evolution of birds. However, whether similar evolutionary processes exist in invertebrates remains poorly understood. Derived from the second-
