Mutations in KEOPS-complex genes cause nephrotic syndrome with primary microcephaly
Martin Zenker, Corinne Antignac, Friedhelm Hildebrandt and colleagues report that mutations in OSGEP, TP53RK, TPRKB and LAGE3, genes encoding KEOPS-complex subunits, cause Galloway–Mowat syndrome, a recessive dis...

Mutations in nuclear pore genes NUP93, NUP205 and XPO5 cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome
Friedhelm Hildebrandt and colleagues identify mutations in NUP93, NUP205 or XPO5 in patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. They show that NUP93 and XPO5 interact with SMAD4 and that NUP93 mutations i...

An empirical predictive model for the flight period of Platypus koryoensis (Coleoptera: Platypodinae)
Between 2007 and 2009, field studies were conducted in four Quercus mongolica Fischer ex Ledebour forests in Korea to develop an empirical degree-day model for the flight period of the ambrosia beetle, Platypus k...

Changes in voltinism in a pine moth Dendrolimus spectabilis (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) population: implications of climate change
Climate change induces an alteration in the life cycle of many poikilothermic organisms, resulting in changes in the structure and function of communities. Changes in voltinism in the pine moth Dendrolimus specta...

A modeling study of soil temperature and moisture effects on population dynamics of Paronychiurus kimi (Collembola: Onychiuridae)
The effect of soil moisture on population dynamics of Paronychiurus kimi (Collembola) was examined by combining an empirical soil moisture model with a temperature-sensitive, stage-structured population model. Fi...
