A complex small RNA repertoire is generated by a plant/fungal-like machinery and effected by a metazoan-like Argonaute in the single-cell human parasite Toxoplasma gondii. by Laurence Braun, Dominique Cannella, Philippe Ortet, Mohamed Barakat, Céline F Sautel, Sylvie Kieffer, Jérôme Garin, Olivier Bastien, Olivier Voinnet, Mohamed-Ali Hakimi

“…Remarkably, the small RNA-generating machinery of Toxoplasma is phylogenetically and functionally related to that of plants and fungi, and accounts for an exceptionally diverse array of small RNAs. This array includes conspicuous populations of repeat-associated small interfering RNA (siRNA), which, as in plants, likely generate and maintain heterochromatin at DNA repeats and satellites. …”

The Greater the Tilt, the Taller the Nest? The Effect of Solar Array Type on Bird Nest Architecture and Nest Microclimate by Brendan Enochs, Adrianna Burghardt, Amy Friemoth, Chelse Prather

“…We found American robin (Turdus migratorius), House finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), and House sparrow (Passer domesticus) nests across two sites: a tracking array and a fixed array. Results showed that robin nests in the tracking array exhibited significant architectural adaptations, including taller nests and greater variability in attachment angles, likely to enhance stability as panels moved throughout the day. …”
