Cathepsin K inhibition induces Raptor destabilization and mitochondrial dysfunction via Syk/SHP2/Src/OTUB1 axis-mediated signaling
The Raptor signaling pathway is a critical point of intervention in the invasion and progression of cancer. The non-receptor tyrosine kinase...

Phosphorylation of OTUB1 at Tyr 26 stabilizes the mTORC1 component, Raptor
Raptor plays a critical role in mTORC1 signaling. High expression of Raptor is associated with resistance of cancer cells to PI3K/mTOR inhibitors....
-
Real age prediction from the transcriptome with RAPToR
Transcriptomic data is often affected by uncontrolled variation among samples that can obscure and confound the effects of interest. This variation...

Wintering raptor species distribution in a semiarid Mediterranean region: the relevance of lowlands and open habitats as stopover sites
As land-use cover types affect wintering birds’ strategies, studying their habitat suitability for species conservation is relevant. Predictive...

Disclosing the hidden nucleotide sequences: a journey into DNA barcoding of raptor species in public repositories
BackgroundIn nucleotide public repositories, studies discovered data errors which resulted in incorrect species identification of several accipitrid...
-
Numeric response of a neotropical raptor to urbanization gradient in central Argentina
Human activities, through the development of agricultural and urbanized areas, are considered a threat to wildlife species. However, there are...
-
Isotopic niche partitioning and individual specialization in an Arctic raptor guild
Intra- and inter-specific resource partitioning within predator communities is a fundamental component of trophic ecology, and one proposed mechanism...
-
Breeding performance is explained for coloniality and phenology but not for urbanization in a generalist raptor bird
Urban sprawl is recognized to homogenize biota, with several species that fail to adapt to these new human scenarios. However, some species can live...
-
Top–down effects of raptor predation on northern bobwhite
Understanding how predators affect prey species is a central endeavor in applied ecology. Game birds are a culturally and economically important...

Raptor roosts as invasion archives: insights from the first black rat mitochondrial genome sequenced from the Caribbean
Raptor roosts, as accumulations of expelled pellets and nest material, serve as archives of past and present small mammal communities and could...

A giant raptor (Aves: Accipitridae) from the Pleistocene of southern Australia
The giant accipitrid Dynatoaetus gaffae gen. et sp. nov. is described from existing and newly collected material. Initial fossil remains were...

Breeding biology of the African Pygmy Falcon: long-term variation and seasonal decline in breeding performance of an arid zone raptor
Birds of prey are apex predators and understanding their life history can serve as a valuable baseline for investigating their ecological role. Pygmy...
-
Weather and food availability additively affect reproductive output in an expanding raptor population
The joint effects of interacting environmental factors on key demographic parameters can exacerbate or mitigate the separate factors’ effects on...
-
Inequality among offspring, correlates of recruitment and lifetime reproductive success in a long-lived raptor
Early-life conditions may impact an individual’s ability to survive long enough to reach breeding age as well as its lifetime reproductive success...
-
Environmental factors affecting the wintering raptor community in Armenia, Southern Caucasus
The species–habitat relationships can change during the year because of the seasonality of resources. Therefore, the investigation of habitat use by...
-
Use of DNA metabarcoding of bird pellets in understanding raptor diet on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China
BackgroundDiet analysis is essential to understanding the functional role of large bird species in food webs. Morphological analysis of regurgitated...
-
Living in the concrete jungle: a review and socio-ecological perspective of urban raptor habitat quality in Europe
Raptors can be important components of urban ecosystems due to their role as apex predators, the presence of which may bring benefits to people....
-
Density-dependent winter survival of immatures in an irruptive raptor with pulsed breeding
Highly mobile predators can show strong numerical responses to pulsed resources, sometimes resulting in irruptions where large numbers of young...
-
Compensation for wind drift during raptor migration improves with age through mortality selection
Each year, billions of flying and swimming migrants negotiate the challenging displacement imposed by travelling through a flowing medium. However,...
