Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

22.0K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Threats to Biodiversity

27.6K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

The Proteasome

10.4K
Eukaryotic cells can degrade proteins through several pathways. One of the most important amongst these is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It helps the cell eliminate the misfolded, damaged, or unwarranted cytoplasmic proteins in a highly specific manner.
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

Regulated Protein Degradation02:58

Regulated Protein Degradation

9.1K
It is vital to regulate the activity of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic proteins inside the cell. This can be achieved either through creating a balance between their rate of synthesis and degradation or regulating the intrinsic activity of the protein. Both these regulation mechanisms play an essential role in the normal functioning of cells.
Protein degradation plays two important roles in the cells. It helps to protect cells from misfolded or damaged proteins before they lead to a...

Summary

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recognizes predatory journals but overlooks industry economics. Addressing structural issues and promoting Diamond Open Access are crucial for genuine reform in scholarly publishing.

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly publishing ethics
  • Medical journal standards

Background:

  • The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) is a key body influencing medical journal quality.
  • ICMJE has identified predatory journals as a threat to medical science reporting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the ICMJE's approach to combating predatory journals.
  • To highlight overlooked structural issues within the scholarly publishing industry.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of ICMJE's statements and initiatives.
  • Review of alternative publishing models and reform movements.

Main Results:

  • ICMJE's focus on predatory journals neglects the economic interests of traditional publishers.
  • Important systemic change initiatives (e.g., DORA, TOP) and alternative models (e.g., Diamond Open Access) are not addressed by ICMJE.
  • The ICMJE's approach risks appearing as industry cartelization.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive strategy against predatory publishing must address industry economics.
  • Promoting models like Diamond Open Access is essential for systemic reform.
  • Failure to address these issues may undermine efforts to improve scholarly communication.
