Growth and development of an invasive forest insect under current and future projected temperature regimes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Temperature and its impact on fitness are fundamental for understanding range shifts and population dynamics under climate change. Geographic climate heterogeneity, behavioral and physiological plasticity, and thermal adaptation to local climates make ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Genome‐wide signatures of environmental adaptation in European aspen (Populus tremula) under current and future climate conditions

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2020
Future climate change has been predicted to disrupt local adaptation in many perennial plants, such as forest trees, but the magnitude and location of these effects are thus far poorly understood.

Phenotypes and environment predict seedling survival for seven co‐occurring Great Basin plant taxa growing with invasive grass

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Trait–environment correlations can arise from local adaptation and can identify genetically and environmentally appropriate seeds for restoration projects. However, anthropogenic changes can disrupt the relationships between traits and fitness.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Supporting evidence-based adaptation decision-making in South Australia: a synthesis of climate change adaptation research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This research synthesis provides policy-makers and practitioners with an understanding of the building blocks for effective adaptation decision-making, as evidenced through the NCCARF research program.

Genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
We examine the population genetic structure and divergence among the regional populations of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica, by re‐sequencing the genomes of 105 individuals from the three main Japanese islands with diverse climates.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Assessing footprints of natural selection through PCA analysis in cattle

open access: yesActa Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2017
The aim of this study was to determine the population structure and to perform genome-wide scan of footprints of natural selection in cattle using principal component analysis.
