On the methodology of feeding ecology in fish [PDF]

, 2016
Feeding ecology explains predator’s preference to some preys over others in their habitat and their competitions thereof. The subject, as a functional and applied biology, is highly neglected, and in case of fish, a uniform and consistent ...

Sustainable Lignin@ZnO Hybrid Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Preliminary Biostimulant Assessment in Tomato Plants

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the synthesis of lignin‐based ZnO hybrid materials, combining the bioactive potential of lignin with the role of zinc as a plant micronutrient. In vivo experiments on tomato plants highlighted the controlled nutrient delivery capacity of the hybrid compared to ZnO alone.

Nutritional sub-fertility in the dairy cow: towards improved reproductive management through a better biological understanding

Animal, 2010
There has been a significant decline in the reproductive performance of dairy cattle in recent decades. Cows, take longer time to return to the oestrus after calving, have poorer conception rates, and show fewer signs of oestrus.

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.

Regular versus Irregular Exercise Differentially Modulates Hippocampal‐Hepatic Acetylcholine Flux to Coordinate Fear Memory Extinction and Liver Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ma et al. report the hippocampal and hepatic acetylcholine (ACh) levels are differently modulated by regular versus irregular exercise, which contributes to coordinate hippocampal astrocyte activity and hepatic FBXL6high neutrophil recruitment. This ACh‐modulated brain‐liver circuit links the effects of exercise on fear memory extinction and liver ...

Top-down and bottom-up research in biodemography [PDF]

The most efficient way to make scientific progress in biodemography is to encourage bi-directional exchange between ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ research. This will entail exchange along the continuum of research from microscopic intracellular processes to

Re-examination of the Effects of Food Abundance on Jaw Plasticity in Purple Sea Urchins [PDF]

, 2019
Morphological plasticity is a critical mechanism that animals use to cope with variations in resource availability. During periods of food scarcity, sea urchins demonstrate an increase in jaw length relative to test diameter.
