Southern Hemisphere temperate tree lines are not climatically depressed (2014)
Journal Article
Cieraad, E., McGlone, M., & Huntley, B. (2014). Southern Hemisphere temperate tree lines are not climatically depressed. Journal of Biogeography, 41(8), 1456-1466. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.12308

Aim Southern temperate tree lines are found at low elevations compared with their Northern Hemisphere counterparts. They are also regarded as forming at warm temperatures, which has been attributed to taxon-specific limitations. Using New Zealand tre...

Habitat discrimination by gravid Anopheles gambiae sensu lato – a push-pull system (2014)
Journal Article
Herrera-Varela, M., Lindh, J., Lindsay, S., & Fillinger, U. (2014). Habitat discrimination by gravid Anopheles gambiae sensu lato – a push-pull system. Malaria Journal, 13, Article 133. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-13-133

Background: The non-random distribution of anopheline larvae in natural habitats suggests that gravid females discriminate between habitats of different quality. Whilst physical and chemical cues used by Culex and Aedes vector mosquitoes for selectin... Read More about Habitat discrimination by gravid Anopheles gambiae sensu lato – a push-pull system.

Visualizing and Manipulating Temporal Signaling Dynamics with Fluorescence-Based Tools (2014)
Journal Article
Doupé, D., & Perrimon, N. (2014). Visualizing and Manipulating Temporal Signaling Dynamics with Fluorescence-Based Tools. Science Signaling, 7(319), https://doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.2005077

The use of genome-wide proteomic and RNA interference approaches has moved our understanding of signal transduction from linear pathways to highly integrated networks centered on core nodes. However, probing the dynamics of flow of information throug... Read More about Visualizing and Manipulating Temporal Signaling Dynamics with Fluorescence-Based Tools.

A recombinant fusion protein containing a spider toxin specific for the insect voltage-gated sodium ion channel shows oral toxicity towards insects of different orders (2014)
Journal Article

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a serious congenital cardiovascular malformation resulting in hypoplasia or atresia of the left ventricle, ascending aorta, and aortic and mitral valves. Diminished flow through the left side of the heart is...
