Evolution of design features in the coding of species-specificity.
American Zoologist, 1970 Reproductive isolation between species is the major factor responsible for the evolution of species-specificity in communication signals. However, the actual physical or chemical structure of signals may be determined by a number of factors such as the ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Trematodes of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia: emerging patterns of diversity and richness in coral reef fishes [PDF]
, 2014 The Great Barrier Reef holds the richest array of marine life found anywhere in Australia, including a diverse and fascinating parasite fauna. Members of one group, the trematodes, occur as sexually mature adult worms in almost all Great Barrier Reef ...

Competition of Species with Intra-Specific Competition [PDF]
Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena, 2008 Intra-specific competition in population dynamics can be described by integro-differen- tial equations where the integral term corresponds to nonlocal consumption of resources by in- dividuals of the same population. Already the single integro-differential equation can show the emergence of nonhomogeneous in space stationary structures and can be used ...

Clarifying species dependence under joint species distribution modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Joint species distribution modeling is attracting increasing attention these days, acknowledging the fact that individual level modeling fails to take into account expected dependence/interaction between species. These models attempt to capture species dependence through an associated correlation matrix arising from a set of latent multivariate normal ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Spot‐14 and Spot‐14R play distinct roles in regulating metabolism in brown and beige adipocytes. While both influence lipid and glucose pathways, Spot‐14 uniquely controls thermogenic gene expression. This dual regulation balances energy storage and heat production, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for obesity and metabolic disorders. Spot 14

Species-specific temperature sensitivity of TRPA1 [PDF]
Temperature, 2015 Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal ion channel sensitive to temperature and chemical stimuli. The importance of temperature and aversive chemical detection for survival has driven the evolutionary diversity of TRPA1 sensitivity.

Journal of Immunology, 1985 Highly purified human blood monocytes, isolated by continuous Percoll density gradients under endotoxin-free conditions, and mouse peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) were activated in vitro by the combination of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and recombinant ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
, 2014 Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...
