The essential role of AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit RNA editing in the normal and diseased brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 AMPA receptors are comprised of different combinations of GluR1-GluR4 (also known as GluA1-GluA4 and GluR-A to GluR-D) subunits. The GluR2 subunit is subject to Q/R site RNA editing by the ADAR2 enzyme, which converts a codon for glutamine (Q), present ...

Do whales really increase the oceanic removal of atmospheric carbon?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Whales have been titled climate savers in the media with their recovery welcomed as a potential carbon solution. However, only a few studies were performed to date providing data or model outputs to support the hypothesis.

The International Whaling Commission—Beyond Whaling [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Since its establishment in 1946 as the international body intended to manage whaling, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has expanded its areas of interest to ensure the wider conservation of whales. Several key conservation topics have been taken forward under its auspices including climate change, chemical and noise pollution, marine debris ...

Killer whales and whaling: the scavenging hypothesis [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2005 Killer whales (Orcinus orca) frequently scavenged from the carcasses produced by whalers. This practice became especially prominent with large-scale mechanical whaling in the twentieth century, which provided temporally and spatially clustered floating carcasses associated with loud acoustic signals.
