Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Clinicopathological characteristics of patients with inoperable non‐small cell lung cancer harboring circulating NRF2 pathway mutations

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer‐related morbidity and mortality, with tobacco smoking as its strongest risk factor. Nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (NRF2) is a redox‐regulated transcription factor frequently dysregulated in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), leading to aggressive disease and resistance to therapy.

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

The Mediator's Mind: Navigating Party Psychology and Behavioural Dynamics in Dispute Resolution

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediation increasingly requires psychological competence, as mediators regulate emotion, cognition and interaction within conflict systems. This study examines how mediators' psychological awareness and behavioural reflexivity shape conflict trajectories, advancing the concept of a behavioural architecture that transforms emotional volatility ...

Genetic and phenotypic variation in wood tiger moths from the Caucasus: insights into male warning color variation

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Existence of Picard operator and iterated function system

Applied General Topology, 2020
<p>In this paper, we define weak θ_m− contraction mappings and give a new class of Picard operators for such class of mappings on a complete metric space. Also, we obtain some new results on the existence and uniqueness of attractor for a weak θ_m− iterated multifunction system.

The Equivalence between T-Stabilities of The Krasnoselskij and The Mann Iterations

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2007
We prove the equivalence between the T-stabilities of the Krasnoselskij and the Mann iterations; a consequence is the equivalence with the T-stability of the Picard-Banach iteration.
