Shedding light on photoperiodism.
I n mammals, photoreception is restricted to the eye. By contrast, nonmammalian vertebrates possess photoreceptors in a wide array of extraocular tissues, including the pineal complex and brain (1). The identity of the deep brain photoreceptors has remained elusive. They continue to be the least studied of all nonvisual photoreceptor classes, although their existence in the vertebrates has been...
متن کاملSustainability. Planetary boundaries: guiding human development on a changing planet.
The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the Earth system. Here, we revise and update the planetary boundary framework, with a focus on the underpinning biophysical science, based on targeted input from expert research communities and on more general scientific advances over the pas...
متن کاملPlanetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet
INTRODUCTION: There is an urgent need for a new paradigm that integrates the continued development of human societies and the maintenance of the Earth system (ES) in a resilient andaccommodating state. Theplanetaryboundary (PB) framework contributes to such a paradigm by providing a science-based analysis of the risk that human perturbations will destabilize the ES at the planetary scale. Here,...
متن کاملSeasonal accumulation of acetylated triacylglycerols by a freeze-tolerant insect.
Most animals store energy as long-chain triacylglycerols (lcTAGs). Trace amounts of acetylated triacylglycerols (acTAGs) have been reported in animals, but are not accumulated, likely because they have lower energy density than lcTAGs. Here we report that acTAGs comprise 36% of the neutral lipid pool of overwintering prepupae of the goldenrod gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis, while only 17% of the...
متن کاملPhotoperiodism in Pigs
Andersson, H. 2000. Photoperiodism in pigs. Studies on timing of male puberty and melatonin. Doctoral thesis ISSN 1401-6257, ISBN 91-576-5901-X. The routine castration of male piglets, which is performed in many countries to avoid boar taint in meat, is a cause for great concern in terms of animal welfare. Castrates also have reduced feed efficiency and more fat than do entire males. More of th...
