Cataglyphis ants have a polarity-sensitive magnetic compass.

Spatial orientation based on the geomagnetic field (GMF) is a widespread phenomenon in the animal kingdom, predominantly observed in long-distance migrating birds, sea turtles, lobsters, and Lepidoptera. Although magnetoreception has been studied intensively, the mechanism remains elusive. A crucial question for a mechanistic understanding of magnetoreception is whether animals rely on inclination or polarity-based magnetic information.

Avoiding overflow metabolite formation in Komagataella phaffii fermentations to enhance recombinant protein production.

Background: Komagataella phaffii (K. phaffii), formerly known as Pichia pastoris, is a widely utilized yeast for recombinant protein production. However, due to the formation of overflow metabolites, carbon yields may be reduced and product recovery becomes challenging.

Rental Housing Spot Markets: How Online Information Exchanges Can Supplement Transacted-Rents Data.

Traditional U.S. rental housing data sources such as the American Community Survey and the American Housing Survey report on the transacted market-what existing renters pay each month.

The Moderating Role of Stress Mindset on the Relationship between Drinking to Cope and Alcohol Consumption among Undergraduate College Student Drinkers.

Objective: Previous research suggests drinking alcohol to cope with negative affect, including stress, is a risk for increased alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems. Stress mindset, the individually held belief that stress can lead to either enhancing or debilitating outcomes, has yet to be studied within the context of alcohol use. Studying stress mindset among college students as it relates to alcohol consumption may provide important insight into heavy alcohol use in this population.

Tilted platforms: rental housing technology and the rise of urban big data oligopolies.

Abstract: This article interprets emerging scholarship on rental housing platforms-particularly the most well-known and used short- and long-term rental housing platforms-and considers how the technological processes connecting both short-term and long-term rentals to the platform economy are transforming cities. It discusses potential policy approaches to more equitably distribute benefits and mitigate harms. We argue that information technology is not value-neutral.
