Data from: Adaptive divergence in wine yeasts and their wild relatives...
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the main yeast in wine fermentation, the opportunity to examine divergence at the molecular level between a domesticated lineage and its wild counterpart arose recently due...
View ArticleData from: Early life nutritional quality effects on adult memory retention...
Nutritional quality during early life can affect learning ability and memory retention of animals. Here we studied the effect of resource quality gained during larval development on the learning...
View ArticleData from: The best of both worlds: a combined approach for analyzing...
An increasing number of studies use next generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze complex communities, but is the method sensitive enough when it comes to identification and quantification of species? We...
View ArticleData from: Cuticular hydrocarbon cues of immune-challenged workers elicit...
Recently, evidence has shown that variations in the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) profile allow healthy honeybees to identify diseased nestmates, eliciting agonistic responses in the former. Here, we...
View ArticleData from: Loggerhead sea turtle embryos (Caretta caretta) regulate...
Oviparous reptile embryos are expected to breach their critical thermal maxima if temperatures reach those predicted under current climate change models due to the lack the maternal buffering processes...
View ArticleData from: The signal in noise: acoustic information for soundscape...
Diverse animals use environmental sounds to orient in ecological soundscapes. Yet, we know little about how acoustic information use drives behavioral decisions to orient. While the sound generated by...
View ArticleData from: Natural and anthropogenic sounds reduce song performance: insights...
Anthropogenic sounds influence animal vocal behavior, species distributions, and community assemblages. Natural sounds also have the potential to affect the behavior and ecology of animals, but it is...
View ArticleData from: Spending limited resources on de-extinction could lead to net...
There is contentious debate surrounding the merits of de-extinction as a biodiversity conservation tool. Here, we use extant analogues to predict conservation actions for potential de-extinction...
View ArticleData from: Diminishing-returns epistasis decreases adaptability along an...
Populations evolving in constant environments exhibit declining adaptability. Understanding the basis of this pattern could reveal underlying processes determining the repeatability of evolutionary...
View ArticleData from: Importance of whole-plant biomass allocation and reproductive...
Background and Aims: Trait-based plant ecology attempts to use small numbers of functional traits to predict plant ecological strategies. However, a major gap exists between our understanding of...
View ArticleData from: Interaction intensity and pollinator-mediated selection
In animal-pollinated plants, the opportunity for selection and the strength of pollinator-mediated selection are expected to increase with the degree of pollen limitation. However, whether differences...
View ArticleData from: Zinc, a potent, novel and specific inhibitor of IFNL3 signalling
Lambda interferons (IFNL) are pro-inflammatory cytokines important in acute and chronic viral infection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms rs12979860 and rs8099917 within the IFNL gene locus predict...
View ArticleData from: Interplay between fungicides and parasites: tebuconazole, but not...
Natural populations are commonly exposed to complex stress scenarios, including anthropogenic contamination and their biological enemies (e.g., parasites). The study of the pollutant-parasite interplay...
View ArticleData from: Baltic pipefish females need twice as many males as they get
Sex role reversal in two pipefish species, Syngnathus typhle and Nerophis ophidion, is potentially explained by females reproducing twice as fast as males. Moreover, in oceanic populations from the...
View ArticleData from: The within-host dynamics of infection in trans-generationally...
Many taxa exhibit plastic immune responses initiated after primary microbial exposure that provide increased protection against disease-induced mortality and the fitness costs of infection. In several...
View ArticleData from: Paternity analysis of wild caught females shows that sperm package...
In species where females store sperm, males may try to influence paternity by the strategic placement of sperm within the female’s sperm storage organ. Sperm may be mixed or layered in storage organs...
View ArticleData from: Platelet GPIIb supports initial pulmonary retention but inhibits...
Platelets modulate the process of cancer metastasis. However, current knowledge on the direct interaction of platelets and tumor cells is mostly based on findings obtained in vitro. We addressed the...
View ArticleData from: Adaptive differentiation coincides with local bioclimatic...
Background: Many fungal species occur across a variety of habitats. Particularly lichens, fungi forming symbioses with photosynthetic partners, have evolved remarkable tolerances for environmental...
View ArticleData from: Taxonomic revision of the Malagasy Camponotus grandidieri and...
The Camponotus grandidieri species group and Camponotus niveosetosus species group of the Malagasy region are revised. Species delimitation was inferred from the evidence of both qualitative...
