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.

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 ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.
