Mating systems, that is, whether organisms give rise to progeny by selfing, inbreeding or outcrossing, strongly affect important ecological and evolutionary processes. Large variations in mating systems exist in fungi, allowing the study of their origin an ...
Little is known about the diversity and ecology of earthworms in flocdplains, as well as their response to natural and anthropic perturbations (e.g. floods, river channelisation, floodplain restoration). We characterised the patterns of earthworm communiti ...
Depuis plus de 30 ans, Cuba est frappée par une crise économique qui a conduit le pays à une situation de survie permanente provoquant au fil des années une forte dégradation de l'habitat urbain. La municipalité de Centro Habana dans la ville de La Havane ...
Retroviruses are both powerful evolutionary forces and dangerous threats to genome integrity. As such, they have imposed strong selective pressure on their hosts, notably triggering the emergence of restriction factors, such as TRIM5alpha, that act as pote ...
This paper discusses the idea of using a single Pareto-compliant surrogate model for multiobjective optimization. While most surrogate approaches to multi-objective optimization build a surrogate model for each objective, the recently proposed mono surroga ...
Most surrogate approaches to multi-objective optimization build a surrogate model for each objective. These surrogates can be used inside a classical Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Algorithm (EMOA) in lieu of the actual objectives, without modify ...
Clenet et al. (2011) have developed an adapted version of the Modified Gaussian Model (MGM). The improvements allow the characterization of spectra of olivine-pyroxene(s) mixtures, addressing both modal composition and individual minerals chemical composit ...
Understanding and forecasting changes in plant communities, ecosystem properties, and their associated services requires a mechanistic link between community shifts and modifications in ecosystem properties. In this study, we test the hypothesis that plant ...
The implementation of four bidentate building blocks into a highdenticity linker with a flexible spacer leads to a predisposed ligand that allows one to direct the self- assembly of 1D functional coordination polymers. This is illustrated by the assembly u ...
The complex secondary metabolite anachelin, isolated from the freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, is believed to act as siderophore, facilitating iron uptake. Its structure is characterized by a fascinating blend of polyketide, peptide, and alka ...
