Deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen, is universal in nature, but it disrupts the mitochondrial ATPase pumps. One mechanism that biological organisms may use to reduce deuterium levels in the mitochondria is to sequester deuterium bound to carbon atoms in a small set of organic molecules that have a unique configuration to support such trapping ...

Long‐term population dynamics of an insect in a simple food web under a changing environment
This long‐term population study illustrates the complexity of weather effects on insects and how population variability depends on the form of density dependence. Weak regulation leads to long‐term fluctuations without clear traces on short‐term variation. Responses to even drastic changes can be hard to detect without accurate knowledge of mechanisms.

Trends in Richness and Occupancy of Ugandan Birds and Relation to Local Tree Cover
ABSTRACT Changes in vegetation cover are occurring across sub‐Saharan Africa and can have substantial effects on ecological communities, but limited data make understanding status and trends difficult for many taxa. We surveyed birds for several decades across Uganda using point counts.

Abstract The thermoregulatory system of homeothermic endotherms operates to attain thermal equilibrium, that is no net loss or gain of heat, where possible, under a thermal challenge, and not to attain a set‐point or any other target body temperature.
