Insect‐Microbe‐Based Laccase: Untapped Natural Resource for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Enhancing security of land tenure for IDPs

open access: yesForced Migration Review, 2014
"The case of Maslakh in western Afghanistan is an example of translating Afghanistan’s new IDP Policy into reality. If successful the project will ensure security of land tenure for IDPs in urban settings and set a precedent for local integration of IDPs

Using poststratification to improve abundance estimates from multispecies surveys: a study of juvenile flatfishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Population assessments seldom incorporate habitat information or use previously observed distributions of fish density. Because habitat affects the spatial distribution of fish density and overall abundance, the use of habitat information and previous ...

Development of Future Habitat Suitability Models for the Swift fox (Vulpes velox) in the American Southwest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Swift fox (Vupes velox) is a habitat specialist species of short or mixed grass prairie. We used bioclimatic envelope models and habitat suitability models under three future climate scenarios (based on CO2 emission rates) from "www ...

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

The recent decline of Montastraea annularis (complex) coral populations in western Curaçao: a cause for concern?

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Shallow leeward reefs off the western end of Curaçao are dominated by extensive populations of M. annularis (complex). These species are larger in size (mean= 66 cm diameter) than all other species, with few small colonies (10 cm observed within ...

Estimation of species relative abundances and habitat preferences using opportunistic data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We develop a new statistical procedure to monitor, with opportunist data, relative species abundances and their respective preferences for dierent habitat types. Following Giraud et al.

Genomic and Cis‐Regulatory Basis of a Plastic C3‐C4 Photosynthesis in Eleocharis Baldwinii

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The sedge Eleocharis baldwinii remarkably switches between C3‐like and C4‐like photosynthesis in response to environmental conditions. Combining gap‐free genome assembly with single‐cell multi‐omics, this study uncovers how subgenome dominance and cell‐specific cis‐regulation enable C4 photosynthesis.

Dual‐Energy CT‐Based Assessment of Thrombotic Heterogeneity for Predicting Stroke Source and Response to Machine Thrombectomy: A Step Toward Visualization Thrombus Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The research indicates that dual energy CT scanning can accurately predict the stroke source and clinical outcomes by analyzing thrombus heterogeneity. Based on histopathological analysis of thrombus components, these scans are better able to display thrombus details than standard CT scans, which is helpful for the development of visual navigation ...

A Two‐Protein Chemoreceptor Complex Regulates Oxygen Thresholds in Bacterial Magneto‐Aerotaxis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetotactic bacteria align with Earth's magnetic field, helping them migrate toward low‐oxygen environments. This study reveals how Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense uses a specialized flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)‐dependent chemoreceptor, composed of two interacting proteins, for precise navigation in oxygen gradients.
