Species diversity, functional diversity, and ecosystem functioning

2002
Abstract Experiments assessing the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning initially aimed at establishing whether such relationships exist (e.g. Naeem et al. 1995; Tilman et al. 1996; Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000; Engelhardt and Ritchie 2001).

Functional Diversity of Macropinocytosis

2022
Eukaryotic cells are capable of internalizing different types of cargo by plasma membrane ruffling and forming vesicles in a process known as endocytosis. The most extensively characterized endocytic pathways are clathrin-coated pits, lipid raft/caveolae-mediated endocytosis, phagocytosis, and macropinocytosis.

Functional diversity of dystroglycan

Matrix Biology, 2009
During the last 15 years, following its identification and first detailed molecular characterization, the dystroglycan (DG) complex has taken centre stage in biology and biomedicine. Functions in different cells and tissues have been identified for this complex, ranging from its typical role in skeletal muscle as a sarcolemmal stabilizer, highlighted ...

Diversity in arrestin function

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009
The termination of heptahelical receptor signaling is a multilevel process coordinated, in large part, by members of the arrestin family of proteins. Arrestin binding to agonist-occupied receptors promotes desensitization by interrupting receptor-G protein coupling, while simultaneously recruiting machinery for receptor endocytosis, vesicular ...

Diverse functions of antioxidants

Free Radical Research, 2000
All biological organisms have developed a defense system against oxidative stress, which is comprised of many kinds of antioxidants. Antioxidants are classified by function into four categories; preventive antioxidants; radical scavenging antioxidants; repair and de novo antioxidants; and adaptation.

DIVERSITY OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDE FUNCTIONS

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1995
SELEX is a technology for the identification of high affinity oligonucleotide ligands. Large libraries of random sequence single-stranded oligonucleotides, whether RNA or DNA, can be thought of conformationally not as short strings but rather as sequence dependent folded structures with high degrees of molecular rigidity in solution.

Functional Diversity of Laminins

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2012
Laminins are a large family of conserved, multidomain trimeric basement membrane proteins that contribute to the structure of extracellular matrix and influence the behavior of associated cells, such as adhesion, differentiation, migration, phenotype stability, and resistance to anoikis.

Phyllosphere microbiome: Diversity and functions

Microbiological Research, 2022
Phyllosphere or aerial surface of plants represents the globally largest and peculiar microbial habitat that inhabits diverse and rich communities of bacteria, fungi, viruses, cyanobacteria, actinobacteria, nematodes, and protozoans. These hyperdiverse microbial communities are related to the host's specific functional traits and influence the host's ...

Plant Functional Group Diversity Promotes Soil Protist Diversity

Protist, 2003
We tested whether effects of plant diversity can propagate through food webs, down to heterotrophic protists not linked directly to plants. To this end we synthesised grassland ecosystems with varying numbers of plant functional groups (FGN) and assessed corresponding changes in testate amoebae communities. The number of plant species was kept constant.
