HIBERNATION CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL RESISTANCE TO CADMIUM BETWEEN URBAN AND FOREST ANT COLONIES

Hibernation Conditions Contribute to the Differential Resistance to Cadmium between Urban and Forest Ant Colonies

Trace metals such as cadmium are found in high concentrations in urban environments.Animal and plant populations living in heavily contaminated environments could adapt to trace metals exposure.A recent study shows that urban populations of the acorn ant Arm Slings Temnothorax nylanderi are more resistant to cadmium than their forest counterparts.H

SUMO proteins in the cardiovascular system: friend or foe?

Abstract Post-translational modifications Deodorant (PTMs) are crucial for the adaptation of various signalling pathways to ensure cellular homeostasis and proper adaptation to stress.PTM is a covalent addition of a small chemical functional group such as a phosphate group (phosphorylation), methyl group (methylation), or acetyl group (acetylation)
