How Bats Land Upside Down.
Meadows, Robin.
PLoS Biol ; 13(11): e1002298, 2015.
Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: mdl-26569408

ABSTRACT

A new study reveals that bats use the inertia of their unusually heavy wings-rather than their aerodynamic properties-to help them perform acrobatic maneuvers like landing upside down to roost. Read the Research Article.

Yeast survive by hedging their bets.
Meadows, Robin.
PLoS Biol ; 10(5): e1001327, 2012.
Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: mdl-22589702

ABSTRACT

A new experimental approach reveals a bet hedging strategy in unstressed, clonal yeast cells, whereby they adopt a range of growth states that correlate with expression of a trehalose-synthesis regulator and predict resistance to future stress.
