The Ca2+/calmodulin/CaMKK2 axis: nature's metabolic CaMshaft

KL Marcelo, AR Means, B York - Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2016 - cell.com
Calcium (Ca 2+) is an essential ligand that binds its primary intracellular receptor calmodulin
(CaM) to trigger a variety of downstream processes and pathways. Central to the actions of …

Coupling movement and landscape ecology for animal conservation in production landscapes

TS Doherty, DA Driscoll - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org

Spatial memory predicts home range size and predation risk in pheasants

RJP Heathcote, MA Whiteside… - Nature Ecology & …, 2023 - nature.com
Most animals confine their activities to a discrete home range, long assumed to reflect the
fitness benefits of obtaining spatial knowledge about the landscape. However, few empirical …

Memory, not just perception, plays an important role in terrestrial mammalian migration

C Bracis, T Mueller - Proceedings of the Royal Society B …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
One of the key questions regarding the underlying mechanisms of mammalian land
