How conifers adapt to the cold.
I n convergent evolution, different species independently acquire similar traits. Knowing whether divergent species use the same or different genetic solutions to adapt to similar selection pressures can illuminate innate constraints on underlying molecular networks. Most cases of convergence that are understood at the genetic level are relatively simple, involving one or a few genes. On page 1...
متن کاملHow to measure human adaptation in extreme environments: the case of Antarctic wintering-over.
BACKGROUND Whether wintering-over causes cognitive and sensory impairment and associated adaptation problems is still a subject of debate. Conflicting results reported in the literature may be due to the difference in the experimental tasks. Moreover, interpersonal variability can hide the effects. HYPOTHESIS Performance on cognitive and psychomotor tasks can be an indicator of adaptation pro...
متن کاملHow do tumours adapt to nutrient stress?
Reduced blood flow contributes to tumour hypoxia and nutrient deprivation forcing cancer cells to adapt to ensure survival. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Ye et al show that a stress response pathway including the eIF2 kinase GCN2 and its downstream target, the transcriptional activator ATF4, is critical for proliferation and survival of tumour cells after starvation for amino acids or gluc...
متن کاملHow Production Firms Adapt to War
From its inception, development economics has revered the industrialization process. Economists from Smith to Rostow to Gershenkron to Lewis have emphasized the importance of industrial factories as crucibles in which the division of labor is refined, a labor force is developed, and technical knowledge is generated and shared. And though the poorest countries with weak industrial sectors are al...
متن کاملBacteria-algae relationships in Antarctic sea ice
Energy transfer in microbial food webs is partly quantified by the relationship between bacterial and algal biomass. Tight spatial relationships suggest active bacterial assimilation of dissolved photosynthate in temperate marine and fresh waters. However, studies in the Antarctic suggest that bacterial biomass generation from algal-derived dissolved organic matter is highly variable across sea...
