  text: The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), caused by the
    Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has resulted in a
    world‐wide pandemic. Disseminated lung injury with the development of acute respiratory
    distress syndrome (ARDS) is the main cause of mortality in COVID‐19. Although
    liver failure does not seem to occur in the absence of pre‐existing liver disease,
    hepatic involvement in COVID‐19 may correlate with overall disease severity and
    serve as a prognostic factor for the development of ARDS. The spectrum of liver
    injury in COVID‐19 may range from direct infection by SARS‐CoV‐2, indirect involvement
    by systemic inflammation, hypoxic changes, iatrogenic causes such as drugs and
    ventilation to exacerbation of underlying liver disease. This concise review discusses
    the potential pathophysiological mechanisms for SARS‐CoV‐2 hepatic tropism as
    well as acute and possibly long‐term liver injury in COVID‐19.

  text: Sequence-specific oligomers with predictable folding patterns, i.e., foldamers,
    provide new opportunities to mimic α-helical peptides and design inhibitors of
    protein-protein interactions. One major hurdle of this strategy is to retain the
    correct orientation of key side chains involved in protein surface recognition.
    Here, we show that the structural plasticity of a foldamer backbone may notably
    contribute to the required spatial adjustment for optimal interaction with the
    protein surface. By using oligoureas as α helix mimics, we designed a foldamer/peptide
    hybrid inhibitor of histone chaperone ASF1, a key regulator of chromatin dynamics.
    The crystal structure of its complex with ASF1 reveals a notable plasticity of
    the urea backbone, which adapts to the ASF1 surface to maintain the same binding
    interface. One additional benefit of generating ASF1 ligands with nonpeptide oligourea
    segments is the resistance to proteolysis in human plasma, which was highly improved
    compared to the cognate α-helical peptide.

  text: "The main goal of the SCP-ECG standard is to address ECG data and related
    metadata structuring, semantics and syntax, with the objective of facilitating
    interoperability and thus supporting and promoting the exchange of the relevant
    information for unary and serial ECG diagnosis. Starting with version V3.0, the
    standard now also provides support for the storage of continuous, long-term ECG
    recordings and affords a repository for selected ECG sequences and the related
    metadata to accommodate stress tests, drug trials and protocol-based ECG recordings.
    The global and per-lead measurements sections have been extended and three new
    sections have been introduced for storing beat-by-beat and/or spike-by-spike measurements\r\nand
    annotations. The used terminology and the provided measurements and annotations
    have been harmonized with the ISO/IEEE 11073-10102 Annotated ECG standard. Emphasis
    has also been put on harmonizing the Universal Statement Codes with the CDISC
    and the categorized AHA statement codes and similarly the drug and implanted devices
    codes with the ATC and NASPE/BPEG codes. "

  text: Behavioural variation among conspecifics is typically contingent on individual
    state or environmental conditions. Sex-specific genetic polymorphisms are enigmatic
    because they lack conditionality, and genes causing adaptive trait variation in
    one sex may reduce Darwinian fitness in the other. One way to avoid such genetic
    antagonism is to control sex-specific traits by inheritance via sex chromosomes.
    Here, controlled laboratory crossings suggest that in snail-brooding cichlid fish
    a single locus, two-allele polymorphism located on a sex-linked chromosome of
    heterogametic males generates an extreme reproductive dimorphism. Both natural
    and sexual selection are responsible for exceptionally large body size of bourgeois
    males, creating a niche for a miniature male phenotype to evolve. This extreme
    intrasexual dimorphism results from selection on opposite size thresholds caused
    by a single ecological factor, empty snail shells used as breeding substrate.
    Paternity analyses reveal that in the field parasitic dwarf males sire the majority
    of offspring in direct sperm competition with large nest owners exceeding their
    size more than 40 times. Apparently, use of empty snail shells as breeding substrate
    and single locus sex-linked inheritance of growth are the major ecological and
    genetic mechanisms responsible for the extreme intrasexual diversity observed
    in Lamprologus callipterus.

  text: Invasive alien parasites and pathogens are a growing threat to biodiversity
    worldwide, which can contribute to the extinction of endemic species. On the Galápagos
    Islands, the invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi poses a major threat to the
    endemic avifauna. Here, we investigated the influence of this parasite on the
    breeding success of two Darwin's finch species, the warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea)
    and the sympatric small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus), on Santa Cruz Island
    in 2010 and 2012. While the population of the small tree finch appeared to be
    stable, the warbler finch has experienced a dramatic decline in population size
    on Santa Cruz Island since 1997. We aimed to identify whether warbler finches
    are particularly vulnerable during different stages of the breeding cycle. Contrary
    to our prediction, breeding success was lower in the small tree finch than in
    the warbler finch. In both species P. downsi had a strong negative impact on breeding
    success and our data suggest that heavy rain events also lowered the fledging
    success. On the one hand parents might be less efficient in compensating their
    chicks' energy loss due to parasitism as they might be less efficient in foraging
    on days of heavy rain. On the other hand, intense rainfalls might lead to increased
    humidity and more rapid cooling of the nests. In the case of the warbler finch
    we found that the control of invasive plant species with herbicides had a significant
    additive negative impact on the breeding success. It is very likely that the availability
    of insects (i.e. food abundance) is lower in such controlled areas, as herbicide
    usage led to the removal of the entire understory. Predation seems to be a minor
    factor in brood loss.
