Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Passive transponder implantation in Theraphosidae: A tool for traceability and conservation
PIT TAG microchip implantation was successfully performed in multiple tarantula species, showing high tolerance, rapid recovery from anaesthesia and no mortality associated with the procedure. Microchips remained stable and detectable after successive ecdysis events, with no negative effects on feeding behaviour, development, courtship, mating success ...

Ambient heat and early childhood development: a cross‐national analysis
Background Increasing evidence suggests that climate change, along with its cascading impacts on ecosystems, societies, and communities, has significant effects on both physical and mental health. However, less is known about how exposure to excessive heat early in life may influence the development of foundational skills that shape lifelong ...

ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...
