On species persistence-time distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

We present new theoretical and empirical results on the probability distributions of species persistence times in natural ecosystems. Persistence times, defined as the timespans occurring between species' colonization and local extinction in a given geogra ...

Complete genome sequence of the sulfate-reducing Firmicute Desulfotomaculum ruminis type strain (DLT)

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani

Desulfotomaculum ruminis Campbell and Postgate 1965 is a member of the large genus Desulfotomaculum which contains 30 species and is contained in the family Peptococcaceae. This species is of interest because it represents one of the few sulfate-reducing b ...

Boosted Hybrid Method for Solving Chemical Reaction Systems with Multiple Scales in Time and Population Size

Assyr Abdulle

A new algorithm, called boosted hybrid method, is proposed for the simulation of chemical reaction systems with scale-separation in time and disparity in species population. For such stiff systems, the algorithm can automatically identify scale-separation ...

Hydroperiod regime controls the organization of plant species in wetlands

Andrea Rinaldo

With urban, agricultural, and industrial needs growing throughout the past decades, wetland ecosystems have experienced profound changes. Most critically, the biodiversity of wetlands is intimately linked to its hydrologic dynamics, which in turn are being ...

Non-genetic inheritance and the patterns of antagonistic coevolution

Marcel Salathé

Antagonistic species interactions can lead to coevolutionary genotype or phenotype frequency oscillations, with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes. However, direct empirical evidence of such oscillations is rare. The rarity of ...

Complex interactions between spatial pattern of resident species and invasiveness of newly arriving species affect invasibility

Alexandre Buttler, Aurélie Thébault

Understanding the factors that affect establishment success of new species in established communities requires the study of both the ability of new species to establish and community resistance. Spatial pattern of species within a community can affect plan ...

Quantitative separation of monomeric U(IV) from UO2 in products of U(VI) reduction

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Benjamin Uster, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Daniel Scott Alessi

The reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium to tetravalent uranium can be catalyzed by bacteria and minerals. The end-product of this reduction is often the mineral uraninite, which was long assumed to be the only product of U(VI) reduction. However, recen ...

Plant traits across different habitats of the Italian Alps: a comparative analysis between native and alien species

Luca Bragazza

While it is well known that the success of alien plants in new environments greatly depends on their functional traits, to date only a few other studies have tested whether coexisting alien and native species show converging or diverging functional attribu ...

Stable carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of extant crinoidal echinoderm skeletons

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

The variability of delta C-13 and delta O-18 was determined within the columnal facet of individual ossicles, within different regions of skeletons and within bulk skeletons of extant stalked crinoids. Isotopic compositions of individual ossicles may vary ...

Quorum Sensing Contributes to Natural Transformation of Vibrio cholerae in a Species-Specific Manner

Melanie Blokesch, Patrick Martin Seitz, Gaia Francesca Marianne Suckow

Although it is a human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae is a regular member of aquatic habitats, such as coastal regions and estuaries. Within these environments, V. cholerae often takes advantage of the abundance of zooplankton and their chitinous molts as a nut ...
