Analysis and Prediction of Gap Dynamics in a Secondary Deciduous Broadleaf Forest of Central Japan Using Airborne Multi-LiDAR Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Gaps are important for growth of vegetation on the forest floor. However, monitoring of gaps in large areas is difficult. Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data make precise gap mapping possible.

Stochastic colonization of hosts with a finite lifespan can drive individual host microbes out of equilibrium.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
Macroorganisms are inhabited by microbial communities that often change through the lifespan of an individual. One of the factors contributing to this change is colonization from the environment.

On the emergence of the correlation between life expectancy and the variance in the age at death

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
Recent empirical studies have found various patterns in the correlations between lifespan inequality and life expectancy in modern human populations. However, it is unclear how general these regularities are. Here we establish three theorems that provide

Regulation of lifespan by chemosensory and thermosensory systems: findings in invertebrates and their implications in mammalian aging

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2012
Many environmental factors that dynamically change in nature influence various aspects of animal physiology. Animals are equipped with sensory neuronal systems that help them properly sense and respond to environmental factors. Several studies have shown

The sensory system acts with a neuromedin U signaling pathway to mediate food type-dependent effects on lifespan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In order to survive, the animal uses its sensory system to interpret the complexity of its environment. Interestingly, a subset of sensory neurons, which function in taste or olfaction, has been found to influence the lifespan of C.

Two aspects of longevity are associated with rates of loss of telomeres in birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Telomeres, the terminal repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of linear chromosomes, have strong associations with longevity in some major taxa. Longevity has been linked to rate of decline in telomere length in birds and mammals, and absolute telomere ...
