15 صفحه اولEvolution in plant populations as a driver of ecological changes in arthropod communities.
Heritable variation in traits can have wide-ranging impacts on species interactions, but the effects that ongoing evolution has on the temporal ecological dynamics of communities are not well understood. Here, we identify three conditions that, if experimentally satisfied, support the hypothesis that evolution by natural selection can drive ecological changes in communities. These conditions ar...
متن کاملFeeding Hungry Neurons Astrocytes Deliver Food for Thought
Among the proposed roles for astrocytes in the CNS is nutritive support for neurons. In this issue of Neuron, Voutsinos-Porche et al. provide evidence that astrocyte uptake of synaptic glutamate triggers astrocytic glycolysis and release of lactate, which in turn nourishes neurons and sustains neuronal activity.
متن کاملClimate as a Driver of Evolutionary Change
The link between biodiversity and climate has been obvious to biologists since the work of von Humboldt in the early 1800s, but establishing the relationship of climate to ecological and evolutionary patterns is more difficult. On evolutionary timescales, climate can affect supply of energy by biotic and abiotic effects. Some of the best evidence for a link between biodiversity and climate come...
متن کاملFood for Thought: Diet as a Risk Factor for CKD.
median follow-up was for 21 years. During this really long follow-up, they identified 2,351 cases of incident CKD. They carefully chose the definition of incident CKD. It was defined as eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 at any follow-up visit accompanied by >25% decline in eGFR from baseline. This definition is important, as it excludes those whose eGFR merely dropped from 61 to 59 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . In ...
