Fungal pathogens are recognized by Dectin-1, a pattern recognition receptor expressed on mammalian innate immune cells. Dectin-1 detects β-glucans, which are polymers of glucose that are a main component of the fungal cell wall. While purified, soluble β-glucans have been used in the clinic as...

Many autecological effects of temperature on fish are known, and fishery biologists have begun to incorporate this knowledge into population-level relations that can be used to assess possible effects of climatic warming on fishes and their habitats. However, the problem of extrapolating these or...

Density-Dependent Effects and the Regulation of Crucian Carp Populations in Single-Species Ponds
Download1994
Tonn, W. M., Holopainen, I. J., Paszkowski, C. A.
Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) is often the only fish species present in small ponds of northern Europe. Such populations are typically at high densities and consist primarily of small, relatively slender, and short-lived fish; populations in multispecies assemblages in lakes display opposite...

Early life exposure to stress can have life-long effects on an organism. These effects may be detrimental, or they may be adaptive if they allow the organism to develop an adult phenotype which better matches the environment predicted by the stressor. Early life stress influences many traits,...
