Article discusses how the south Florida subspecies of the Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus extimus) is distinctly paler and smaller than other subspecies, reproduces at a lower rate, and can occupy very different habitats such as open marshes and grasslands with only scattered trees. The authors evaluated population differentiation between the south Florida population of Red-shouldered Hawks and two populations of eastern Red-shouldered Hawks (B. l. lineatus) in suburban (Cincinnati) and rural (Hocking Hills) environments in southern Ohio.

Article asserts that oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is an important crop that is cultivated for the oil (mainly triacylglycerol; TAG) it produces in its seeds. The author's results show that up-regulation of these key enzymes differentially affects lipid composition and distribution as well as lipid-associated gene expression, providing important information which could be used to improve crop properties by metabolic engineering.

This article combines in silico structural predictions with in planta complementation of the severely defective mtnip-1 mutant plants to understand the role of a series of distinct amino acids in the transporter’s function. The findings add to the knowledge of the mechanism of alternative conformational changes as well as symport transport in NPFs and enhance knowledge of the mechanisms for nitrate signaling.

This article is a dataset that describes behavioral results in zebrafish (Danio rerio) individually exposed to methanol, a solvent which is capable of altering physiology and behavior high concentrations.

Article using decadal datasets that span aquatic and terrestrial macrosystems and structural equation modeling to show that local temporal variability and spatial synchrony increase temporal variability for entire macrosystems. This analysis is among the first to provide a quantitative argument for the value of regional species diversity.

This article summarizes the best available information about managing ecological corridor systems. The aim with is to provide managers with a convenient guidance document and tool to assist in applying scientific management principles to management of corridors. It does not cover issues related to corridor design or political buy in, but focuses on how a corridor should be managed once it has been established.

Article studying climate adaptation using common snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina, as the model species. The genome and genetic variants identified here provide a foundation for future studies of adaptation to climate.

Article testing the hypothesis that preferential pHi regulation is a widespread strategy of acid–base regulation among fish by measuring pHi regulation in 10 different fish species that are broadly phylogenetically separated, spanning six orders, eight families and 10 genera.

Article exploring how to improve oil production in Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.).

Article discusses IslandCafe, a proposed method for genomic island detection.

Article studying the effect of MS222 on hemostasis in Zebrafish. The authors performed various assays and find that Hct values, the amount of blood collected, bleeding, and coagulation differ significantly between anesthetized and nonanesthetized fish. These results suggest that blood collected after MS222 anesthesia of zebrafish has altered hemostasis.

Article measuring blood parameters in the left aortae and atria of crocodilians. The findings do not support the hypothesis that a R–L shunt serves to deliver CO2 for the gastrointestinal system after feeding in crocodilians.

This article describes a refined method optimized for maize (Zea mays) seedling leaves, which not only provides a simple procedure for obtaining apoplast fluid, but also allows direct calculation of apoplast hydration at the time of harvest for every sample.

This article reports the complete genome sequences of 44 phages infecting Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 21022.

This article investigates the effects of chronic developmental hypoxia on cardiac mitochondrial function in embryonic and juvenile American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis).

This article uses a 3D conceptual farmework of 'critical windows' to examine whether the morphometry of Artemia franciscana is altered by salinity exposure during certain key periods of development.

This article reports the application of single-molecule real-time sequencing for determining the entire genome structure of the cyanotroph Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764.

This article involves mapping the probability of occurrence that the disease vector exists in the environment, mapping the incidence of Lyme disease in the human population and examining the spatial concordance between the probability map and incidence map.

This article studies the novel mutant allele hsi2-4, isolated in a genetic screen to identify Arabidopsis mutants with consitutively elevated expression of a glutathione S-transferase F8:luciferase reporter gene in Arabidopsis.

Article on oleanolic acid and its synthetic derivatives for the prevention and therapy of cancer with preclinical and clinical evidence.

Article on the targeted abrogation of diverse signal transduction cascades by emodin for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and cancer.

Article on emodin inhibiting growth and inducing apoptosis in an orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model by blocking activation of STAT3.

Article discussing the digital equivalence of biological neural AND-gate, OR-gate and MIN-gate.

This review article summarizes recent studies that have exploited the compatible interaction between Arabidopsis and the green peach aphid (GPA) to understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms utilized by plants to control aphid infestation, as well as genes and mechanisms that contribute to susceptibility.
