Modelling transmission and control of Toxoplasma gondii in New Zealand farmland by Rachelle N. Binny, Graham J. Hickling, Alex James, Chris N. Niebuhr

“…In New Zealand’s rural environments, T. gondii creates economic losses for the farming industry and threatens vulnerable native avifauna and marine mammals. Predator control of rodents and feral cats has potential to reduce or even eliminate transmission of T. gondii on farms; however, the efficacy of such management is uncertain. …”

Inferring the dynamics of diversification: a coalescent approach. by Hélène Morlon, Matthew D Potts, Joshua B Plotkin

“…We then compare the performance of different diversification scenarios in explaining a set of 289 phylogenies representing amphibians, arthropods, birds, mammals, mollusks, and flowering plants. Our results indicate that speciation rates typically decay over time, but that diversity is still expanding at present. …”

Clocking In Time to Gate Memory Processes: The Circadian Clock Is Part of the Ins and Outs of Memory by Oliver Rawashdeh, Rex Parsons, Erik Maronde

“…The circadian regulation of memory performance is evolutionarily conserved, independent of the type and complexity of the learning paradigm tested, and not specific to crepuscular, nocturnal, or diurnal organisms. In mammals, long-term memory (LTM) formation is tightly coupled to de novo gene expression of plasticity-related proteins and posttranslational modifications and relies on intact cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling. …”

Trend in Ambient Ozone and an Attempt to Detect Its Effect on Biota in Forest Ecosystem. Step I of Lithuanian Studies by Algirdas Augustaitis, Ingrida Augustaitiene, Almantas Kliucius, Gintautas Mozgeris, Gintaras Pivoras, Rasele Girgzdiene, Kestutis Arbaciauskas, Irena Eitminaviciute, Reda Mazeikyte

“…The presented study aimed to explore the relationships between ambient ozone (O3) and tree defoliation, specific diversity, and abundance of soil microarthropods, stream macroinvertebrates, and small mammals (mainly rodents) in order to test the hypothesis that changes in the considered objects of the forest ecosystem could be related to changes in ambient O3, concentration of which is below critical level. …”

Assessment of comminution capacity related to molar intercuspation in catarrhines using a chewing simulator by Axelle EC Walker, Franck Guy, Christian Salles, Ghislain Thiery, Vincent Lazzari

“…Mammalian molars play a central role during chewing, or food comminution, through cyclic dental occlusion. Mammals fragment food items with varying degrees of efficiency depending on their dental morphology, suggesting an adaptive link that is yet to be assessed. …”

How do monomorphic bacteria evolve? The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the awkward population genetics of extreme clonality by Stritt, Christoph, Gagneux, Sebastien

“…In this review, we highlight the challenges of extreme clonality by discussing population genetic inference with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, a group of closely related obligate bacterial pathogens of mammals. We show how uncertainties underlying quantitative models and verbal arguments affect previous conclusions about the way these organisms evolve. …”

Gab Docking Proteins in Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and Inflammation by Yoshikazu Nakaoka, Issei Komuro

“…The docking proteins of the Grb2-associated binder (Gab) family have emerged as crucial signaling compartments in metazoans. In mammals, the Gab proteins, consisting of Gab1, Gab2, and Gab3, are involved in the amplification and integration of signal transduction evoked by a variety of extracellular stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, antigens, and other molecules. …”

From Scientific Research to Geoconservation and Geopark by Dan Grigorescu

“…The Haţeg region of Transylvania-Romania, known as the “Haţeg Country”, due to its specific character as a region wholly encircled by mountains, has been renowned for over a century for its palaeontological geosites from which dinosaur bones of several species, dinosaur eggs and hatchlings, were unearthed along with numerous other taxa representative of all the major vertebrate groups: fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The region illustrates the phenomenon of “insular dwarfism”, linked to the lengthy persistence of animals in isolated habitats. …”
