Are Tits Really Unsuitable Hosts for the Common Cuckoo?
Ornis Fennica 91:0000. 2014 Are tits really unsuitable hosts for the Common Cuckoo? Tomá Grim*, Peter Sama, Petr Procházka & Jarkko Rutila T. Grim & P. Sama, Department of Zoology and Laboratory of Ornithology, Palacký University, 17. listopadu 50, CZ-77146 Olomouc, Czech Republic. * Corresponding au- thors e-mail: [email protected] P. Procházka, Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Repub- lic, v. v. i., Kvìtná 8, CZ-60365 Brno, Czech Republic J. Rutila, Kannelkatu 5 as 26, 53100 Lappeenranta, Finland Received 19 January 2014, accepted 18 March 2014 Avian brood parasites exploit hosts that have accessible nests and a soft insect diet. Com- mon Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) hosts were traditionally classified as suitable if both pa- rameters were fulfilled or unsuitable if one, or both, were not. In line with this view, hole- nesting tits (Paridae) have become a text-book example of unsuitable Cuckoo hosts. Our extensive literature search for Cuckoo eggs hatched and chicks raised by hosts revealed 16 Cuckoo nestlings in Great Tit (Parus major) nests, 2 nestlings and 2 fledglings in Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), and 1 nestling in a Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus)nest. Our own data from natural observations and cross-fostering experiments concur with lit- erature data that Great Tits are able to rear Cuckoo chicks to fledging. The natural obser- vations involve the first known cases where a bird species became parasitized as a by- product of nest usurpation (take-over). Surprisingly, Cuckoo chicks raised by Great Tits grew better than Cuckoo chicks raised by common hosts, even alongside host own chicks. -
Crown Rust Fungi with Short Lifecycles – the Puccinia Mesnieriana Species Complex

(2019) Crown rust fungi with short lifecy- cles – the Puccinia mesnieriana species complex. – Sydowia 71: 47–63. The short lifecycle rust species Puccinia mesnieriana produces telia and teliospores on buckthorns (Rhamnus spp.) that are similar to those produced by the crown rust fungi (Puccinia series Coronata) on oats and grasses. The morphological similarity of these fungi led to hypotheses of their close relationship as correlated species. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS2 and partial 28S nrDNA regions and the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) revealed that P. mesnieriana was a species complex comprising four lineages within P. ser. Coronata. Each lineage was recognized as a distinct species with differentiating morphological char- acteristics, host associations and geographic distribution. Puccinia mesnieriana was restricted to a single specimen from Portu- gal that was morphologically similar to and shared the same provenance as the type specimen of the species, which was not se- quenced. -

A Physicochemical Perspective of Aging from Single-Cell Analysis Of
TOOLS AND RESOURCES A physicochemical perspective of aging from single-cell analysis of pH, macromolecular and organellar crowding in yeast Sara N Mouton1, David J Thaller2, Matthew M Crane3, Irina L Rempel1, Owen T Terpstra1, Anton Steen1, Matt Kaeberlein3, C Patrick Lusk2, Arnold J Boersma4*, Liesbeth M Veenhoff1* 1European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands; 2Department of Cell Biology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, United States; 3Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, United States; 4DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials, Aachen, Germany Abstract Cellular aging is a multifactorial process that is characterized by a decline in homeostatic capacity, best described at the molecular level. Physicochemical properties such as pH and macromolecular crowding are essential to all molecular processes in cells and require maintenance. Whether a drift in physicochemical properties contributes to the overall decline of homeostasis in aging is not known. Here, we show that the cytosol of yeast cells acidifies modestly in early aging and sharply after senescence. Using a macromolecular crowding sensor optimized for long-term FRET measurements, we show that crowding is rather stable and that the stability of crowding is a stronger predictor for lifespan than the absolute crowding levels. Additionally, in aged cells, we observe drastic changes in organellar volume, leading to crowding on the *For correspondence: micrometer scale, which we term organellar crowding. Our measurements provide an initial [email protected] framework of physicochemical parameters of replicatively aged yeast cells.
