Isosmotic Contraction of Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells upon Activation of Purinergic Receptors: the Role of Chlorine Transport
AbstractWe studied the effect of the purinergic signaling system and the contribution of Cl – transporters to isosmotic contraction of vascular...

A framework for linking dispersal biology to connectivity across landscapes
ContextDispersal typically consists of three components—departure, transience and settlement—each of which can be influenced by the landscape. A...

Abnormal Winter Drought-Induced Transient Dieback of Korean Fir in the Montane Forests of Mt. Jirisan, South Korea
Although climate change-related concerns have long been raised regarding the sudden dieback of Korean fir ( Abies koreana ), the event’s etiology and...

A comprehensive and cost-effective approach for investigating passive dispersal in minute invertebrates with case studies of phytophagous eriophyid mites
Dispersal is a fundamental biological process that operates at different temporal and spatial scales with consequences for individual fitness,...

Imprints of indirect interactions on a resource-mediated ant–plant network across different levels of network organization
Indirect interactions are pivotal in the evolution of interacting species and the assembly of populations and communities. Nevertheless, despite...

Curiosity: The Strange Mussels of Mr. Van Aken (Maurizio Forli)
Shells, from prehistoric meal scraps, have become the main object of attention and have taken on symbolic meanings that, though varying over time,...

Longitudinal patterns in the skin microbiome of wild, individually marked frogs from the Sierra Nevada, California
The amphibian skin microbiome has been the focus of numerous studies because of the protective effects that some bacteria provide against the...

Roads constrain movement across behavioural processes in a partially migratory ungulate
BackgroundHuman disturbance alters animal movement globally and infrastructure, such as roads, can act as physical barriers that impact behaviour...

Sharp decreases in survival probabilities in the long-finned pilot whales in Strait of Gibraltar
The Strait of Gibraltar has some of the highest maritime activity in the world. Its populations of cetaceans are threatened by noise, chemical...

Proposing a framework for monitoring demographic parameters in local cetacean populations: the case of short-finned pilot whales in Madeira
Individuals from cetacean populations regularly using inshore waters can be more vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures than those living in offshore...

Testing for the effect of meteorological conditions on transient dynamics of a reed warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus population breeding in northern Iberia
Transients can have a severe impact on demographic parameter estimates. For instance, the use of visual counts or number of captures at a ringing...

Timing of birth determines lifetime survival in a Neotropical marsupial
Seasonal breeding is a common feature in the life history of marsupials and has been correlated with temperature, resource availability, and...

Evaluating connectivity models for conservation: insights from African lion dispersal patterns
ContextEvaluating connectivity and identifying corridors for protection is a central challenge in applied ecology and conservation. Rigorous...

Electron transfer and ROS production in brain mitochondria of intertidal and subtidal triplefin fish (Tripterygiidae)
While oxygen is essential for oxidative phosphorylation, O 2 can form reactive species (ROS) when interacting with electrons of mitochondrial electron...

Higher Variability in Fungi Compared to Bacteria in the Foraging Honey Bee Gut
Along with bacteria, fungi can represent a significant component of animal- and plant-associated microbial communities. However, we have only begun...

Colonization history meets further niche processes: how the identity of founders modulates the way predation structure fouling communities
Community assembly relies on deterministic niche-based processes (e.g., biotic interactions), and stochastic sources of unpredictable variation...
