Human THO–Sin3A interaction reveals new mechanisms to prevent R-loops that cause genome instability [PDF]
, 2017 R-loops, formed by co-transcriptional DNA–RNA hybrids and a displaced DNA single strand (ssDNA), fulfill certain positive regulatory roles but are also a source of genomic instability.

Food webs in forest and pasture streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand: A study based on analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and fish gut contents. [PDF]
, 1997 Stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) were studied in 11 stream communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. From comparisons of mean d13C and d15N values, food webs in the shaded, forest streams were clearly based on allochthonous material

Gut evacuation rate as a tool for revealing feeding patterns in the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) under different feeding modes, food types and temperatures [PDF]
Aquatic InvasionsThe round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a well-known invasive fish. Knowledge of its feeding habits and means of food processing is key in understanding its impact on aquatic food webs.

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities
Scientia Marina, 2003 Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Competition between sympatric wolf taxa: an example involving African and Ethiopian wolves [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Carnivore populations are declining globally due to range contraction, persecution and prey depletion. One consequence of these patterns is increased range and niche overlap with other carnivores, and thus an elevated potential for competitive exclusion.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
