Recent studies have documented rates of evolution of ecologically important phenotypes
sufficiently fast that they have the potential to impact the outcome of ecological interactions …

Natriuretic peptides, produced in the heart, bind to the natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA)
and cause vasodilation and natriuresis important in the regulation of blood pressure. We …

The effect of human activities on animal populations is widely debated, particularly since a
recent decision by the US Department of the Interior to ban snowmobiles from national parks. …

Tetrahydrofolate (THF) polyglutamates are a family of cofactors that carry and chemically
activate one‐carbon units for biosynthesis. THF‐mediated one‐carbon metabolism is a …

Natural selection can lead to rapid changes in organisms, which can in turn influence
ecosystem processes 1 . A key factor in the functioning of lake ecosystems is the rate at which …

Unprecedented agricultural intensification and increased crop yield will be necessary to feed
the burgeoning world population, whose global food demand is projected to double in the …

Mice lacking natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA) have marked cardiac hypertrophy and
chamber dilatation disproportionate to their increased blood pressure (BP), suggesting, in …

The cytochrome bc 1 complex is an essential component of the electron transport chain in
most prokaryotes and in eukaryotic mitochondria. The catalytic subunits of the complex that …

RNA/DNA hybrids form when RNA hybridizes with its template DNA generating a three-stranded
structure known as the R-loop. Knowledge of how they form and resolve, as well as …

The mechanisms by which fetal membranes (FM) rupture during the birth process are unknown.
We have recently reported that FM weaken, at least in part, because of a developmental …
