The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Antidiabetic Potential of Ligands from NEIST_PMIB_06, Bacterium Associated with Hawaijar (Fermented Soy Food): Insight from in Vitro and in Silico Studies

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a bacterium (NEIST_PMIB_06) was isolated from Hawaijar, a fermented soy food from Manipur, Northeast India. The bacterium was inoculated and incubated to isolate bioactive compounds. Liquid‐liquid extraction was performed to obtain extracts (cell‐free and cell‐based), and their efficacy was evaluated.

Strong Implications From Small Deviations in Labeling Patterns: The Mechanism of Burkholderia gladioli Pacifigorgiadiene Synthase

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The mechanism of pacifigorgiadiene synthase from Burkholderia gladioli was investigated through isotopic labeling experiments and DFT calculations. The results revealed an unexpected labeling pattern which appeared to be different in the main and the side products, requiring unprecedented mechanistic explanations, including a “break‐flip‐cyclise ...

Actin Isovariant ACT2‐Mediated Cellular Auxin Homeostasis Regulates Lateral Root Organogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lateral root (LR) organogenesis is regulated by cellular flux of auxin within pericycle cells, which depends on the membrane distribution and polar localization of auxin carrier proteins. The correct distribution of auxin carrier proteins relies on the intracellular trafficking of these proteins aided by filamentous actin as a track.
