B efore 1979, kinases were only thought to stick phosphates on two of the twenty amino acids: serine and threonine. But then Tony Hunter discovered that tyrosine could also be phosphorylated (1, 2), thereby uncovering an entirely new mechanism of protein regulation in cells. Since then, Hunter has worked on all sorts of protein phos-phorylation events and the kinases that deliver them. Indeed, ...

Knowledge of the relationship between waterfowl hunters and harvest levels may better inform harvest management decisions. We examined frequency of different sizes of daily harvests among duck hunters, and hunters’ contributions to duck harvest in the Central Flyway from 1975–1984, 1988–1993, and 2002–2011 using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Parts Collection Survey. We stratified hunters...

The idea that hunter-gatherer societies experience more frequent famine than societies with other modes of subsistence is pervasive in the literature on human evolution. This idea underpins, for example, the 'thrifty genotype hypothesis'. This hypothesis proposes that our hunter-gatherer ancestors were adapted to frequent famines, and that these once adaptive 'thrifty genotypes' are now respons...
