The 20-million-year old lair of an ambush-predatory worm preserved in northeast Taiwan

Scientific Reports, 2021
The feeding behavior of the giant ambush-predator “Bobbit worm” (Eunice aphroditois) is spectacular. They hide in their burrows until they explode upwards grabbing unsuspecting prey with a snap of their powerful jaws.

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

ADAMTS9‐AS2 Disrupts Docetaxel‐Resistance in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer via Stemness Suppression and Ferroptosis Induction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovered a dual‐track mechanism by which ADAMTS9‐AS2 overcame chemoresistance in CRPC: suppressing cancer stemness through the FOXF2/TGF‐β2 pathway, and triggering ferroptosis via competitive SLC7A11 sequestration. Polymeric materials co‐targeting these vulnerabilities further boost docetaxel sensitivity, highlighting a compelling strategy ...

Predatory Encounters of Yllenus Arenarius (Araneae, Salticidae) with Flies (Diptera) [PDF]

, 2010
Predatory behaviour of Yllenus arenarius hunting flies (Diptera) was studied. The general spider's approach and capture was typical for salticids hunting prey that has high ability to escape. Two modes of approach in close proximity of prey were observed.

A Statistical Mechanics Model to Decode Tissue Crosstalk During Graft Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a statistical mechanics framework to decode the genomic crosstalk governing plant grafting. By integrating evolutionary game theory with transcriptomics, we reconstruct idopNetworks (informative, dynamic, omnidirectional, and personalized networks) that map scion–rootstock interactions.

Rippling Is a Predatory Behavior in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACT Cells of Myxococcus xanthus will, at times, organize their movement such that macroscopic traveling waves, termed ripples, are formed as groups of cells glide together on a solid surface. The reason for this behavior has long been a mystery, but we demonstrate here that rippling is a feeding ...

Intraspecific variation in stomatal architecture, gas exchange, and drought response of a dominant prairie grass sourced from broad climatic gradients

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how plant populations adapt to water limitation through stomatal traits is key to predicting drought responses. The dominant C4 grass Andropogon gerardi, distributed across sharp climate gradients in North America, offers an excellent focal species to study stomatal architecture (size and density).

Psychometric Properties and Development of a Scale Designed to Evaluate the Potential of Predatory Violent Behavior

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
The objective of this study was to develop and determine the psychometric properties of an instrument designed to detect traits and behavior that are associated with predatory violent behavior, which is defined as a determined, planned, controlled, and ...

The mechanistic basis of Myxococcus xanthus rippling behavior and its physiological role during predation. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2012
Myxococcus xanthus cells self-organize into periodic bands of traveling waves, termed ripples, during multicellular fruiting body development and predation on other bacteria. To investigate the mechanistic basis of rippling behavior and its physiological
