Distinct combinations of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate thermosensation and hygrosensation in Drosophila

Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a large subfamily of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors present across Protostomia.While these receptors are most Maracas extensively studied for their roles in chemosensory detection, recent work has implicated two family members, IR21a and IR25a, in thermosensation in Drosophila.Here we characterize one of the m

Historical and contemporary climate legacy of the large-scale distributional patterns of plant richness across different taxonomic levels: An assessment of protected areas in China

Background: Historical and contemporary climates may shape the distributional patterns of plant species richness across different scales.However, few studies have focused on the effects of historical and contemporary climate changes on the distributional patterns of plant richness in Chinese protected areas across different taxonomic levels.Hypothe
