Functional responses of two predatory bugs (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) to changes in the abundance of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2020
Orius spp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) is well-known genus of generalist predators, which feed on numerous pest insects and mites infesting crops. In this study, the functional responses of the predatory bugs, Orius laevigatus (Fieber) and Orius vicinus ...

Time-Dependent Quasiparticle Current Density Functional Theory of X-Ray Nonlinear Response Functions

open access: yes, 2003
A real-space representation of the current response of many-electron systems with possible applications to x-ray nonlinear spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibilities is developed.

Functional Lagged Regression with Sparse Noisy Observations

open access: yes, 2020
A functional (lagged) time series regression model involves the regression of scalar response time series on a time series of regressors that consists of a sequence of random functions.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Total response models as a conceptual management framework for conserving vulnerable secondary prey

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2023
Many of the world's native fauna suffer unsustainable losses from invasive mammalian predators. Conservation managers control predators on the premise that if large numbers are removed, prey will respond. This is sometimes true, but not always. Empirical

On mass response functions

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 1989
Field transport of reactive solute species is investigated through a class of stochastic models, here termed mass response functions (MRFs), which incorporate simplified concepts of chemical/physical nonequilibrium kinetics in the formulation of transport by travel time distributions. MRFs are probability density functions (pdfs) associated with solute

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Functional compartmentalization of Rad9 and Hus1 reveals diverse assembly of the 9-1-1 complex components during the DNA damage response in Leishmania [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) complex is a key component in the coordination of DNA damage sensing, cell cycle progression and DNA repair pathways in eukaryotic cells. This PCNA-related trimer is loaded onto RPA-coated single stranded DNA and interacts with

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Microplastics influence the functional responses of a tropical estuarine calanoid Pseudodiaptomus annandalei

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Being chemically inert and morphologically similar (<5 mm in size) to the natural prey of copepods, microplastics (MPs) affect them through entanglement, ingestion, and interference with their natural prey selection.
