This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

An engineered baculovirus‐insect cell platform produces chondroitinase‐free sulfotransferases, enabling efficient synthesis of chondroitin sulphates. ABSTRACT Owing to the high expression levels, proper protein folding and post‐translational modifications, baculovirus‐insect cell expression system is an ideal platform for producing active chondroitin ...

Risk Status of Australia's Alpine and Subalpine Ecosystems
ABSTRACT Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are threatened by changing climate and disturbance regimes because they exist under extreme geographical and climatic conditions. Understanding the threats to and risk status of alpine and subalpine ecosystems is vital to guide their conservation, inform monitoring programs and identify the relative impact of ...

Propolis is rarely used in conventional cosmetics within the EU, and such products are therefore unlikely to be significant sources of exposure for patients with positive patch test reactions to propolis. There is no evidence that small amounts of propolis in white beeswax (cera alba) in cosmetics can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in individuals ...

Plant Functional Traits and Vegetation Structure Explain Pollination Networks at Scale
Being able to quantify interactions between different taxa at scale is critical for understanding terrestrial ecosystem functioning and global food production, as in the case of plant‐pollinator interactions. Here, we apply plant functional strategies remotely sensed at the landscape scale to predict the structure of plant‐pollinator networks at a ...
