Data from: ZeitZeiger: supervised learning for high-dimensional data from an...
Numerous biological systems oscillate over time or space. Despite these oscillators’ importance, data from an oscillatory system is problematic for existing methods of regularized supervised learning....
View ArticleData from: Co-infections and environmental conditions drive the distributions...
Experimental work increasingly suggests that non-random pathogen associations can affect the spread or severity of disease. Yet due to difficulties distinguishing and interpreting co-infections,...

1. For socially monogamous species, breeder bond dissolution has important consequences for population dynamics, but the extent to which extrinsic or intrinsic population factors causes pair...

1. Eukaryotes commonly host communities of heritable symbiotic bacteria, many of which are not essential for their hosts’ survival and reproduction. There is laboratory evidence that these facultative...
View ArticleData from: Tradeoffs, spatial heterogeneity, and the maintenance of microbial...
Specialization and concomitant tradeoffs are assumed to underlie the non-neutral coexistence of lineages. Tradeoffs across heterogeneous environments can promote diversity by preventing competitive...
View ArticleData from: Anthropogenic debris ingestion by avifauna in eastern Australia
Anthropogenic debris in the world’s oceans and coastal environments is a pervasive global issue that has both direct and indirect impacts on avifauna. The number of bird species affected, the feeding...

AIMS: Elucidation of different physico-chemical parameters and the secretory enzymes released by Talaromyces verruculosus SGMNPf3 during cellulosic biomass degradation. METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
View ArticleData from: Species-level divergences in multiple functional traits between...
Background: One of the biggest challenges in avian taxonomy is the delimitation of allopatric species because their reproductive incompatibility cannot be directly studied in the wild. Instead,...
View ArticleData from: Individual differences in selective attention predict speech...
Listeners with normal hearing show considerable individual differences in speech understanding when competing speakers are present, as in a crowded restaurant. Here, we show that one source of this...
View ArticleData from: Fine-scale flight strategies of gulls in urban airflows indicate...
Birds modulate their flight paths in relation to regional and global airflows in order to reduce their travel costs. Birds should also respond to fine-scale airflows, although the incidence and value...
View ArticleData from: Intra-organ growth coordination in Drosophila is mediated by...
Regulation of final organ size is a complex developmental process that involves the integration of systemic and organ-specific processes. Previously, we have shown that in developing Drosophila,...

In this paper we asked the question: if we artificially raise the variability of torque control signals to match that of EMG, do subjects make similar errors and have similar uncertainty about their...

In many species, embryos can perceive and learn external sounds. Yet, the possibility that parents may use these embryonic capacities to alter their offspring’s developmental trajectories has not been...
View ArticleData from: The genetic architecture of freezing tolerance varies across the...
The capacity to tolerate freezing temperatures limits the geographical distribution of many plants, including several species of agricultural importance. However, the genes involved in freezing...

Duration of dormancy regulates seasonal timing in many organisms and may be modulated by day length and temperature. Though photoperiodic modulation has been well studied, temperature modulation of...
View ArticleData from: The genetic basis of discrete and quantitative colour variation in...
Background: Colour polymorphic species provide invaluable insight into processes that generate and maintain intra-specific variation. Despite an increasing understanding of the genetic basis of...
View ArticleData from: Glaciations, gradients, and geography: multiple drivers of...
The historical processes underlying high diversity in tropical biodiversity hotspots like the Western Ghats of Peninsular India remain poorly understood. We sampled bush frogs on 13 massifs across the...
View ArticleData from: Weak link between dispersal and parasite community differentiation...
Geographical isolation, habitat variation and trophic specialisation have contributed to a large extent to the astonishing diversity of cichlid fishes in the Great East African lakes. Because parasite...
View ArticleData from: The comparative hydrodynamics of rapid rotation by predatory...
Countless aquatic animals rotate appendages through the water, yet fluid forces are typically modeled with translational motion. To elucidate the hydrodynamics of rotation, we analyzed the raptorial...

Although ecologists have documented the effects of nitrogen enrichment on productivity, diversity and species composition, we know little about the relative importance of the mechanisms driving these...
