Why might they be giants? Towards an understanding of polar gigantism.
Beginning with the earliest expeditions to the poles, over 100 years ago, scientists have compiled an impressive list of polar taxa whose body sizes are unusually large. This phenomenon has become known as 'polar gigantism'. In the intervening years, biologists have proposed a multitude of hypotheses to explain polar gigantism. These hypotheses run the gamut from invoking release from physical ...
متن کاملThey Might Be Giants: Does Syncytium Formation Sink or Spread HIV Infection?
While less appreciated than the ubiquitous process of cell fission (division), cell fusion events play crucial roles in all walks of life. In vertebrates, the multinucleated product of cell—cell fusion, referred to as a syncytium, is central to the structure and function of tissue types like skeletal muscle fibers and the fetal—maternal barrier in the placenta [1]. Syncytia have also been linke...
متن کاملRespiratory Biology: They Would Be Giants
A recent study has shown that respiratory structures are disproportionately oversized in larger insects, and that oxygen supply to leg muscles may be physically constrained in the largest modern insects. High oxygen concentrations during the Carboniferous may have alleviated these physical constraints allowing the evolution of gigantic arthropods.
متن کاملThe Link between Symbiotic Stars and Chemically-peculiar Red Giants
Barium stars and technetium-poor, extrinsic S stars are binary systems with a white dwarf companion, and with orbital elements similar to those of symbiotic systems. One may thus wonder whether these various families of binary systems involving red giant stars are somehow related. This question is actually twofold: (i) Do barium and binary S stars exhibit some symbiotic activity? (ii) Do symbio...
متن کاملWhy Do Low-Mass Stars Become Red Giants?
We revisit the problem of why stars become red giants. We modify the physics of a standard stellar evolution code in order to determine what does and what does not contribute to a star becoming a red giant. In particular, we have run tests to try to separate the effects of changes in the mean molecular weight and in the energy generation. The implications for why stars become red giants are dis...
