The radiation-damage-free structure of the photosystem II membrane protein complex, which oxidizes water into dioxygen in an oxygen evolving complex, has been determined by an X-ray free electron laser at a resolution of 1.95 Å; one of the substrate oxygen atoms in this reaction is now iden...
(DSB), by eliminating deleterious mutations, and by repair of epigenetic damage; 3) Meiosis is a phylogenetically conserved feature which cannot be eliminated because of the ancestral fixation of meiosis-mixis-cycles. None of these theories provide an all-inclusive answer for the paradox of sex ...
Researchers are finding that pests,such as aphids,are starting to hatch(孵化) earlier in the year.In the last 10 -15 years they’ve been arriving in springtime and the population of aphids appears to be growing too. Aphids are a real problem as they can cause so much damage to ...

One of my all time faves are Fulgorid Planthoppers (family Fulgoridae). They are an odd group of insects that have big butterfly-like wings, but are actually more closely related to cicadas, leafhoppers, and aphids. I thought this specimen from Ecuador had the most beautifully patterned win...
The damage caused to the host due to infection by a parasite, often measured as a reduction in host fitness. Defensive symbiosis An interaction in which the symbiont protects the host (via direct or indirect mechanisms) against natural enemies, such as microbial parasites and eukaryotic parasitoids...
3f). Flexirubin is known as a yellow pigment that effectively protects against reactive oxygen species damage80 and thus helps C2 in its symbiosis with the plant, whereas polyene chains in chromophore groups are synthesized from acetates in a manner similar to fatty acid biosynthesis81. Therefore...
of beetles, aphids and spiders. They also like flower nectar and fruit, and can sometimes damage fruit crops. During spring and fall migration, our neighbors, Ed and Melinda, keep a fresh dish of grape jelly on their deck railing for the orioles. My father-in-law always suspended fresh ...
