Lipid rafts are plasma membrane microdomains enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol. These domains have been suggested to serve as platforms for various cellular events, such as signaling and membrane trafficking. However, little is known about the distribution and dynamics of lipids in these microdomains. Here we report investigations carried out using recently developed probes for the lipi...

Soil macrofauna is an important component of soil biodiversity and plays a key role in ecosystem function. Little work, however, has explored how may contribute, directly or indirectly, to microfauna communities. In this study, we the impact two classes common macrofauna, earthworms (Eisenia foetida) millipedes (Spirobolus walkeri), on nematode community diversity structure. We found that play ...
