DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.12926
Abstract: The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris can undergo anhydrobiosis. Several chemicals that inhibit successful anhydrobiosis in H. exemplaris have been identified, and these chemicals inhibit the activity of signaling molecules. In the present study, we investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.70131
Abstract: PREMISE Ecological niche differentiation of spore germination and sporophyte habitat promote the coexistence of fern species in the cloud forest, but the role of the gametophyte is unknown. Because fern sporophytes only establish where the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9589
Abstract: Abstract Climate change threatens biodiversity in a range of ways, including changing animal body sizes. Despite numerous examples of size declines related to increasing temperatures, patterns of size change are not universal, suggesting that one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.4288
Abstract: When exposed to desiccation stress, extremotolerant organisms from all domains of life produce protective disordered proteins with the potential to inform the design of excipients for formulating biologics and industrial enzymes. However, the mechanism(s) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.5107
Abstract: Interactions between proteins and osmolytes are ubiquitous within cells, assisting in response to environmental stresses. However, our understanding of protein–osmolyte interactions underlying desiccation tolerance is limited. Here, we employ solid‐state NMR (ssNMR) to derive information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.70192
Abstract: It is often underappreciated that despite water being a requirement for life on Earth, organisms belonging to all taxonomic kingdoms have developed mechanisms to survive desiccation. These organisms, referred to as anhydrobiotes, accumulate specific biomolecules… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0783-1_33
Abstract: Fern spores and pollen are haploid plant germplasm of microscopic nature that can be used to regenerate full plants through germination (fern spores) or to fertilize seed-bearing plants through breeding programs (pollen). Due to their… read more here.
