Primary domestication and early uses of the emblematic olive tree: palaeobotanical, historical and molecular evidence from the Middle EastOur knowledge of the origins of olive tree domestication in the Middle East and on the processes governing its extension and persistence in different vegetation types from prehistory through antiquity to modern times derives from diverse sources, spanning the biological sciences to the humanities. Nonetheless, it lacks a robust overview that may lead to floating interpretations. This is es... ... hiện toàn bộ

ON THE DEFINITIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF DOMINANCE AND TERRITORIALITYSummary 1. Dominance/subordinance is a relationship between two individuals in which one defers to the other in contest situations. Each such relationship represents an adaptive compromise for each individual in which the benefits and costs of giving in or not giving in are compared. Familiar associates in groups or neighbours on nearby territories may develop relat... ... hiện toàn bộ

Body size variation in insects: a macroecological perspectiveBody size is a key feature of organisms and varies continuously because of the effects of natural selection on the size‐dependency of resource acquisition and mortality rates. This review provides a critical and synthetic overview of body size variation in insects from a predominantly macroecological (large‐scale temporal and spatial) perspective. Because of the importance of understanding... ... hiện toàn bộ

Oligomerization and nanocluster organization render specificityABSTRACT Nanoclusters are anchored to membranes, either within them or in the cytoplasm latched onto the cytoskeleton, whose reorganization can regulate their activity. Nanoclusters have been viewed in terms of cooperativity and activation; here we perceive nanocluster organization from a conformational standpoint. This leads us to suggest that while single molecule... ... hiện toàn bộ

SIALIC ACID AND THE SOCIAL BEEIAVIOUR OF CELLSSummary 1. It is suggested that specific carbohydrate side‐chains of membrane glycoproteins are the sites for cell recognition or adhesion when the terminal sugar, sialic acid, is absent. 2. It is suggested that sialic acid plays a ‘protective’ or ‘blocking’ role in cell interactions so that addition of sialic acid to asialo side‐chains converts them... ... hiện toàn bộ

A comparative view on mechanisms and functions of skeletal remodelling in teleost fish, with special emphasis on osteoclasts and their functionABSTRACT Resorption and remodelling of skeletal tissues is required for development and growth, mechanical adaptation, repair, and mineral homeostasis of the vertebrate skeleton. Here we review for the first time the current knowledge about resorption and remodelling of the skeleton in teleost fish, the largest and most diverse group of extant vertebrates. Teleost s... ... hiện toàn bộ

Endocrine disruption in aquatic systems: up‐scaling research to address ecological consequencesABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs ) can alter biological function in organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations and are a significant threat to aquatic biodiversity, but there is little understanding of exposure consequences for populations, communities and ecosystems. The pervasive n... ... hiện toàn bộ

Isotopic ecology ten years after a call for more laboratory experimentsAbstract About 10 years ago, reviews of the use of stable isotopes in animal ecology predicted explosive growth in this field and called for laboratory experiments to provide a mechanistic foundation to this growth. They identified four major areas of inquiry: (1) the dynamics of isotopic incorporation, (2) mixing models, (3) the problem of routing, and (4) trophic ... ... hiện toàn bộ
