Trait-specific dispersal of bacteria in heterogeneous porous environments: from pore to porous medium scale
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Filippo Miele, David Scheidweiler
The dispersal of organisms controls the structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scales is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environment ...
2020Sexual selection shapes development and maturation rates in Drosophila
Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis
Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...
Wiley2017Mutations in the polyglutamylase geneTTLL5, expressed in photoreceptor cells and spermatozoa, are associated with cone-rod degeneration and reduced male fertility
Hereditary retinal degenerations encompass a group of genetic diseases characterized by extreme clinical variability. Following next-generation sequencing and autozygome-based screening of patients presenting with a peculiar, recessive form of cone-dominat ...
Oxford University Press2016Taxonomic characterisation of Pseudomonas strain L48 and formal proposal of Pseudomonas entomophila sp nov.
An entomopathogenic, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a female specimen of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was taxonomically characterised. Strain L48(T) was strictly aerobic, non-fermentative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod-shaped, and moti ...
Elsevier2012Malaria parasites form filamentous cell-to-cell connections during reproduction in the mosquito midgut
Physical contact is important for the interaction between animal cells, but it can represent a major challenge for protists like malaria parasites. Recently, novel filamentous cell-cell contacts have been identified in different types of eukaryotic cells a ...
2011Quantitative Morphometrical Characterization of Human Pronuclear Zygotes
Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz
BACKGROUND: Identification of embryos with high implantation potential remains a challenge in in vitro fertilization (IVF). Subjective pronuclear (PN) zygote scoring systems have been developed for that purpose. The aim of this work was to provide a softwa ...
