Differential influences of island biogeographic effects on the diversity among three plant life-forms

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Traditional island biogeography posits that area and remoteness are key determinants of species richness. However, this theory is challenged by recent changes in species dispersal patterns caused by human activity and climate change.

Relationships between Plant Diversity and Grasshopper Diversity and Abundance in the Little Missouri National Grassland

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2011
A continuing challenge in orthopteran ecology is to understand what determines grasshopper species diversity at a given site. In this study, the objective was to determine if variation in grasshopper abundance and diversity between 23 sites in western ...

An intelligent system for estimating frog community calling activity and species richness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Over the past decade, dramatic declines in frog populations have been noticed worldwide. To examine this decline, monitoring frogs is becoming increasingly important.

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

Drivers of Species Richness and Community Composition in Marine Artificial Habitats Isolated from Natural Rocky Shores [PDF]

open access: yes
openThe Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) explains species diversity on islands as a balance between immigration and extinction rates, influenced by island size and distance from the mainland.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

SPECIES RICHNESS OF CLIMBERS IN NATURAL AND SUCCESSIONAL STANDS OF MADHUPUR SAL (Shorea robusta C.F. Gaertn) FOREST, BANGLADESH

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2009
Climber species richness and population structure were investigated in natural and successional stand in Madhupur Sal forest of Bangladesh. Species richness varied between the natural and successional stand.

A new model to describe the relationship between species richness and sample size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the sampling of species richness, the number of newly found species declines as increase of sample size, and the number of distinct species tends to an upper asymptote as sample size tends to the infinity. This leads to a curve of species richness vs.

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Adult Learning in STEM Disciplines

open access: yesNew Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are reshaping adult learning in STEM by providing adaptive, data‐driven instruction across classrooms, workplaces, and informal environments. In the context of ITS, this article compares generative AI, which creates personalized explanations and practice materials, with explainable AI, which focuses on ...
