A body composition model to estimate mammalian energy stores and metabolic rates from body mass and body length, with application to polar bears
Download2009-01-01
Derocher, Andrew E., Klanjscek, Tin, Molnár, Péter K., Lewis, Mark A., Obbard, Martyn E.
Many species experience large fluctuations in food availability and depend on energy from fat and protein stores for survival, reproduction and growth. Body condition and, more specifically, energy stores thus constitute key variables in the life history of many species. Several indices exist to...

Abstract: A cluster of genes of the CYP6 family was found in a series of overlapping lambda DASH clones from a genomic library of the house fly, Musca domestica, Four complete genes, CYP6A3, CYP6A4, CYP6A5, and CYP6C1, and fragments of two other genes, CYP6A6 and CYP6C2, were closely linked on a...

The ability to modify RNA secondary structure is crucial for numerous cellular processes. We have characterized two RNA helicase genes, crhB and crhC, which are differentially expressed in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. crhC transcription is limited specifically to cold shock...

A common fungal associate of the spruce bark beetle metabolizes the stilbene defenses of Norway spruce

Paetz, Christian, Wadke, Namita, Brand, Willi A., Wright, Louwrance P., Gershenzon, Jonathan, Schmidt, Axel, Fenning, Trevor M., Schneider, BerndBohlmann, Joerg, Hammerbacher, Almuth
Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests suffer periodic fatal attacks by the bark beetle Ips typographus and its fungal associate, Ceratocystis polonica. Norway spruce protects itself against fungal and bark beetle invasion by the production of terpenoid resins, but it is unclear whether resins or...

Guan, L., Guo, Y., Liu, T., Li, H., Wang, J., Zheng, W.M., Wong, G.K.
Background The main two sorts of automatic gene annotation frameworks are ab initio and alignment-based, the latter splitting into two sub-groups. The first group is used for intra-species alignments, among which are successful ones with high specificity and speed. The other group contains more...

A Fisher–KPP Model with a Nonlocal Weighted Free Boundary: Analysis of How Habitat Boundaries Expand, Balance or Shrink
Download2020-11-05
Chunxi Feng, Mark A. Lewis, Chuncheng Wang, Hao Wang
In this paper, we propose a novel free boundary problem to model the movement of single species with a range boundary. The spatial movement and birth/death processes of the species found within the range boundary are assumed to be governed by the classic Fisher–KPP reaction–diffusion equation,...

Background: Bast fibres from the phloem tissues of flax are scientifically interesting and economically useful due in part to a dynamic system of secondary cell wall deposition. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the process of cell wall development in flax, we extracted...

Reid, T.A., Cahill, J.F., Navabi, A.
Competition with weeds decreases crop yields globally. Breeding for competitive ability against elevated weed pressure can be difficult because the selection for specific traits which contribute to competitive ability may result in yield losses. The widely studied International Triticeae Mapping...
