Microchemical Analyses of Otoliths Reveal Habitat Differentiation Between a Sympatric Species Pair in the Coastal Waters of China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study applied otolith morphology and microchemistry to analyze two sister fish species along the China coast. It revealed that B. sinensis from the contact zone migrates to low‐salinity estuaries to breed, whereas other groups reside permanently in high‐salinity waters, indicating ecological divergence.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Chaperone mediated detection of small molecule target binding in cells
Nature Communications, 2020 Quantitative profiling of small molecule-protein binding in cells can aid basic biochemical research and drug discovery. Here, the authors develop the Heat Shock Protein Inhibition Protein Stability Assay (HIPStA) as a high-throughput method to assess ...

Antibody toolkit reveals N-terminally ubiquitinated substrates of UBE2W
Nature Communications, 2021 UBE2W catalyzes the ubiquitination of protein N-termini but its substrate spectrum is largely unknown. Here, the authors discover mAbs selective for peptides derived from N-terminally ubiquitinated proteins, solve the structure of a peptide-bound mAb and

Ecology of common bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) in the Tarawera and Rangitaiki rivers: isolation by inland distance or anthropogenic discharge? [PDF]
, 2009 Previous research has identified distinct genetic, life-history and reproductive differences between populations of common bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) upstream and downstream of a pulp and paper mill outfall on the Tarawera River in the Bay of Plenty,

Quantifying physiological influences on otolith microchemistry [PDF]
, 2015 Trace element concentrations in fish earstones (‘otoliths’) are widely used to discriminate spatially discrete populations or individuals of marine fish, based on a commonly held assumption that physiological influences on otolith composition are minor ...
