Data from: Frequency tuning and directional sensitivity of tympanal...
Female field crickets use phonotaxis to locate males by their calling song. Male song production and female behavioural sensitivity form a pair of matched frequency filters, which in Gryllus...
View ArticleData from: Reversion of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to human health globally. Alarmingly, multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis have now spread worldwide. Some...
View ArticleData from: Adaptation to random and systematic errors: Comparison of amputee...
The objective of this study was to understand how people adapt to errors when using a myoelectric control interface. We compared adaptation across 1) non-amputee subjects using joint angle, joint...
View ArticleData from: Towards an integrated database on Canadian ocean resources:...
Oceanic ecosystem services support a range of human benefits, and Canada has extensive research networks producing growing data sets. We present a first effort to compile, link, and harmonize available...
View ArticleData from: Feeding preference as a main determinant of microscale patchiness...
Soil-biota are responsible for essential ecosystem services such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling and water retention. However, assessment of the condition of soil-biota is hampered by an...
View ArticleData from: Genetic divergence with ongoing gene flow is maintained by the use...
Adaptation to different environments can promote population divergence via natural selection even in the presence of gene flow–a phenomenon that typically occurs during ecological speciation. To...
View ArticleData from: Fragility of foot process morphology in kidney podocytes arises...
The kidney podocyte's function depends on finger-like projections (foot processes) that interdigitate with those from neighboring cells to form the glomerular filtration barrier. The integrity of the...
View ArticleData from: RAD sequencing reveals genomewide divergence between independent...
Genomic studies of invasive species can reveal both invasive pathways and functional differences underpinning patterns of colonization success. The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) was initially...
View ArticleData from: Genomic evidence for convergent evolution of a key trait...
Reproductive isolation can be initiated by changes in one or a few key traits that prevent random mating among individuals in a population. During the early stages of speciation, when isolation is...
View ArticleData from: Activity patterns of serotonin neurons underlying cognitive...
Serotonin is implicated in mood and affective disorders. However, growing evidence suggests that a core endogenous role is to promote flexible adaptation to changes in the causal structure of the...
View ArticleData from: Phylogenomics using target-restricted assembly resolves...
Parasitic "wing lice" (Phthiraptera: Columbicola) and their dove and pigeon hosts are a well-recognized model system for coevolutionary studies at the intersection of micro- and macroevolution....
View ArticleData from: Muscle-tendon mechanics explain unexpected effects of exoskeleton...
The goal of this study was to gain insight into how ankle exoskeletons affect the behavior of the plantarflexor muscles during walking. Using data from previous experiments, we performed...
View ArticleData from: Competition during thermoregulation altered the body temperatures...
Every organism must thermoregulate to maximize its performance, but competing organisms limit access to preferred microclimates. Such competition often creates hierarchies in which dominant individuals...
View ArticleData from: Divergence in strategies for coping with winter embolism among...
1. In temperate ecosystems, freeze-thaw events are an important environmental stress that can induce severe xylem embolism (i.e. clogging of conduits by air bubbles) in overwintering organs of trees....
View ArticleData from: Contact and contagion: bighorn sheep demographic states vary in...
1. Understanding both contact and probability of transmission given contact are key to managing wildlife disease. However, wildlife disease research tends to focus on contact heterogeneity, in part...
View ArticleData from: Urban development, land sharing and land sparing: the importance...
1. At present, there is limited knowledge of how best to reconcile urban development with biodiversity conservation, and in particular whether populations of wild species would be greater under...
View ArticleData from: Enhancing plant diversity in agricultural landscapes promotes both...
1. Enhancing key floral resources is essential to effectively mitigate the loss of pollinator diversity and associated provisioning of pollination functions in agro-ecosystems. However, effective...
View ArticleData from: Harvesting biofuel grasslands has mixed effects on natural enemy...
1.Perennial bioenergy systems, such as switchgrass and restored prairies, are alternatives to commonly used annual monocultures such as maize. Perennial systems require lower chemical input, provide...
View ArticleData from: Using beta diversity to inform agricultural policies and...
1. Spatial variation in species composition (β-diversity) is an important component of farmland biodiversity, which together with local richness (α-diversity) drives the number of species in a region...
View ArticleData from: Depletion of heterogeneous source species pools predicts future...
Predicting how increasing rates of global trade will result in new establishments of potentially damaging invasive species is a question of critical importance to the development of national and...
