Effects of predation by Hydra (Cnidaria) on cladocerans (Crustacea: Cladocera)
Planktonic cladocerans have evolved different strategies to avoid predation from vertebrates; these include changes in morphology, behavior, physiology, and/or life-history traits.

Fish community restoration efforts are rarely followed by long‐term evaluations, hence current understanding of responses to removal of introduced and invasive species may be largely based on transient dynamics. Instead, both population abundance and size structure should be documented for at least a few generations of the longest‐lived species ...

Deficient autophagy in epithelial stem cells drives aging in the freshwater cnidarian Hydra
Hydra possesses three distinct stem cell populations that continuously self-renew and prevent aging in Hydra vulgaris. However, sexual animals from the H.

The silencing of transposable elements is mediated by piRNAs through post‐transcriptional and transcriptional regulation. In Drosophila, piRNAs are processed within unique non‐membrane structures: nuage in germline cells and Yb bodies in somatic gonadal cells.

Hydra regeneration and epitheliopeptides [PDF]
AbstractHydra has been well known for over 200 years for its remarkable regenerative capacity. In addition to small pieces excised from the body, reaggregates of dissociated single cells can also regenerate. Although the cellular events involved in the regeneration process have been well characterized, the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be ...

The toxicity of manufactured nanoparticles varies greatly depending on the test species in consideration and estimates of toxicity may also be confounded by test media in which the organisms are cultured.

Plant nutrient uptake mechanisms shape ecosystem characteristics like nutrient cycling rates and soil quality. These dynamics are unstudied in bioenergy agroecosystems, and likely vary with plant life history. While annuals rely on root uptake, perennials form extensive symbioses and internally recycle nutrients.

Animal behavior has been studied for centuries, but few efficient methods are available to automatically identify and classify it. Quantitative behavioral studies have been hindered by the subjective and imprecise nature of human observation, and the ...

Operational Reliability of Emergency Measures, a Case Study for the BresDefender
ABSTRACT During extreme high‐water events in river systems, the load on a levee section may exceed its resistance, initiating the breaching process which eventually leads to levee failure. The success of an emergency measure to intervene in the initial phases of levee failure is mainly dependent on its timely application.
