Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.02.032
Abstract: Transposable elements (TEs) heavily influence genome size variation between organisms. A new study on larvacean tunicates now shows that even non-autonomous TEs - small TEs that parasitize the enzymatic machinery of large, autonomous TEs -… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2019.05.004
Abstract: Abstract Earthquake prediction is fundamentally hampered by insufficient knowledge of the constitutive behavior of faults. Laboratory and theoretical work by Dieterich (1978) and Ruina (1983) formed the basis of rate-and-state friction, a constitutive framework that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.2c08271
Abstract: Nanoparticles are readily coated by proteins in biological systems. The protein layers on the nanoparticles, which are called the protein corona, influence the biological impacts of the nanoparticles, including internalization into cells and cytotoxicity. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcaa095
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS The idea that genome (size) evolution in eukaryotes could be driven by environmental factors is still vigorously debated. In extant plants, genome size correlates positively with stomatal size, leading to the idea… read more here.

Brain size evolution in the frog Fejervarya limnocharis supports neither the cognitive buffer nor the expensive brain hypothesis

DOI: 10.1111/jzo.12432
Abstract: Variable environmental conditions affect brain size evolution. To explain inter- and intraspecific brain size variation among vertebrates, two adaptive hypotheses – the expensive brain hypothesis (EBH) and the cognitive buffer hypothesis (CBH) – have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/gen-2022-0073
Abstract: Genome size evolution is known to be related with transposable elements, yet such relation in incipient species remains poorly understood. For decades, the willistoni subgroup of Drosophila has been a model for evolutionary studies because… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/met10101296
Abstract: Thermo-mechanical loads during hard turning lead to the formation of so-called White Layers on the machined surface. Characterized by a very fine microstructure and high hardness, White Layers have a negative effect on the fatigue… read more here.
