Widespread discordance of gene trees with species tree in Drosophila: evidence for incomplete lineage sorting.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
The phylogenetic relationship of the now fully sequenced species Drosophila erecta and D. yakuba with respect to the D. melanogaster species complex has been a subject of controversy.

Diverse species-specific phenotypic consequences of loss of function sorting nexin 14 mutations [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Abstract Mutations in the SNX14 gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 20 (SCAR20) in both humans and dogs. Studies implicating the phenotypic consequences of SNX14 mutations to be consequences of subcellular disruption

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Fine-scale environmental gradients formed by local pollutants largely impact zooplankton communities in running water ecosystems

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2018
Many freshwater ecosystems suffer from multiple environmental stressors derived from anthropogenic activities. It is therefore necessary to investigate how environmental changes influence composition and functioning of biological communities such as ...

Taylor Dispersion with Adsorption and Desorption

open access: yes, 2012
We use a stochastic approach to show how Taylor dispersion is affected by kinetic processes of adsorption and desorption onto surfaces. A general theory is developed, from which we derive explicitly the dispersion coefficients of canonical examples like ...

After the games are over: life-history trade-offs drive dispersal attenuation following range expansion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Increased dispersal propensity often evolves on expanding range edges due to the Olympic Village effect, which involves the fastest and fittest finding themselves together in the same place at the same time, mating, and giving rise to like individuals ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Unraveling the rapid radiation of crested newts, Triturus cristatus superspecies, using complete mitogenomic sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background - The rapid radiation of crested newts (Triturus cristatus superspecies) comprises four morphotypes: 1) the T. karelinii group, 2) T. carnifex - T. macedonicus, 3) T. cristatus and 4) T. dobrogicus.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Exposure to airborne fungi during sorting of recyclable plastics in waste treatment facilities

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2017
Background: In working environment of waste treatment facilities, employees are exposed to high concentrations of airborne microorganisms. Fungi constitute an essential part of them.
