Spatial heterogeneity of the cytosol revealed by machine learning-based 3D particle tracking
(American Society for Cell Biology, 2020-06-29)The spatial structure and physical properties of the cytosol are not well understood. Measurements of the material state of the cytosol are challenging due to its spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Recent development of ... -
Buzzards Bay Water Quality Data from the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s Baywatchers Program 1992-2018 August 2020 version
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2020-08-28)The Buzzards Bay Coalition’s Baywatchers Monitoring Program collected summertime water quality information at more than 150 stations around Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts from 1992 to 2018. Baywatchers monitoring data document ... -
Conserved metabolite regulation of stress granule assembly via AdoMet
(Rockefeller University Press, 2020-07-01)Stress granules (SGs) are evolutionarily conserved condensates of ribonucleoproteins that assemble in response to metabolic stresses. Because aberrant SG formation is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), ... -
Cover crops and chicken grazing in a winter fallow field improve soil carbon and nitrogen contents and decrease methane emissions
(Nature Research, 2020-07-28)Using symbiotic farming methods [cover crops and chicken grazing (+ C)] in a winter fallow field, we found that the soil organic matter and total nitrogen of the + C treatment were 5.2% and 26.6% higher, respectively, than ... -
"Whole-body imaging of neural and muscle activity during behavior in hydra vulgaris: effect of osmolarity on contraction bursts"
(Society for Neuroscience, 2020-07-22)The neural code relates the activity of the nervous system to the activity of the muscles to the generation of behavior. To decipher it, it would be ideal to comprehensively measure the activity of the entire nervous system ... -
Microbial diversity drives carbon use efficiency in a model soil
(Nature Research, 2020-07-23)Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a central role in regulating the flow of ... -
Ink release and swimming behavior in the oceanic Ctenophore Eurhamphaea vexilligera
(University of Chicago Press, 2020-06-08)Of the more than 150 ctenophore species, the oceanic ctenophore Eurhamphaea vexilligera is notable for its bright orange-yellow ink, secreted from numerous small vesicles that line its substomodeal comb rows. To date, in ... -
Shared up-regulation and contrasting down-regulation of gene expression distinguish desiccation-tolerant from intolerant green algae
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-07-21)Among green plants, desiccation tolerance is common in seeds and spores but rare in leaves and other vegetative green tissues. Over the last two decades, genes have been identified whose expression is induced by desiccation ... -
α-Synuclein-112 impairs synaptic vesicle recycling consistent with its enhanced membrane binding properties
(Frontiers Media, 2020-05-29)Synucleinopathies are neurological disorders associated with α-synuclein overexpression and aggregation. While it is well-established that overexpression of wild type α-synuclein (α-syn-140) leads to cellular toxicity and ... -
Far-field unlabeled super-resolution imaging with superoscillatory illumination
(AIP Publishing, 2020-06-19)Unlabeled super-resolution is the next grand challenge in imaging. Stimulated emission depletion and single-molecule microscopies have revolutionized the life sciences but are still limited by the need for reporters (labels) ... -
Long-term imaging of the photosensitive, reef-building coral Acropora muricata using light-sheet illumination
(Nature Research, 2020-06-25)Coral reefs are in alarming decline due to climate emergency, pollution and other man-made disturbances. The numerous ecosystem services derived from coral reefs are underpinned by the growth and physical complexity of ... -
A demographic and evolutionary analysis of maternal effect senescence
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-06-29)Maternal effect senescence—a decline in offspring survival or fertility with maternal age—has been demonstrated in many taxa, including humans. Despite decades of phenotypic studies, questions remain about how maternal ... -
Phosphoregulation provides specificity to biomolecular condensates in the cell cycle and cell polarity
(Rockefeller University Press, 2020-07-06)Biomolecular condensation is a way of organizing cytosol in which proteins and nucleic acids coassemble into compartments. In the multinucleate filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii, the RNA-binding protein Whi3 regulates the ... -
Enhanced carbon uptake and reduced methane emissions in a newly restored wetland
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-01-04)Wetlands play an important role in reducing global warming potential in response to global climate change. Unfortunately, due to the effects of human disturbance and natural erosion, wetlands are facing global extinction. ... -
Long-term reliability of the figaro TGS 2600 solid-state methane sensor under low-Arctic conditions at Toolik Lake, Alaska
(European Geosciences Union, 2020-05-27)The TGS 2600 was the first low-cost solid-state sensor that shows a response to ambient levels of CH4 (e.g., range ≈1.8–2.7 µmol mol−1). Here we present an empirical function to correct the TGS 2600 signal for temperature ... -
Decreased soil organic matter in a long-term soil warming experiment lowers soil water holding capacity and affects soil thermal and hydrological buffering
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-04-04)Long‐term soil warming can decrease soil organic matter (SOM), resulting in self‐reinforcing feedback to the global climate system. We investigated additional consequences of SOM reduction for soil water holding capacity ... -
Comparative transcriptomics of an arctic foundation species, tussock cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum), during an extreme heat event
(Nature Research, 2020-06-02)Tussock cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum) is a foundation species for much of the arctic moist acidic tundra, which is currently experiencing extreme effects of climate change. The Arctic is facing higher summer temperatures ... -
The effect of bacteria on planula-larvae settlement and metamorphosis in the octocoral Rhytisma fulvum fulvum
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-30)While increasing evidence supports a key role of bacteria in coral larvae settlement and development, the relative importance of environmentally-acquired versus vertically-transferred bacterial population is not clear. ... -
