DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-54910-1_2
Abstract: In the presence of oxygen, Euglena gracilis mitochondria function much like mammalian mitochondria. Under anaerobiosis, E. gracilis mitochondria perform a malonyl-CoA independent synthesis of fatty acids leading to accumulation of wax esters, which serve as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00276-021-02738-1
Abstract: Semitendinosus and gracilis muscles whose tendons are used in surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament maintain their contractile ability, but the peak torque angle of hamstring muscles shifted to a shallow angle postoperatively. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.09.003
Abstract: The observable diversity of antipredator defences across organisms demonstrates predation's impact on trait evolution. The functions of many traits that are presumed to have an antipredator function have never been directly tested. The spiny orb-weaving… read more here.
