Whelan, Nathan V; Kocot, Kevin M; Santos, Scott R; Halanych, Kenneth M (2019-04-29)
Nemerteans are one of few animal groups that have evolved the ability to utilize toxins for both defense and subduing prey, but little is known about specific nemertean toxins. In particular, no study has identified specific ...

Net superoxide levels: steeper increase with activity in cooler female and hotter male lizards 

Ballen, Cissy J.; Healey, Mo; Wilson, Mark; Tobler, Michael; Wapstra, Erik; Olsson, Mats (2023-09-20)
Ectotherms increase their body temperature in response to ambient heat, thereby elevating their metabolic rate. An often inferred consequence of this is an overall upregulation of gene expression and energetic expenditure, ...

OH3- and O2H5- double Rydberg anions: Predictions and comparisons with NH4- and N2H7- 

Melin, Junia; Ortiz, J.V. (2021-01-26)
A low barrier in the reaction pathway between the double Rydberg isomer of OH3 − and a hydride-water complex indicates that the former species is more difficult to isolate and characterize through anion photoelectron ...
