PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Herpesvirus and Subsequent Usutu Virus Infection in a Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa) at the Ljubljana Zoo, Slovenia

Animals
Herpesvirus (HV) has been known to cause disease in owls, with various clinical signs and outcomes for the last several decades. The HV DNA polymerase gene was detected in oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs of a male great grey owl (Strix nebulosa) in a ...

Diversity in small mammals from eastern Lake Turkana, Kenya

, 2010
Rodents and insectivores were surveyed, using live trapping, at seven sites on the eastern side of Lake Turkana, one of the remotest parts of Kenya, and at study areas of biological distinctiveness, such as Sibiloi National Park and the Mount Kulal ...

Arsenic in small, mammals

, 1992
Acute arsenic poisoning had been reported since the nineteenth century from smelting and refining activities. Many of these studies show that arsenic accumulated in the animals is not to concentration greater than 1 ug.g-1. This study shows low levels of

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Miombo woodland termite mounds: resource islands for small vertebrates?

, 2003
Macrotermes mounds are a significant feature of African woodland landscape, contributing to habitat heterogeneity. The mounds are massive, often many centuries old, and support dense vegetation and a suite of woody plant species scarce in surrounding ...

Radionuclide transfer to invertebrates and small mammals in a coastal sand dune ecosystem

, 2009
International intercomparisons of models to assess the impact of ionising radiation on wildlife have identified radionuclide transfer assumptions as a significant source of uncertainty in the modelling process. There is a need to improve the underpinning

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Virome analysis suggests deltacoronaviruses and picornaviruses as a probable cause of severe intestinal disease on three quail farms

Animal Microbiome
Background Quail farming is increasingly popular mainly due to higher market interest in meat and eggs. However, quails are susceptible to several common poultry viral infections, especially in intensive farming systems.
