Data from: The biogeography of kin discrimination across microbial neighborhoods
The spatial distribution of potential interactants is critical to social evolution in all cooperative organisms. Yet the biogeography of microbial kin discrimination at the scales most relevant to...
View ArticleData from: Collective strategy for obstacle navigation during cooperative...
Group cohesion and consensus have primarily been studied in the context of discrete decisions, but some group tasks require making serial decisions that build on one another. We examine such collective...
View ArticleData from: High early life mortality in free-ranging dogs is largely...
Free-ranging dogs are a ubiquitous part of human habitations in many developing countries, leading a life of scavengers dependent on human wastes for survival. The effective management of free-ranging...
View ArticleData from: Stand structural diversity rather than species diversity enhances...
Stand structural diversity, typically characterized by variances in tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height, plays a critical role in influencing aboveground carbon (C) storage. However,...
View ArticleData from: Odd-paired controls frequency doubling in Drosophila segmentation...
The Drosophila embryo transiently exhibits a double segment periodicity, defined by the expression of seven "pair-rule" genes, each in a pattern of seven stripes. At gastrulation, interactions between...
View ArticleData from: Tests of species-specific models reveal the importance of drought...
Past climate change has caused shifts in species distributions and undoubtedly impacted patterns of genetic variation, but the biological processes mediating responses to climate change, and their...
View ArticleData from: Ephemeral ecological speciation and the latitudinal biodiversity...
The richness of biodiversity in the tropics compared to high latitude parts of the world forms one of the most globally conspicuous patterns in biology, and yet few hypotheses aim to explain this...
View ArticleData from: Neural correlations enable invariant coding and perception of...
Neural representations of behaviorally relevant stimulus features displaying invariance with respect to different contexts are essential for perception. However, the mechanisms mediating their...
View ArticleData from: miR-17-3p exacerbates oxidative damage in human retinal pigment...
Oxidative stress has been shown to contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA molecules that function in RNA silencing and...
View ArticleData from: Plant mutualisms with rhizosphere microbiota in introduced versus...
The performance of introduced plants can be limited by the availability of soil mutualists outside their native range, but how interactions with mutualists differ between ranges is largely unknown. If...
View ArticleData from: An upper bound for accuracy of prediction using GBLUP
This study aims at characterizing the asymptotic behavior of genomic prediction R2 as the size of the reference population increases for common or rare QTL alleles through simulations. Haplotypes...
View ArticleData from: A fresh approach reveals how dispersal shapes metacommunity...
1. To understand species losses from disturbed landscapes, it is important to distinguish the effects of degraded environmental conditions from those caused by barriers to dispersal between habitat...
View ArticleData from: Post-spawning sexual selection in red and white Chinook salmon...
Post-copulatory processes, including sperm competition and cryptic female choice (CFC), can play important roles in the maintenance of polymorphisms. In Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), color...
View ArticleData from: Experimentally provided conspecific cues boost bird territory...
Decision-making during different life history stages requires information, which is obtained through own or others’ experience and interaction with the environment. In birds, song is important for...
View ArticleData from: Denning habits of free-ranging dogs reveal preference for human...
Dens are crucial in the early development of many mammals, making den site selection an important component of parental care in such species. Resource availability and shelter from predators primarily...
View ArticleData from: Ecological niche modelling for conservation planning of an endemic...
Conservation managers and policy makers are often confronted with a challenging dilemma of devising suitable strategies to maintain agricultural productivity while conserving endemic species that at...
View ArticleData from: Global human footprint maps for 1993 and 2009
Remotely-sensed and bottom-up survey information were compiled on eight variables measuring the direct and indirect human pressures on the environment globally in 1993 and 2009. This represents not...
View ArticleData from: Cityscape genetics: structural versus functional connectivity of...
Functional connectivity is essential for the long-term persistence of populations. However, many studies assess connectivity with a focus on structural connectivity only. Cityscapes, namely urban...

1. Tropical lianas deploy most of their leaves towards the top of the forest canopy, whereas trees exhibit a more stratified crown. Forest canopies are often exposed to hot and windy conditions, and how...
View ArticleData from: Multiple mutualist effects on genome-wide expression in the...
While all species interact with multiple mutualists, the fitness consequences and molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions remain largely unknown. We combined factorial ecological experiments...
