Looking beyond Popper: how philosophy can be relevant to ecology (2024)
Journal Article
Heger, T., Elliot‐Graves, A., Kaiser, M. I., Morrow, K. H., Bausman, W., Dietl, G. P., Dormann, C. F., Gibson, D. J., Griesemer, J., Itescu, Y., Jax, K., Latimer, A. M., Liu, C., Starrfelt, J., Stephens, P. A., & Jeschke, J. M. (online). Looking beyond Popper: how philosophy can be relevant to ecology. Oikos, Article e10994. https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.10994

Current workflows in academic ecology rarely allow an engagement of ecologists with philosophers, or with contemporary philosophical work. We argue that this is a missed opportunity for enriching ecological reasoning and practice, because many questi... Read More about Looking beyond Popper: how philosophy can be relevant to ecology.

Intraspecific phenotypic differentiation by habitat depth in deep demersal fish species (2024)
Journal Article
Steeds, N., Zulqurnain, Z., Regnier, T., Gibb, F., Stirling, D., & Hoelzel, A. R. (2024). Intraspecific phenotypic differentiation by habitat depth in deep demersal fish species. Frontiers in Marine Science, 11, Article 1437952. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2024.1437952

Introduction: Ocean habitat characteristics change with depth. This is due to physical properties such as light, temperature and hydrostatic pressure, but also species community. In some cases, this generates a boundary (e.g. when light is lost in th... Read More about Intraspecific phenotypic differentiation by habitat depth in deep demersal fish species.

Structural basis of chiral wrap and T-segment capture by Escherichia coli DNA gyrase (2024)
Journal Article
Michalczyk, E., Pakosz-Stępień, Z., Liston, J. D., Gittins, O., Pabis, M., Heddle, J. G., & Ghilarov, D. (2024). Structural basis of chiral wrap and T-segment capture by Escherichia coli DNA gyrase. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 121(49), Article e2407398121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2407398121

Type II topoisomerase DNA gyrase transduces the energy of ATP hydrolysis into the negative supercoiling of DNA. The postulated catalytic mechanism involves stabilization of a chiral DNA loop followed by the passage of the T-segment through the tempor...

Listening to/in the Field: Polyphony in the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes Project (2024)
Journal Article
Steinberg, P., Baxter, R., Egan, E., Kramvig, B., Lehman, J., Winderen, J., Winterling, S., & Kramvig, B. (in press). Listening to/in the Field: Polyphony in the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes Project. Geohumanities,

This article reflects on the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes project, a transdisciplinary venture of seven natural scientists, social scientists, and artists that sought to explore how a focus on sound could spur development of a new research sensibilit...

Developmental evolution in fast-forward: insect male genital diversification. (2024)
Journal Article
Nunes, M. D. S., & McGregor, A. P. (online). Developmental evolution in fast-forward: insect male genital diversification. Trends in Genetics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tig.2024.10.005

Insect male genitalia are among the fastest evolving structures of animals. Studying these changes among closely related species represents a powerful approach to dissect developmental processes and genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversific...

Evolutionary biology: Co-option and the evolution of morphological novelty. (2024)
Journal Article
Ridgway, A. M., & McGregor, A. P. (2024). Evolutionary biology: Co-option and the evolution of morphological novelty. Current Biology, 34(22), R1144-R1146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.10.031

The molecular mechanisms underlying evolution of morphological novelties are not well understood, although co-option is often inferred. A new study demonstrates that the partial co-option of the trichome gene regulatory network underlies the evolutio...

Functional characterization reveals the importance of Arabidopsis ECA4 and EPSIN3 in clathrin mediated endocytosis and wall structure in apical growing cells. (2024)
Journal Article
Teixeira, R. T., Marchese, D., Duckney, P. J., Dias, F. V., Carapeto, A. P., Louro, M., Silva, M. S., Cordeiro, C., Rodrigues, M. S., & Malhó, R. (online). Functional characterization reveals the importance of Arabidopsis ECA4 and EPSIN3 in clathrin mediated endocytosis and wall structure in apical growing cells. New Phytologist, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.20282

Localized clathrin mediated endocytosis is vital for secretion and wall deposition in apical growing plant cells. Adaptor and signalling proteins, along with phosphoinositides, are known to play a regulatory, yet poorly defined role in this process....
