TRAF6-mediated ubiquitination of NEMO requires p62/sequestosome-1
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The atypical protein kinase C-interacting protein p62/sequestosome-1 (p62) has emerged as a crucial molecule in a variety of cellular functions due to its involvement in various signaling mechanisms. p62 has been implicated ...
Revealing the maternal demographic history of Panthera leo using ancient DNA and a spatially explicit genealogical analysis
(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Background: Understanding the demographic history of a population is critical to conservation and to our broader understanding of evolutionary processes. For many tropical large mammals, however, this aim is confounded by ...
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
Nox2 activity is required in obesity-mediated alteration of bone remodeling
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for NADPH oxidases (Nox) in bone pathophysiology, whether Nox enzymes contribute to obesity-mediated bone remodeling remains to be clearly elucidated. Nox2 is one of the ...
Dynamics (seasonal and intra-diurnal) of air-borne fungal spore population of Doha area, Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The availability and dynamics of airborne fungal spores in the atmosphere are strongly influenced by the meteorological parameters and by other factors such as air pollutants. The aim of this study was to update the knowledge ...
Investigation of Spatiotemporal Variability of Microplastics in Qatar's Cstal Environment
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
There has been a tremendous proliferation in plastic production in the last five decades due to its low cost and versatile applications. Plastic debris dominates the marine litter globally and has been found in the most ...
Traditional plant functional groups explain variation in economic but not size-related traits across the tundra biome
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Aim: Plant functional groups are widely used in community ecology and earth system modelling to describe trait variation within and across plant communities. However, this approach rests on the assumption that functional ...
Comparing connection to theory in Bachelor's theses: Old research university versus new regional university college
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Article)
Quality of higher education is often assumed to be linked to the size of the faculty. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis whether Bachelor's theses in ecology at a large, old research university would have more ...
Winter thermoregulation of free-ranging Ethiopian hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimise heat gain during hotter months, and put less effort on how they maximise heat gain during cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to ...
Coral bleaching in extreme environments: speciesspecific thermal tolerance limits
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Increasing seawater temperatures are being measured worldwide, causing coral bleaching events during which the symbiosis between the coral host and its symbiotic zooxanthellae is disrupted, and a global decline in reef ...
