Data from: Finding a needle in a haystack: distinguishing Mexican maize...
In Mexico's territory, the center of origin and domestication of maize (Zea mays), there is a large phenotypic diversity of this crop. This diversity has been classified into “landraces.” Previous...
View ArticleData from: Wood density of trees in savannas of the northern Brazilian Amazon
Wood density (WD) is an important variable for estimating tree carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. WD has been little studied in savanna areas in the Brazilian Amazon. The aim of this study was to...
View ArticleData from: The telomeric DNA damage response occurs in the absence of...
Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures that protect chromosome ends from DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA rearrangements. The telomeric shelterin protein TRF2 suppresses the DDR, and this...
View ArticleData from: The evolutionary origin of variation in song length and frequency...
Aspects of bird song have been shown to correlate with morphological and ecological features, including beak and body size, and habitat. Here we study evolution of song length and song frequency among...
View ArticleData from: Genomic clustering of adaptive loci during parallel evolution of...
The buildup of the phenotypic differences that distinguish species has long intrigued biologists. These differences are often inherited as stable polymorphisms that allow the co-segregation of adaptive...
View ArticleData from: Screening of duplicated loci reveals hidden divergence patterns in...
A whole genome duplication (WGD) doubles the entire genomic content of a species and is thought to have catalyzed adaptive radiation in some polyploid-origin lineages. However, little is known about...
View ArticleData from: The microbially-mediated soil organic carbon loss under...
Land-cover change has long been recognized as having marked effect on the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the microbially-mediated processes and mechanisms on SOC are still unclear. In...
View ArticleData from: Sex matters in Massive Parallel Sequencing: evidence for biases in...
Using massively parallel sequencing data from two species with different life history traits, American lobster (Homarus americanus) and Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus), we highlight how an unbalanced...
View ArticleData from: Edaphic factors determining the occurrence of herbaceous legumes...
Edaphic factors have been indicated as a determinant of the distribution of plant communities in Amazonia. The aim of this study was to detect which edaphic factors determine the occurrence of...
View ArticleData from: Adaptation to fluctuating environments in a selection experiment...
A fundamental question in life-history evolution is how organisms cope with fluctuating environments, including variation between stressful and benign conditions. For short-lived organisms,...
View ArticleData from: Modeling connectivity to identify current and future anthropogenic...
This study sought to identify critical areas for puma (Puma concolor) movement across the state of Arizona in the American Southwest and to identify those most likely to be impacted by current and...
View ArticleData from: Null alleles are ubiquitous at microsatellite loci in the Wedge...
Recent studies have reported an unusually high frequency of nonamplifying alleles at microsatellite loci in bivalves. Null alleles have been associated with heterozygous deficits in many studies. While...
View ArticleData from: Cyanobacteria maintain constant protein concentration despite...
The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 has multiple copies of its single chromosome, and the copy number varies in individual cells, providing an ideal system to study the effect of genome...
View ArticleData from: Dry habitats were crucibles of domestication in the evolution of...
The evolution of ant agriculture, as practiced by the fungus-farming “attine” ants, is thought to have arisen in the wet rainforests of South America about 55-65 Ma. Most subsequent attine agricultural...
View ArticleData from: Synchronized excitability in a network enables generation of...
Hippocampal place field sequences are supported by sensory cues and network internal mechanisms. In contrast, sharp-wave (SPW) sequences, theta sequences, and episode field sequences are internally...
View ArticleData from: Estimations of evapotranspiration in an age sequence of Eucalyptus...
Eucalyptus species are widely planted for reforestation in subtropical China. However, the effects of Eucalyptus plantations on the regional water use remain poorly understood. In an age sequence of...
View ArticleData from: Diversity in tropical ecosystems: the species richness and...
As a contribution to accurate estimation of arthropod alpha and beta diversities in tropical forests, we present results of some of the largest moth samples ever collected in the Malaysian region. To...
View ArticleData from: Learning from the past to prepare for the future: felids face...
Many contemporary species of large-felids (>15 kg) feed upon prey that are endangered, raising concern that prey population declines (defaunation) will further threaten felids. We assess the threat...
View ArticleData from: A hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite dataset
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have been attracting a great deal of attention due to their versatility of electronic properties and fabrication methods. We prepare a dataset of 1,346...
View ArticleData from: Graphics for relatedness research
Studies of relatedness have been crucial in molecular ecology over the last decades. Good evidence of this is the fact that studies of population structure, evolution of social behaviours, genetic...
