The early twentieth century warming and winter Arctic sea ice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2012
The Arctic has featured the strongest surface warming over the globe during the recent decades, and the temperature increase has been accompanied by a rapid decline in sea ice extent.

Sea-ice extent and its trend provide limited metrics of model performance [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2014
We examine how the evaluation of modelled sea-ice coverage against reality is affected by uncertainties in the retrieval of sea-ice coverage from satellite, by the usage of sea-ice extent to overcome these uncertainties, and by internal variability.

Sea Ice Extent Detection in the Bohai Sea Using Sentinel-3 OLCI Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Sea ice distribution is an important indicator of ice conditions and regional climate change in the Bohai Sea (China). In this study, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution of the Bohai Sea ice in the winter of 2017−2018 by developing sea ice

Interannual and seasonal variability of Arctic sea ice extent according to satellite observations

open access: yesРоссийская Арктика, 2019
The interannual and seasonal changes of Arctic sea ice extent according to satellite observations from 1978–2018 are analyzed. Steady reduction in the sea ice cover over the research period is reported.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Record Early Sea Ice Loss in Southeastern Hudson Bay in Spring 2024

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Hudson Bay seasonal sea‐ice cover plays an important role in marine ecosystems and human activities. Spring 2024 witnessed a uniquely early southeastern opening, leading to basin‐wide sea ice extent falling 5σ below the 1979–2023 average.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Ice extent trends in the Barents and Kara Seas during recent climate change

open access: yesРоссийская Арктика
Certain areas of the Arctic region, primarily the Barents and Kara Seas, have high resource potential. This is the place where hydrocarbon deposits are explored and developed, and where the main transport corridor of the Northern Sea Route begins.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
