Analysis of 182 cerebral palsy transcriptomes points to dysregulation of trophic signalling pathways and overlap with autism [PDF]

Translational Psychiatry, 2018
AbstractCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability of childhood. It is characterised by permanent, non-progressive but not unchanging problems with movement, posture and motor function, with a highly heterogeneous clinical spectrum and frequent neurodevelopmental comorbidities.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Feeding Habits and Prey Composition of Six Mesopelagic Fish Species from an Isolated Central Mediterranean Basin

Fishes
Mesopelagic fishes hold an important position in marine food webs, serving as a link between lower trophic levels and top predators and transferring energy from their deep mesopelagic habitat to shallower oceanic layers.

Exploitation of Floral Resources and Niche Overlap within an Oil-collecting Bee Guild (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in a Neotropical Savanna

Sociobiology, 2017
Oil bees exploit host plants for resources to feed the adults and offspring, as well as for the construction of their nests. The aim of the current study is to investigate how the species in this guild distribute their foraging effort, and the range in ...

PRDM16 is necessary for sensory neuronal development and differentiation in the trigeminal ganglion

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cranial neural crest cells (cNCC) generate craniofacial cartilage, bone, and peripheral neurons and glia, and birth defects arise when the cartilage/neuronal/glial progenitors fail to differentiate. PRDM16 is a transcriptional regulator containing both zinc‐finger and SET domains, implicated in craniofacial development and orofacial

Reduced size of larvae and small fish linked to warming and reduced prey density

Ecography, EarlyView.
Body size is an integrative trait that has declined across many ecological assemblages in the last decades. Changes in body size of early life stages and small‐bodied fish are driven by complex interactions between size‐dependent mortality, and temperature‐ and food‐dependent growth, and can have consequences for recruitment to the adult stock and food

Isotopic niches reveal the trophic structure of the cetacean community in the oceanic waters around the Azores

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionThe oceanic waters around the Azores host a high diversity of cetaceans, with 28 species of toothed and baleen whales present year-round or seasonally.

Spatio‐temporal dynamics of ringed seal density and habitat use in the Arctic's Last Ice Area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming at approximately four times the global rate, driving widespread decline in sea ice extent, thickness, and seasonal duration. The ecological consequences of these rapid changes remain poorly understood within the Last Ice Area, a region that includes northern Ellesmere Island and the northwest of Greenland, projected to retain ...

Niche overlap across landscape variability in summer between two large herbivores using eDNA metabarcoding.

PLoS ONE
Understanding the relationship between a species feeding strategy and its environment (trophic ecology) is critical to assess environmental requirements and improve management policies. However, measuring trophic interactions remains challenging.

Feeding biology of Amphisbaena brasiliana () (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We describe the diet composition of Amphisbaena brasiliana in Santarém, western Pará, and compare diet composition between the dry and rainy seasons. A total of 108 specimens deposited in herpetological collections were analysed, comprising 59 females ...
