Environmental Consequences of Water Withdrawals and Drainage of Wetlands

EDIS, 2009
SL-302, a 3-page fact sheet by Alan L. Wright, educates the general public about how hydrologic conditions, such as drought and water withdrawal, influence the functioning and benefits of wetland ecosystems.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Quantifying the impact of environmental education and outreach on citizen science reports of an endangered neotropical raptor

Conservation Science and Practice
In the current context of biodiversity loss, scientists face a research–implementation gap which hinders the effectiveness of conservation measures. Environmental education and citizen science allow for an increased awareness of the general public and a ...

Presentation: Come Ice or High Water: How Will Global Warming Affect Antarctic Ice Sheets and Sea Levels? [PDF]

, 2007
In parts of Antarctica, rates of measured climate warming are the highest anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere – in another part, there has been a cooling. How are we to interpret such a complex pattern of climate change, and what are the implications for

The diversity and evolution of ecological and environmental citizen science [PDF]

, 2017
Citizen science—the involvement of volunteers in data collection, analysis and interpretation—simultaneously supports research and public engagement with science, and its profile is rapidly rising. Citizen science represents a diverse range of approaches,

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Citizen scientists: Unveiling motivations and characteristics influencing initial and sustained participation in an agricultural project.

PLoS ONE
Citizen science, where non-specialists collaborate with scientists, has surged in popularity. While it offers an innovative approach to research involvement, the domain of agri-environmental research participation, particularly in terms of citizen ...

Recruiting and Retaining Participants in Citizen Science: What Can Be Learned from the Volunteering Literature?

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 2016
New citizen science projects are emerging all the time as scientists, policy-makers, and non-governmental organisations see the value of conducting research in this way.

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...
