Proteome Signature of Alzheimer-Like Phenotypes in Frontal Cortices From Young and Old Individuals With Down SyndromeNARA Subscribed
Down syndrome (DS) stands out as the most prevalent genetic contributor to intellectual disability, marked by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 (HSA21). Notably, individuals with DS exhibit significant neuropathological changes for a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), typically by the age of 50 years. To search for and identify biomarkers crucial for detecting and understanding the mechanisms involved in DS ne...
Colony life history of the tropical arboreal ant, Cephalotes goniodontus De Andrade, 1999NARA Subscribed
Arboreal ants are ecologically important in tropical forests, but there are few studies using DNA markers to examine their population and colony structure. Colonies of the arboreal turtle ant Cephalotes goniodontus create trail networks through the canopy of the tropical forest, in dense vegetation where it is difficult to determine how long a nest is used and how neighboring colonies partition space. We monitored 53 nest site...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Genomic responses to habitat conversion can be rapid, providing wildlife managers with time‐limited opportunities to enact recovery efforts that use population connectivity information that reflects predisturbance landscapes. Despite near‐complete biome conversion, such opportunities may still exist for the endemic fauna and flora of California's San Joaquin Desert, but comprehensive genetic data sets are lacking for nearly al...
Herbivory in global climate change research: direct effects of rising temperature on insect herbivoresNARA Subscribed
This review examines the direct effects of climate change on insect herbivores. Temperature is identified as the dominant abiotic factor directly affecting herbivorous insects. There is little evidence of any direct effects of CO 2 or UVB. Direct impacts of precipitation have been largely neglected in current research on climate change. Temperature directly affects development, survival, range and abundance. Species with a lar...
