A single-cell view of ammonium assimilation in coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis
Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Christophe Kopp
Assimilation of inorganic nitrogen from nutrient-poor tropical seas is an essential challenge for the endosymbiosis between reef-building corals and dinoflagellates. Despite the clear evidence that reef-building corals can use ammonium as inorganic nitroge ...
2012Loss of reproductive parasitism following transfer of male-killing Wolbachia to Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans
Wolbachia manipulate insect host biology through a variety of means that result in increased production of infected females, enhancing its own transmission. A Wolbachia strain (wInn) naturally infecting Drosophila innubila induces male killing, while nativ ...
Nature Publishing Group2012Regulation of Apoptotic Mediators Reveals Dynamic Responses to Thermal Stress in the Reef Building Coral Acropora millepora
Background: Mass coral bleaching is increasing in scale and frequency across the world's coral reefs and is being driven primarily by increased levels of thermal stress arising from global warming. In order to understand the impacts of projected climate ch ...
Public Library of Science2011Hydrologic controls and anthropogenic drivers of the zebra mussel invasion of the Mississippi-Missouri river system
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto
We propose a novel ecohydrological model for the invasion of inland waters by the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha and test it against field data gathered within the Mississippi-Missouri river system in North America. This biological invasion poses major ...
American Geophysical Union2011Information and Communication Technology for Industrial Symbiosis
Industrial symbiosis describes the mutualistic interaction of dif- ferent industries for beneficial reuse of waste flows or energy cascading that results in a more resource-efficient production system and fewer adverse environmental impacts. Research shows ...
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press2010Isotopic analysis of cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation associated with subarctic lichen and bryophyte species
Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov
Dinitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria is of particular importance for the nutrient economy of cold biomes, constituting the main pathway for new N supplies to tundra ecosystems. It is prevalent in cyanobacterial colonies on bryophytes and in obligate associ ...
