Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1111/brv.13049. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolism includes anabolism and catabolism, which play an essential role in many biological processes. Chromatin modifications are post-translational modifications of histones and nucleic acids that play important roles in regulating chromatin-associated processes such as gene transcription. There is a tight connection between metabolism and chromatin modifications. Many metabolic enzymes and metabolites coordinate cellular activities with alterations in nutrient availability by regulating gene expression through epigenetic mechan...

Antipredator defences in motion: animals reduce predation risks by concealing or misleading motion signals
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1111/brv.13044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMotion is a crucial part of the natural world, yet our understanding of how animals avoid predation whilst moving remains rather limited. Although several theories have been proposed for how antipredator defence may be facilitated during motion, there is often a lack of supporting empirical evidence, or conflicting findings. Furthermore, many studies have shown that motion often 'breaks' camouflage, as sudden movement can be detected even before an individual is recognised. Whilst some static camouflage strategies may conceal moving...

Unveiling the resistance of native weed communities: insights for managing invasive weed species in disturbed environments
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1111/brv.13043. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWeed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result in higher pollution. Understanding the dynamics existing between native weed communities and invasive species in disturbed environments is crucial for effective management and normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising the potential resistance of native weed communities to invasion in disturbed environments can help identify suitable native plants for restoration operations. This review aims to inv...

Continuous tooth replacement: what can teleost fish teach us?
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.1111/brv.13045. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost tooth-bearing non-mammalian vertebrates have the capacity to replace their teeth throughout life. This capacity was lost in mammals, which replace their teeth only once at most. Not surprisingly, continuous tooth replacement has attracted much attention. Classical morphological studies (e.g. to analyse patterns of replacement) are now being complemented by molecular studies that investigate the expression of genes involved in tooth formation. This review focuses on ray-finned fish (actinopterygians), which have teeth often dis...

Scavenging with invasive species
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Dec 26. doi: 10.1111/brv.13035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarrion acts as a hotspot of animal activity within many ecosystems globally, attracting scavengers that rely on this food source. However, many scavengers are invasive species whose impacts on scavenging food webs and ecosystem processes linked to decomposition are poorly understood. Here, we use Australia as a case study to review the extent of scavenging by invasive species that have colonised the continent since European settlement, identify the factors that influence their use of carcasses, and highlight the lesser-known ecolo...

Neutrophil microRNAs
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Dec 26. doi: 10.1111/brv.13048. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeutrophils are considered 'first-line defence' cells as they can be rapidly recruited to the site of the immune response. As key components of non-specific immune mechanisms, neutrophils use phagocytosis, degranulation, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to fight pathogens. Recently, immunoregulatory abilities of neutrophils associated with the secretion of several mediators, including cytokines and extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing, among other components, microRNAs (miRNAs), have also been reported. EVs...

Pollinator-mediated effects of landscape-scale land use on grassland plant community composition and ecosystem functioning - seven hypotheses
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Dec 20. doi: 10.1111/brv.13040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental change is disrupting mutualisms between organisms worldwide. Reported declines in insect populations and changes in pollinator community compositions in response to land use and other environmental drivers have put the spotlight on the need to conserve pollinators. While this is often motivated by their role in supporting crop yields, the role of pollinators for reproduction and resulting taxonomic and functional assembly in wild plant communities has received less attention. Recent findings suggest that observed and ...
