Mite domatia — small structures on plant leaves that house mutualistic mites — are widespread across plants yet remain relatively understudied. Here we investigate the chemistry and micromorphology of mite domatia across sympatric species of broadleaf deciduous woody species that have convergently evolved tuft-form mite domatia. Specifically, we test whether domatia display similar micromorphological and chemical properties us...

Long axial field of view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanners (> 1 m axial FOV) provide an order of magnitude higher system sensitivity compared with conventional scanners. This creates opportunities for significant radiation dose reductions for patients, without loss of diagnostic image quality or increased scan time. This study aimed to investigate changes in radiation dose received by patients undergoing whole-body [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT stu...

Long‐lived calcifying marine biota are increasingly used as paleo‐archives for reconstructing ocean pH. They enable exploration of the rate and magnitude of ocean acidification in shallow‐water ecosystems serving as proxies for environmental pH reconstruction. However, shallow water systems often have highly variable carbonate chemistry, and the impact of this on the accuracy of pH reconstructions from long‐lived marine calcif...

We used satellite‐linked tags to evaluate dive behavior in offshore bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops spp.) near the island of Bermuda. The data provide evidence that bottlenose dolphins commonly perform both long (>272 s) and deep (>199 m) dives, with the deepest and longest dives being to 1,000 m and 826 s (13.8 min), respectively. The data show a relationship between dive duration and dive depth for dives longer than about 272...

The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex acts as a DNA helicase during DNA replication, and thereby regulates cell cycle progression and proliferation. In addition, MCM-complex components localize to centrosomes and play an independent role in ciliogenesis. Pathogenic variants in genes coding for MCM components and other DNA replication factors have been linked to growth and developmental disorders as Meier–Gorlin syndrome...

High‐resolution dive depth and acceleration recordings from nearshore (Sarasota Bay, dive depth Tursiops spp.) were used to estimate the diving metabolic rate (DMR) and the locomotor metabolic rate (LMR, L O 2 /min) during three phases of diving (descent, bottom, and ascent). For shallow dives (depth ≤ 30 m), we found no differences between the two ecotypes in the LMR during diving, nor during the postdive shallow interval bet...

Purpose of Review Fibro-adipogenic progenitors were first characterized in 2010 and later found to contribute significantly to muscle regeneration and mediate degenerative changes in muscle following injury. These progenitors were also found to have an influence on the rotator cuff muscle’s response to chronic injury which is defined by fibrosis accompanied by massive fatty degeneration. The purpose of this review is to highli...
