    • Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement 

      Finn, Roderick Nigel; Chauvigné, Francois; Stavang, Jon Anders; Belles, Xavier; Cerdà, Joan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-12)
      Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess polyol permeable ...
    • Lysates of Methylococcus capsulatus Bath induce a lean-like microbiota, intestinal FoxP3+RORγt+IL-17+ Tregs and improve metabolism

      Evidence is mounting that the gut-brain axis plays an important role in mental diseases fueling mechanistic investigations to provide a basis for future targeted interventions. However, shotgun metagenomic data from ...
    • Modelled drift patterns of fish larvae link coastal morphology to seabird colony distribution 

      Sandvik, Hanno; Barrett, Robert T; Erikstad, Kjell E; Myksvoll, Mari Skuggedal; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Reiertsen, Tone; Skardhamar, Jofrid; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Systad, Geir Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-13)
      Colonial breeding is an evolutionary puzzle, as the benefits of breeding in high densities are still not fully explained. Although the dynamics of existing colonies are increasingly understood, few studies have addressed ...
