Hexavalent chromium is cytotoxic and genotoxic to American alligator cells
AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY, 171, 30–36.
author keywords: American alligator; Chromium; Genotoxicity; Cytotoxicity; Aquatic model; Hexavalent chromium
MeSH headings : Alligators and Crocodiles / genetics; Alligators and Crocodiles / physiology; Animals; Cell Line; Cell Survival / drug effects; Cells, Cultured; Chromium / toxicity; Chromosome Aberrations / chemically induced; Climate Change; DNA Damage / drug effects; Skin / drug effects; United States; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity

Comparative sodium transport patterns provide clues for understanding salinity and metal responses in aquatic insects
AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY, 171, 20–29.
author keywords: Aquatic insects; Osmoregulation; Metals; Physiology; Sodium
MeSH headings : Animals; Aquatic Organisms / drug effects; Aquatic Organisms / metabolism; Copper / toxicity; Fresh Water / chemistry; Insecta / drug effects; Insecta / metabolism; Ion Transport / drug effects; Metals / toxicity; Salinity; Silver / toxicity; Sodium / metabolism; Toxicity Tests; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity

Using the unique chemical and histological fingerprint of MB in birds to characterize, at the molecular level, MB in the non-avian theropod Tyrannosaurus rex and show that the retention of original molecular components in fossils allows deeper physiological and evolutionary questions to be addressed.

The furculae of the dromaeosaurid dinosaur Dakotaraptor steini are trionychid turtle entoplastra
PeerJ, 4, e1691.
author keywords: Trionychidae; Dromaeosauridae; Theropoda; Testudines; Axestemys; Cretaceous; Maastrichtian; Hell Creek Formation; South Dakota
TL;DR:
It is shown that the elements described as D. steini ‘furculae’ are not theropod dinosaur furculae, but are rather trionychid turtle entoplastra referable to cf.

PLANT JOURNAL, 85(4), 494–506.
author keywords: Ca2+ signaling; CLAVATA signaling peptide; CLAVATA receptor; cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels; cGMP; Arabidopsis thaliana
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / cytology; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / physiology; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Calcium Signaling; Cell Differentiation; Cytosol / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genes, Reporter; Meristem / cytology; Meristem / genetics; Meristem / physiology; Plant Shoots / cytology; Plant Shoots / genetics; Plant Shoots / physiology; Plant Stems / cytology; Plant Stems / genetics; Plant Stems / physiology; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Protein Binding; Protein Serine-Threonine Kinases / genetics; Protein Serine-Threonine Kinases / metabolism; Seedlings / cytology; Seedlings / genetics; Seedlings / physiology; Stem Cells / physiology

The results suggest that the CLV3 ligand/CLV1 receptor system initiates a signaling cascade that elevates cytosolic Ca(2+), and that this cytOSolic secondary messenger is involved in the signal transduction cascade linking CLV 3/ CLV1 to control of gene expression and stem cell fate in the SAM.

Saving freshwater from salts
Canedo-Argueelles, M., Hawkins, C. P., Kefford, B. J., Schaefer, R. B., Dyack, B. J., Brucet, S., … Timpano, A. J. (2016, February 26). SCIENCE, Vol. 351, pp. 914–916.
MeSH headings : Australia; Biodiversity; Fresh Water / analysis; Human Activities; Humans; Ions / analysis; Ions / standards; Salinity; Salts / analysis; Salts / standards; Water Pollution, Chemical / analysis; Water Purification / methods

author keywords: adaptive cluster sampling; informative sampling; probit regression; rare species; spatial regression; Tamarix ramosissima
TL;DR:
This work integrates adaptive cluster sampling and spatial occupancy modelling by developing two models to handle the dependence induced by cluster sampling, and believes this approach is unique and potentially useful for a variety of studies directed at patchily distributed, clustered or rare species exhibiting spatial variation.
