Trophic plasticity of omnivorous fishes in natural and human‐dominated landscapes
(Wiley, 2023-11-27)
The persistence of diverse communities and functioning ecosystems under increasing anthropogenic pressure relies on food web rewiring and the ability of animals to expand or change their diet in disturbed ecosystems. We ...
Linking anatomical and histological traits of the digestive tract to resource consumption and assimilation of omnivorous tetra fishes.
(Wiley, 2024-05-02)
This study explores the interplay between digestive tract traits, food intake, and assimilation in omnivorous tetra fishes (Psalidodon bifasciatus, P. aff. gymnodontus, and Bryconamericus ikaa) from the Iguaçu River basin, ...
Genomic insights into the population history and adaptive traits of Latin American Criollo cattle.
(2024-03)
Criollo cattle, the descendants of animals brought by Iberian colonists to the Americas, have been the subject of natural and human-mediated selection in novel tropical agroecological zones for centuries. Consequently, ...
Digenic inheritance involving a muscle-specific protein kinase and the giant titin protein causes a skeletal muscle myopathy.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-01)
In digenic inheritance, pathogenic variants in two genes must be inherited together to cause disease. Only very few examples of digenic inheritance have been described in the neuromuscular disease field. Here we show that ...
mTOR-regulated mitochondrial metabolism limits mycobacterium-induced cytotoxicity.
(2022-09-29)
Necrosis of macrophages in the granuloma, the hallmark immunological structure of tuberculosis, is a major pathogenic event that increases host susceptibility. Through a zebrafish forward genetic screen, we identified the ...
Universal DNA methylation age across mammalian tissues (vol 3, pg 1144, 2023)
(Nature, 2023-09-06)
Naked mole-rats have distinctive cardiometabolic and genetic adaptations to their underground low-oxygen lifestyles.
(Nature Research, 2024-03-27)
The naked mole-rat Heterocephalus glaber is a eusocial mammal exhibiting extreme longevity (37-year lifespan), extraordinary resistance to hypoxia and absence of cardiovascular disease. To identify the mechanisms behind ...
Parasite-mediated predation determines infection in a complex predator-prey-parasite system.
(The Royal Society, 2024-04-24)
The interplay of host-parasite and predator-prey interactions is critical in ecological dynamics because both predators and parasites can regulate communities. But what is the prevalence of infected prey and predators when ...
Cochlea development shapes bat sensory system evolution.
(2023-11-23)
Sensory organs must develop alongside the skull within which they are largely encased, and this relationship can manifest as the skull constraining the organs, organs constraining the skull, or organs constraining one ...
Specific DNMT3C flanking sequence preferences facilitate methylation of young murine retrotransposons.
(2024-05-16)
The DNA methyltransferase DNMT3C appeared as a duplication of the DNMT3B gene in muroids and is required for silencing of young retrotransposons in the male germline. Using specialized assay systems, we investigate the ...
