Energy-harnessing problem solving of primordial life: Modeling the emergence of catalytic host-nested parasite life cycles
All life forms on earth ultimately descended from a primordial population dubbed the last universal common ancestor or LUCA via Darwinian evolution. Extant living systems share two salient functional features, a metabolism extracting and transforming energ ...
2023Phenotypic plasticity versus ecotypic differentiation under recurrent summer drought in two drought-tolerant pine species
Despite worldwide reports of high tree mortality, growing evidence indicates that many tree species are well adapted to survive repeated dry spells. The drought resilience of trees is related to their phenotypic plasticity and ecotypic differentiation. Whe ...
WILEY2021Contrasting Leaf Trait Responses of Conifer and Broadleaved Seedlings to Altered Resource Availability Are Linked to Resource Strategies
Christoph Bachofen, Yan Li Zhang
(1) Understanding tree seedling responses to water, nutrient, and light availability is crucial to precisely predict potential shifts in composition and structure of forest communities under future climatic conditions. (2) We exposed seedlings of widesprea ...
2020Rapid identification and interpretation of gene‐environment associations using the new R.SamBada landscape genomics pipeline
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Estelle Rochat, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel, Elia Vajana
Samβada is a genome‐environment association (GEA) software, designed to search for signatures of local adaptation. However, pre‐ and post‐processing of data can be labour‐intensive, preventing wider uptake of the method. We have now developed R.SamBada, an ...
2019Increasing temperature and decreasing specific leaf area amplify centipede predation impact on Collembola
Collembola is an abundant group of soil organisms playing a major role on litter decomposition process and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Habitat structure strongly influences Collembola assemblages as plant litter physical characteristics and quan ...
ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER20183D Printing of Rat Salivary Glands: The Submandibular-Sublingual Complex
The morphology and the functionality of the murid glandular complex, composed of the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands (SSC), were the object of several studies conducted mainly using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using a 4.7 T scanner and a ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Crosslingual Tandem-SGMM: Exploiting Out-Of-Language Data for Acoustic Model and Feature Level Adaptation
Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, David Imseng
Recent studies have shown that speech recognizers may benefit from data in languages other than the target language through efficient acoustic model- or feature-level adaptation. Crosslingual Tandem-Subspace Gaussian Mixture Models (SGMM) are successfully ...

Idiap2013Bootstrapping phylogenies inferred from rearrangement data
Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan
Background: Large-scale sequencing of genomes has enabled the inference of phylogenies based on the evolution of genomic architecture, under such events as rearrangements, duplications, and losses. Many evolutionary models and associated algorithms have be ...
BioMed Central2012Comparison of 4D Phase-Contrast MRI Flow Measurements to Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Cerebrospinal Fluid Motion in the Cervical Spine
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bryn Andrew Martin
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the cervical spinal subarachnoid space (SSS) have been thought to be important to help diagnose and assess craniospinal disorders such as Chiari I malformation (CM). In this study we obtained time-resolved three direct ...
