Habitat loss rather than fragmentation per se can weaken the positive BEF relationship by reducing the percentage of grassland specialists in the community.

Genetic diversity is strongly associated with ecosystem functions across natural trophic chains, showing that it can be as important as species diversity.

Tree diversity and canopy cover shape host-parasitoid communities and network structure through phylogenetic links in a species-rich forest ecosystems.

Species and genetic diversity promote tree community productivity by increasing functional diversity and reducing herbivore damage and soil fungal diversity.

The tubulin GTPase cycle structurally modulates the microtubule cap, causing lattice expansion, which is an intermediate state involved in phosphate release and regulatory signaling.

The consequences of real-world biodiversity change for ecosystem functioning depend on the type of global change driver and can be particularly significant when human activities decrease biodiversity.

A biochemical approach unveils the overall shape of a subclass of heavy-metal transporting pumps, thereby shedding light on principle molecular determinants linked to the transport mechanism of these elusive machines, information that is critical well beyond basic science.

Annual crop communities are able to adapt towards reduced competition and/or increased facilitation in response to their neighboring diversity after only two generations.

Auto-inhibition of ISWI-family ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers is relieved by a conserved feature of the nucleosome.

The structural and functional analysis of the ATP-dependent RNA helicase Prp43 provides insights into the mechanisms of RNA binding and translocation, which could serve as paradigm for all DEAH-box proteins.
