This study focuses on the impact of lockdowns on housing prices and rents, exploring whether people are ...

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Mast Cells Selectively Deliver Extracellular Vesicle‐Encapsulated mRNA to Colorectal Cancer Cells
Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.Schematic overview of mast cell‐colorectal cancer cell interactions. Mast cells bind to colorectal cancer cells through integrin‐mediated adhesion (1). Calcium influx arises in mast cells (2). Calcium signaling is required for the release of mRNA‐ and protein‐containing vesicles (3), resulting in the transfer of mast cell‐derived mRNA and proteins to ...
