Determining the best method to survey species of interest is critical for successful field research projects. When sampling herpetofauna, pitfall and funnel trapping allow a researcher to examine multiple individuals but require considerable field effort

E3 ligase Praja1 mediates ubiquitination and degradation of microtubule‐associated protein tau
E3 ligase Praja1, but not its paralogue Praja2, recognizes and ubiquitinates tau protein for proteasomal degradation. This newly identified function of Praja1‐mediated tau degradation suggests its role in protein quality control, which may provide insights into the pathogenesis of tauopathies.

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Can Europe Sustain a New Rules‐Based Geopolitical Order?
Abstract The European Union (EU) faces a unique opportunity to lead a new rules‐based international order in an era of American retreat and heightened global uncertainty. Yet its path to leadership is rife with obstacles. In this article, we draw on international relations literatures on international political economy and comparative politics ...

CryoFluorSEM – A new approach for fluorescence and EM imaging of cryofractured plant samples
Abstract Cryo‐scanning electron microscopy (CryoSEM) permits the preparation and detailed imaging of bulky samples while keeping them in a hydrated state. For plant biology, cryofractures give information on cell ultrastructure and tissue organisation within a much larger context that is the whole organ or organism.

The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...

Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.

AGP and EXO‐LIKE genes promote brassinosteroid‐dependent anisotropic growth
Summary The brassinosteroid pathway promotes anisotropic cell expansion; however, the effectors in this process remain unclear. Candidates include ARABINOGALACTAN PROTEIN (AGP) genes, which are prominent brassinosteroid‐responsive transcriptional targets, and EXORDIUM (EXO)‐LIKE (EXL) genes.

ABSTRACT The escalating global temperatures and intensifying heat stress events pose significant threats to maize productivity worldwide. Uncovering key thermotolerance genes and their functional mechanisms is thus critical for developing climate‐resilient crops.

ABSTRACT Plant immune receptors detect both microbe‐derived and endogenous signals to activate defences. XA21, a rice immune receptor, confers strong race‐specific resistance to a subset of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) strains by recognising the microbial sulphated peptide RaxX.
