Marchantia polymorpha Defense Against Snail Herbivory [PDF]

Plant-Environment Interactions
During the course of evolution, higher plants have developed efficient strategies to cope with herbivory from arthropods. Upon perception of herbivore‐derived cues, the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway is activated and triggers the expression of ...

Tuning gastropod locomotion: Modeling the influence of mucus rheology on the cost of crawling [PDF]

Phys. Fluids (2006) 18, 113102, 2006
Common gastropods such as snails crawl on a solid substrate by propagating muscular waves of shear stress on a viscoelastic mucus. Producing the mucus accounts for the largest component in the gastropod's energy budget, more than twenty times the amount ...

Evaluation of Alternative Sources of Proteins and Other Nutrients with Potential Applications in Fish Nutrition [PDF]

Molecules
The European Union’s (EU) agricultural self-sufficiency is challenged by its reliance on imported plant proteins, particularly soy from the Americas, contributing to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions.

Genetic Determination of a Cryptic Species in the Littoraria Genus With Whole-Genome Molecular Resolution. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study combined quantitative morphological and genome‐wide molecular data to elucidate the controversial phylogenetic relationships among three species of the Littoraria complex (L. flammea, L. melanostoma, and L. aff. melanostoma) in the Northwest Pacific. Our findings confirm that the L.

Temperature Dependence of the Viscoelastic Properties of a Natural Gastropod Mucus by Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2023
Brillouin spectroscopy was used to probe the viscoelastic properties of a natural gastropod mucus at GHz frequencies over the range -11 $^\circ$C $\leq T \leq$ 52 $^\circ$C. Anomalies in the temperature dependence of mucus longitudinal acoustic mode peak parameters and associated viscoelastic properties at $T = -2.5^\circ$C, together with the ...

Terrestrial gastropod responses to an ecosystem-level calcium manipulation in a northern hardwood forest [PDF]

, 2007
The effects of acid deposition on soil calcium (Ca), and in turn on land snail populations, have been of heightened concern for several decades. We compiled a 10 year record (1997–2006) of gastropod abundance on two small watersheds at the Hubbard Brook ...

The effect of temperature, soil nitrogen and gastropods on _Thuja plicata_ growth and reproduction [PDF]

, 2010
Humans are changing the environment. For example, nitrogen deposition, rising temperatures, and non-native species are influencing plant communities. These changes have and will continue to affect trees, thus, understanding the response of species to ...

Radiocarbon and blue optically stimulated luminescence chronologies of the Oitavos consolidated dune (Western Portugal) [PDF]

, 2007
The dune of Oitavos, the underlying paleosol, and Helix sp. gastropod shells found within the paleosol were dated using a combination of radiocarbon and blue optically stimulated luminescence (OSL).

Predicting protein decomposition: the case of aspartic-acid racemization kinetics [PDF]

, 1999
The increase in proportion of the non-biological (D-) isomer of aspartic acid (Asp) relative to the L- isomer has been widely used in archaeology and geochemistry as a tool for dating. The method has proved controversial, particularly when used for bones.
