To study the impact of necroptosis-induced chronic inflammation on age-related diseases and aging, two knockin mouse models ( Ripk3 -KI and Mlkl -KI) were generated that overexpress two genes involved in necroptosis ( Ripk3 or Mlkl ) when crossed to Cre transgenic mice. Crossing Ripk3 -KI or Mlkl -KI mice to albumin-Cre transgenic mice produced hepatocyte specific hRipk3 -KI or hMlkl -KI mice, which express the two transgenes...

Aim Lepidoptera is a highly diverse, predominantly herbivorous insect order, with species transported to outside their native range largely facilitated by the global trade of plants and plant‐based goods. Analogous to island disharmony, we examine invasion disharmony, where species filtering during invasions increases systematic compositional differences between native and non‐native species assemblages, and test whether some...

Pollinator declines have prompted efforts to assess how land‐use change affects insect pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Yet many tools to measure insect pollination services require substantial landscape‐scale data and technical expertise. In expert workshops, 3 straightforward methods (desk‐based method, field survey, and empirical manipulation with exclusion experiments) for rapid insect polli...

Phytoplankton photosynthetic physiology can be investigated through single-turnover variable chlorophyll fluorescence (ST-ChlF) approaches, which carry unique potential to autonomously collect data at high spatial and temporal resolution. Over the past decades, significant progress has been made in the development and application of ST-ChlF methods in aquatic ecosystems, and in the interpretation of the resulting observations....
