Resource and seasonality drive interspecific variability in a Dynamic Energy Budget model [PDF]

, 2021
ABSTRACT Animals show a vast array of phenotypic traits in time and space. These variation patterns have traditionally been described as ecogeographical rules; for example, the tendency of size and clutch size to increase with latitude (Bergman’s and Lack’s rules, respectively).

A Versatile Microfluidic Extrusion‐Based Hydrogel Platform for Self‐Organization and Long‐Term Maintenance of Engineered 3D Lymphatic Endothelium

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Microfluidic coaxial extrusion generates size‐controlled 3D lymphatic tubes from primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells in a defined four‐component matrix. These engineered vessels self‐organize into stable lymphatic endothelium, maintain selective macromolecular permeability for 30 days, and enable direct comparison with blood endothelial ...

Age, growth and food of the Burbot Lota lota in two eutrophic lakes in southeast

Fauna Norvegica, 1992
The growth and food of the burbot Lota lota was studied in two neighbouring meso-eutrophic lakes in southeast Norway. The burbot grew slower and reached smaller theoretical maximum lengths in Lake Øgderen than in Lake Rødenes (L∞ = 40.5 cm vs 69.5 cm ...

A review on interspecific competition and population dynamics of mosquitoes

Journal of Science Innovations and Nature of Earth
As carriers of several deadly illnesses, including dengue, chikungunya, malaria, the Zika virus, and lymphatic filariasis, mosquitoes are hematophagous insects of major medical significance. They are members of the Culicidae family and have intricate life cycles and ecological relationships that affect their capacity for survival and spread.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

Do eagle owls select larger water voles?

Fauna Norvegica
Optimal foraging theory predicts that a hunter should hunt the energetically most profitable prey, often the larger size classes. The eagle owl is a formidable hunter of water voles.
