Leaf litter decomposition rates vary widely in stream ecosystems and understanding how decay over time ( k ) varies by species can be critical to estimating allochthonous inputs and temporal changes in energy availability in streams. We dep...

Plants synthesize compounds that interact with animal nervous systems to avoid predation, but the behavioral effects and underlying mechanisms of commonly encountered plant natural products remain understudied. We tested whether cannabis, g...
Colcemid can double the ploidy of germ cells in female larvae, but not in male larvae, and only rarely in female adults [0.03%]
秋水仙素可以将雌性幼虫的生殖细胞二倍体化，但对雄性幼虫和成年雌性作用甚微

Isolated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder that increases methylmalonic acid by affecting the metabolism of propionyl-CoA. Mutations in multiple genes cause MMA, however, those in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase ( MMU...
Invasive African fig flies ( Zaprionus indianus ) have reduced cold acclimation ability compared to cosmopolitan drosophilid species [0.03%]

Zaprionus indianus , an invasive species of fruit fly originating from Africa, has successfully inhabited eastern North America but is thought to be seasonally limited by cold temperatures. We compared the cold acclimation abilities of Z. i...
An activating mutation in AGEF-1, a putative Arf GEF, causes yolk extrusion from C. elegans embryos [0.03%]
