Data from: Fine nurse variations explain discrepancies in the...
Despite a large consensus on increasing facilitation among plants with increasing stress in alpine regions, a number of different outcomes of interaction have been observed, which impedes the...

Ocean acidification (OA) is increasing due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and poses a threat to marine species and communities worldwide. To better project the effects of acidification on organisms’...
View ArticleData from: Crop-associated virus infection in a native perennial grass:...
To understand the eco-evolutionary significance of plant viruses in nature, we must (i) quantify the effects of infection on plant fitness and (ii) recognize that native plants are increasingly exposed...

We measured the long-term test–retest reliability of [11C]raclopride binding in striatal subregions, the thalamus and the cortex using the bolus-plus-infusion method and a high-resolution positron...
View ArticleData from: Protein structure determination using metagenome sequence data
Despite decades of work by structural biologists, there are still ~5200 protein families with unknown structure outside the range of comparative modeling. We show that Rosetta structure prediction...
View ArticleData from: Plant-soil feedback and the maintenance of diversity in...
Soil biota influence plant performance through plant-soil feedback, but it is unclear whether the strength of such feedback depends on plant traits and whether plant-soil feedback drives local plant...

Accelerometry is used as an objective measure of physical activity in humans and veterinary species. In cats, one important use of accelerometry is in the study of therapeutics designed to treat...
View ArticleData from: Rearing conditions have long-term sex-specific fitness...
Rearing conditions may exert profound effects on individual performance, however, effects manifested after independence and recruitment are seldom considered. Here, we examine the long-term fitness...
View ArticleData from: Resource availability determines the importance of niche-based vs....
Niche-based selection and stochastic processes can operate simultaneously to generate spatial and temporal variation in species composition. Yet, the conditions under which ecological dynamics are...
View ArticleData from: A comparative study of insect abundance and reproductive success...
Few studies have quantified the relative reproductive success of passerines in urban habitats. I studied food availability and reproductive success of barn swallows, Hirundo rustica, in two urban...

1. While environmental filters are well known factors influencing community assembly, the extent to which these modify species functions, and entire ecosystem processes is poorly understood. 2....
View ArticleData from: Anchored phylogenomics improves the resolution of evolutionary...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Estimating phylogenetic relationships in relatively recent evolutionary radiations is challenging, especially if short branches associated with recent divergence result in...
View ArticleData from: Anthropogenic ecosystem disturbance and the recovery debt
Ecosystem recovery from anthropogenic disturbances, either without human intervention or assisted by ecological restoration, is increasingly occurring worldwide. As ecosystems progress through...
View ArticleData from: Within-group relatedness is correlated with colony-level social...
In group-living species, the degree of relatedness among group members often governs the extent of reproductive sharing, cooperation and conflict within a group. Kinship among group members can be...

Objectives: To investigate practicing physicians preferences, perceived usefulness and understanding of a new multilayered guideline presentation format - compared to a standard format - as well as...

Background: Contaminations from various exogenous sources are a common problem in next-generation sequencing. Another possible source of contaminating DNA are endogenous parasites. On the one hand,...
View ArticleData from: Genomics of parallel experimental evolution in Drosophila
What are the genomic foundations of adaptation in sexual populations? We address this question using fitness-character and whole-genome sequence data from 30 Drosophila laboratory populations. These 30...

A disorder of sex development (DSD) in dogs with female sex chromosomes (78, XX), a lack of the SRY gene and the presence of testes or ovotestes is commonly diagnosed in numerous breeds. The molecular...

1. Microbe-based biocontrol applications hold the potential to become an efficient way to control plant pathogen disease outbreaks in the future. However, their efficiency is still very variable, which...
