Issues

Summary: Ectotherms can experience a wide range of optimal to lethal temperatures due to environmental variation. Megachile rotundata is a solitary bee that is immobile during spring development and must endure changes in temperature. Thermal performance curves were generated for developing Megachile rotundata pupae using a new respirometry system.

Summary: A non-native dominant oligochaete species is a silent threat to the freshwater ecosystems of Iran.

Summary: Parallel measurements of hypoxia inducible factor protein and mRNA support post-translational protein stabilization rather than new transcription in the initial response of fish to low oxygen.

Summary: Our work highlights a novel role for the Cajal body marker protein, coilin, in m6A RNA methylation by which it influences the expression of METTL3 and participates in microRNA biogenesis.

Summary: Complex bivariate allometry in logarithmic domain is caused by a requirement for an explicit intercept in the power equation describing untransformed observations.

Summary: Mouse oocytes can be karyotyped efficiently and reliably by applying multicolour FISH to chromosome slides prepared by a gradual fixation/air-drying method best suited to avoid the artificial loss of chromosomes.
