Interbacterial competition and anti‐predatory behavior of environmental Vibrio cholerae strains
Melanie Blokesch, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr
Vibrio cholerae isolates responsible for cholera pandemics represent only a small portion of the diverse strains belonging to this species. Indeed, most V. cholerae are encountered in aquatic environments. To better understand the emergence of pandemic lin ...
2020The ultimate and proximate mechanisms driving the evolution of long tails in forest deer mice
Understanding both the role of selection in driving phenotypic change and its underlying genetic basis remain major challenges in evolutionary biology. Here, we use modern tools to revisit a classic system of local adaptation in the North American deer mou ...
Wiley2017Plague outbreaks in prairie dog populations explained by percolation thresholds of alternate host abundance
Highly lethal pathogens (e.g., hantaviruses, hendra virus, anthrax, or plague) pose unique public-health problems, because they seem to periodically flare into outbreaks before disappearing into long quiescent phases. A key element to their possible contro ...
2010Soil microbial community changes in wooded mountain pastures due to simulated effects of cattle grazing
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat
The effect of cattle activity on pastures can be subdivided into three categories of disturbances: herbage removal, dunging and trampling. The objective of this study was to assess separately or in combination the effect of these factors on the potential a ...
2005Seasonal vegetation changes in mountain pastures due to simulated effects of cattle grazing
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat
Cattle influence grassland dynamics in three ways: herbage removal, dung deposition and trampling. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of these factors, separately or in combination, and to compare them with cattle grazing over a one year ...
