Data from: Level of genetic differentiation affects relative performances of...
Microsatellites, also called simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are markers of choice to estimate relevant parameters for conservation genetics, such as migration rates, effective population size and...
View ArticleData from: ECOALIM: a dataset of environmental impacts of feed ingredients...
Feeds contribute highly to environmental impacts of livestock products. Therefore, formulating low-impact feeds requires data on environmental impacts of feed ingredients with consistent perimeters and...
View ArticleData from: Buchnera has changed flatmate but the repeated replacement of...
Symbiotic associations with bacteria have facilitated important evolutionary transitions in insects and resulted in long-term obligate interactions. Recent evidence suggests that these associations are...
View ArticleData from: Male risk-taking is related to number of mates in a polygynous bird.
Evolutionary theory predicts that when intrasexual competition is intense, risky behaviors can evolve if they enhance reproductive success. Here we tested the idea that polygynous males exhibit...
View ArticleData from: Population genomics reveals structure at the individual, host-tree...
Genetic diversity in experimental, domesticated and wild populations of the related yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. paradoxus has been well described at the global scale. We investigated the...
View ArticleData from: Epidemiological survey of the feasibility of broadband ultrasound...
Objectives: We investigated whether calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS-C) is a feasible tool for predicting the incidence of falls. Design: Prospective epidemiological cohort study. Setting:...
View ArticleData from: Acoustic communication in zebra finches signals when mates will...
Bi-parental care may involve both cooperation and conflict between parents. Parents adjust their workload to that of their partner and this ability is likely to affect reproductive success. Whether...
View ArticleData from: A unifying comparative phylogenetic framework including traits...
Models of phenotypic evolution fit to phylogenetic comparative data are widely used to make inferences regarding the tempo and mode of trait evolution. A wide range of models is already available for...
View ArticleData from: eDNA metabarcoding: a promising method for anuran surveys in...
Understanding the geographic distribution and community composition of species is crucial to monitor species persistence and define effective conservation strategies. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has...
View ArticleData from: How do cold-adapted plants respond to climatic cycles?...
Understanding the effects of past climatic fluctuations on the distribution and population-size dynamics of cold-adapted species is essential for predicting their responses to ongoing global climate...
View ArticleData from: Fruit size determines the role of three scatter-hoarding rodents...
Scatter-hoarding rodents can act as both predators and dispersers for many large-seeded plants because they cache seeds for future use, but occasionally forget them in sites with high survival and...
View ArticleData from: Molecular characterization of resistance to soybean rust...
Resistance to soybean rust (SBR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & Syd., has been identified in many soybean germplasm accessions and is conferred by either dominant or recessive genes that...
View ArticleData from: Nonlinear dynamics forecasting of obstructive sleep apnea onsets
Recent advances in sensor technologies and predictive analytics are fueling the growth in point-of-care (POC) therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep disorders. The effectiveness of...
View ArticleData from: Retinal capillary rarefaction in patients with type 2 diabetes...
Purpose: In diabetes mellitus type 2, capillary rarefaction plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of end-organ damage. We investigated retinal capillary density in patients with early disease....
View ArticleData from: How do growth and sibling competition affect telomere dynamics in...
Telomeres are nucleotide sequences located at the ends of chromosomes that promote genome stability. Changes in telomere length (dynamics) are related to fitness or life expectancy, and telomere...
View ArticleData from: Spatio-temporal modelling of auk abundance after the Erika oil...
Species distribution models are widely used in applied ecology and conservation. While accounting for spatial dependences is now the rule, temporal dependences have rarely been dealt with explicitly....
View ArticleData from: Ranging behaviour of badgers Meles meles vaccinated with Bacillus...
Because biological systems are complex, management interventions occasionally have unintended adverse consequences. For example, attempts to control bovine tuberculosis (TB) by culling badgers Meles...
View ArticleData from: The missing link in grassland restoration: arbuscular mycorrhizal...
Because soil microbial communities are often altered by anthropogenic disturbance, successful plant community restoration may require the restoration of beneficial soil microbes, such as arbuscular...
View ArticleData from: Three molecular markers show no evidence of population genetic...
Assessment of genetic diversity and connectivity between regions can inform conservation managers about risk of inbreeding, potential for adaptation and where population boundaries lie. The Gouldian...
View ArticleData from: Density-dependent vulnerability of forest ecosystems to drought
Climate models predict increasing drought intensity and frequency for many regions, which may have negative consequences for tree recruitment, growth, and mortality, as well as forest ecosystem...
