Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Nest box use by American Kestrels and other cavity-nesting birds during the nonbreeding season
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017 Nest boxes are posted to provide breeding sites for cavity-nesting birds but less is known about their function in the nonbreeding season, when nest boxes may become important roost sites.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Repeated large scale loop migrations of an adult European Honey Buzzard
Avocetta, 2019 During migration, birds adopt flight strategies that often differ between spring and autumn. This behaviour can lead to differences in migratory paths as well as in-flight performances between seasons and may help to explain seasonal differences in the ...

Raptor Swoops in on Metabolism [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2008 The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) serine/threonine kinase plays a central role in insulin signaling and cell growth, through two distinct complexes with its subunits raptor or rictor. In this issue, two reports utilizing tissue-specific knockout mice detail key roles for mTORC1 in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue function.

ATP Citrate Lyase in Metabolic Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Potential
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is a central metabolic hub that diverts mitochondrial citrate to fuel de novo lipogenesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, and protein acetylation. Given its robust correlation with pathological changes in multiple human diseases, ACLY inhibitors featuring distinct pharmacological strengths have been developed for therapeutic ...

Reversing brain aging: Targeting energy metabolism in endogenous neural stem cells
Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.Mechanism of endogenous neural stem cells (eNSCs) energy metabolism disorder leading to brain aging and targeted eNSCs intervention strategies (By biorender). The disorder of energy metabolism of eNSCs can lead to their resting and aging, and eventually lead to brain aging.
