Integrative and Comparative Biology
Synopsis Flies of the genus Arachnocampa are sit-and-lure predators that use bioluminescence to attract flying prey to their silk webs. Some species are most common in rainforest habitat and others inhabit both caves and rainforest. We have studied the circadian regulation of bioluminescence in two species: one found in subtropical rainforest with no known cave populations and the other found i...
متن کاملPlacental Tissues- From Reproductive to Regenerative Biology
The past decade has witnessed breakthrough advancements in the field of Regenerative medicine. With advancements in the knowledge and fabrication of tissue engineered constructs, complete regeneration of soft and hard tissues remains a farfetched goal. Stem cell therapy has emerged as one of the predictable; powerful tool to generate biological substitutes and regenerate damaged tissue with hig...
متن کاملThe Biology of Lipids : Integrative and Comparative Perspectives
A unifying feature of lipids is relatively low solubility in aqueous media, yet lipids embody an immensely disparate set of molecules. It can be argued that lipids represent some of the most complex biological molecules. Classes of lipids include hydrocarbons, alcohols, fatty acids, waxes, glycerides, phospholipids, and glycolipids. There are also variations on a theme within a single lipid cla...
متن کاملAt the forefront of comparative physiology and integrative biology.
This issue brings to an end another busy but successful year at The Journal of Experimental Biology. Much has happened during this time, both within the pages of the journal and in the Editorial Office. The journal's impact factor, after teetering for many years at just under 3.0, finally broke this magic barrier, and we were awarded a two-year impact factor of 3.040 for 2010; our five-year imp...
متن کاملEnvironmental xenobiotics and male reproductive health
toxicants.3 Following the Seveso disaster in northern Italy in 1976, a remarkable increase in the proportion of girls was reported among offspring of heavily dioxin exposed men.4 Thus, the overarching question is not whether environmental chemicals may represent a hazard to male reproductive health, but how important this hazard at exposure levels found in the general population is in compariso...
