Bridging the gap from ocean models to population dynamics of large marine predators: A model of mid-trophic functional groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The modeling of mid-trophic organisms of the pelagic ecosystem is a critical step in linking the coupled physical–biogeochemical models to population dynamics of large pelagic predators. Here, we provide an example of a modeling approach with definitions

Programming Gut Microbiome Function Through Cross‐Feeding: From Ecological Mechanisms to Live Biotherapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents gut microbial cross‐feeding through a Mechanism–Technology–Application framework. It summarizes major resource‐transfer modes, the experimental and computational tools used to establish causality, and potential interventions involving dietary substrates, live biotherapeutic products, and engineered microbes.

Multi‐trophic resource selection function enlightens the behavioural game between wolves and their prey [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2013
SummaryHabitat selection strategies translate into movement tactics, which reckon with the predator–prey spatial game. Strategic habitat selection analysis can therefore illuminate behavioural games. Cover types at potential encounter sites (i.e. intersections between movement paths of predator and prey) can be compared with cover types available (i ...

Nano Proton Scavengers Modulate Endosomal pH to Inhibit Microglial Activation and Enhance Stroke Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles buffer endo/lysosomal acidity in microglia by limiting V‐ATPase membrane recruitment and restoring endosomal homeostasis. Following systemic administration, they accumulate in the ischemic hemisphere partly through association with infiltrating immune cells, suppress TLR3/IRF3 and TLR4/NF‐κB signaling ...

Selectivity-Determining Steps in O2 Reduction Catalyzed by Iron(tetramesitylporphyrin)

open access: yes, 2020
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the cathode reaction in fuel cells and its selectivity for water over hydrogen peroxide production is important for these technologies. Iron porphyrin catalysts have long been studied for the ORR, but the origins of

Determination of Trophic Structure in Selected Freshwater Ecosystems by using Stable Isotope Analysis

open access: yesTropical Life Sciences Research, 2017
Stable isotope analysis has been used extensively to establish trophic relationships in many ecosystems. Present study utilised stable isotope signatures of carbon and nitrogen to identify trophic structure of aquatic food web in river and rice field ecosystems in Perak, northern peninsular Malaysia.

Biophysical Characterization and Proteomic Analysis of Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Different Neural Cell Lines

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study systematically compares small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from four neural cell lines, revealing how cellular origin shapes vesicle biophysical properties and proteomic cargo. Distinct, lineage‐specific signatures linked to neuronal, astrocytic, and microglial functions are identified, highlighting the importance of cell source ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Predator ontogeny determines trophic cascade strength in freshwater rock pools

open access: yesEcosphere, 2013
Ontogenetic changes in consumers can influence the magnitude and outcome of direct and indirect ecological interactions. Although most research has focused on the consequences of qualitative changes in diet (i.e., shifts in trophic guild between life ...

Comparative histological, histochemical, and histometric evaluation of the esophagus in two avian species with different feeding habits (Ciconia ciconia and Buteo buteo)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Histological structure of esophagus. Abstract The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the histological and histochemical organization of the esophagus in two avian species with different feeding ecologies. A total of 6 individuals were used for this purpose (3 storks, 3 common buzzards).
