The bradykinin 2 receptor (B2R) is one of two members of the kinin receptor family and is a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) that regulates important physiological processes including pain, inflammation, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Functionally, B2R is activated by the kinin peptides, bradykinin and kallidin. Carboxypeptidase cleavage of bradykinin and kallidin results in the formation of des-Arg9-bradykinin (DABK) and de...
Most of the global mesopelagic zone lies beyond the jurisdiction of any single government or entity, making equitable access and sustainable management for ecosystem services (ES) difficult. Here, a foresighting approach was used to examine the plausible consequences of four speculative scenarios of human activity on the mesopelagic zone and its associated ES. Large‐scale Harvest represented the provisioning ES, with concerns...
The need for ocean information has never been greater. From climate change to food security and extreme events, we need to understand the role of the ocean and better predict change and impact. This is only possible with the sustained collection of a key set of ocean observations. The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) coordinates international efforts to collect these Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs), which span physics, bi...
Aotearoa New Zealand’s marine carbon cycle in a changing climate – Current understanding and future directionsNARA Subscribed
The marine system plays a critical role in the global climate cycle, as a major control of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Marine primary production (photosynthesis) and remineralisation of organic carbon (respiration, degradation) determine the amount of CO 2 sequestered in marine sediments and deep‐water environments on century to millennial timescales. The stocks and fluxes of the marine carbon cycle are susceptible to...
Incorporating buccal mass planar mechanics and anatomical features improves neuromechanical modeling of Aplysia feeding behaviorNARA Subscribed
To understand how behaviors arise in animals, it is necessary to investigate both the neural circuits and the biomechanics of the periphery. A tractable model system for studying multifunctional control is the feeding apparatus of the marine mollusk Aplysia californica . Previous in silico and in roboto models have investigated how the nervous and muscular systems interact in this system. However, these models are still limite...
Mesopelagic Fish Traits: Functions and Trade‐OffsNARA Subscribed
Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of the world's oceans are estimated to account for the majority of the world's fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they are part of the biological carbon pump and have been reconsidered as a contribution to food security. Hence, there is an urgent need to understand how environmental conditions and species interactions shape their assemblages, and how they con...
