Slow climate velocities of mountain streams portend their role as refugia for cold-water biodiversity.
The imminent demise of montane species is a recurrent theme in the climate change literature, particularly for aquatic species that are constrained to networks and elevational rather than latitudinal retreat as temperatures increase. Predictions of widespread species losses, however, have yet to be fulfilled despite decades of climate change, suggesting that trends are much weaker than anticipa...
متن کاملSlow axonal transport: fast motors in the slow lane.
The bulk of neuronally synthesized proteins destined for the axon is transported in a phase of transport approximately 100 times slower (1mm/day) than the vesicular traffic of fast axonal transport (100mm/day). Of late, a number of studies have shed considerable light on the controversies and mechanisms surrounding this slow phase of axonal transport. Along-standing controversy has centered on ...
متن کاملDynein’s Life in the Slow Lane
Dynein synthesized in neuronal cell bodies is conveyed into the axon by slow transport, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this issue, Twelvetrees et al. (2016) propose a model where dynein is transported by direct-but transient-interactions with kinesin.
متن کاملA Complex System of Glacial Sub-Refugia Drives Endemic Freshwater Biodiversity on the Tibetan Plateau
Although only relatively few freshwater invertebrate families are reported from the Tibetan Plateau, the degree of endemism may be high. Many endemic lineages occur within permafrost areas, raising questions about the existence of isolated intra-plateau glacial refugia. Moreover, if such refugia existed, it might be instructive to learn whether they were associated with lakes or with more dynam...
متن کاملCoffee landscapes as refugia for native woody biodiversity as forest loss continues in southwest Ethiopia
Land-use changes threaten biodiversity and ecosystem services. Some of the last remaining forest fragments in Ethiopia, and the world’s only habitats that retain genetically diverse wild Arabica coffee populations, have experienced rapid recent conversion to coffee farms, plantations and agricultural fields. We examined patterns of remnant woody plant diversity in the remaining forests, and ass...
