Promoting the use of rat traps over pesticides in Cape Town's peri-urban areas : an analysis of factors influencing rat trap adoption

, 2011
Rodent infestations are a common problem in low socio-economic areas surrounding Cape Town. The presence of rodents can lead to the contamination of food, damage of infrastructure and the spread of rodent-borne diseases.

In Vivo Microplastic Detection With Photoacoustic Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are posing an escalating threat to both ecological systems and human health. Yet, current methods for investigating their bioaccumulation are highly invasive, requiring destructive analysis of ex vivo tissues via mass spectrometry, dye labelling, or Raman microspectroscopy.

Recovering ‘lost’ information in the presence of noise: application to rodent–predator dynamics. [PDF]

, 2009
A Hamiltonian approach is introduced for the reconstruction of trajectories and models of complex stochastic dynamics from noisy measurements. The method converges even when entire trajectory components are unobservable and the parameters are unknown. It

Fibronectin1‐Expressing Subicular Circuits Selectively Govern the Retrieval of Novel Object Recognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin 1 (FN1)‐expressing subicular subpopulations encode novel object preference and selectively govern retrieval of novel object recognition (NOR) via affecting excitability of entorhinal‐projecting circuit through large conductance Ca2+‐activated potassium (BK) channel. ABSTRACT Novel object recognition (NOR), referring to the cognitive ability

Sex-Based Dietary Divergence in Plateau Pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) but Not Plateau Zokors (Eospalax baileyi)

Animals
Quantifying sex-specific dietary differences in small mammals reveals the internal resource allocation mechanisms within a species and provides new insights for ecosystem management and conservation practices.

Targeting the PDK1/c‐Myc/SOX10 Signaling in Oligodendrocytes Alleviates Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reveals that oligodendrocyte homeostasis, mediated by PDK1, is a critical determinant of neuropathic pain (NPP) pathogenesis. Disruption of PDK1 in oligodendrocytes impairs SOX10‐dependent myelination programs through c‐Myc accumulation, leading to disrupted myelination and the pathophysiology of NPP.

Mound-building by plateau pikas modulates the greenhouse gas balance

Global Ecology and Conservation
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a burrowing mammal of the alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau. Its digging activity reshapes the vertical soil structure, forming heterogeneous soil mounds that significantly alter the local microenvironment ...

Nuclear localization of Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling (SOCS)-1 regulates local immunity in the lung

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) is a negative feedback inhibitor of cytoplasmic Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling.
