Most and Least Preferred Colours Differ According to Object Context: New Insights from an Unrestricted Colour Range

Humans like some colours and dislike others, but which particular colours and why remains to be understood. Empirical studies on colour preferences generally targeted most preferred colours, but rarely least preferred (disliked) colours. In addition, findi ...

Genetic diversity of two Daphnia-infecting microsporidian parasites, based on sequence variation in the internal transcribed spacer region

Stefan Jean Laurent

Background: Microsporidia are spore-forming obligate intracellular parasites that include both emerging pathogens and economically important disease agents. However, little is known about the genetic diversity of microsporidia. Here, we investigated patter ...

The Impact of Linked Selection in Chimpanzees: A Comparative Study

Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Levels of nucleotide diversity vary greatly across the genomes of most species owing to multiple factors. These include variation in the underlying mutation rates, as well as the effects of both direct and linked selection. Fundamental to interpreting the ...

On the importance of skewed offspring distributions and background selection in virus population genetics

Kristen Kay Irwin, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim, Nicky Louise Ormond

Many features of virus populations make them excellent candidates for population genetic study, including a very high rate of mutation, high levels of nucleotide diversity, exceptionally large census population sizes, and frequent positive selection. Howev ...

Detecting and Quantifying Changing Selection Intensities from Time-Sampled Polymorphism Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim

During his well-known debate with Fisher regarding the phenotypic dataset of Panaxia dominula, Wright suggested fluctuating selection as a potential explanation for the observed change in allele frequencies. This model has since been invoked in a number of ...

Worldwide Population Structure, Long-Term Demography, and Local Adaptation of Helicobacter pylori

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Valeria Montano

Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen associated with serious gastric diseases. Owing to its medical importance and close relationship with its human host, understanding genomic patterns of global and local adaptation in H. pylori may be of pa ...

A simple model-based approach to variable selection in classification and clustering

Anthony Christopher Davison, Vahid Partovi Nia

Clustering and classification of replicated data is often performed using classical techniques that inappropriately treat the data as unreplicated, or by complex modern ones that are computationally demanding. In this paper, we introduce a simple approach ...

Curvature-induced symmetry breaking determines elastic surface patterns

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Symmetry-breaking transitions associated with the buckling and folding of curved multilayered surfaces—which are common to a wide range of systems and processes such as embryogenesis, tissue differentiation and structure formation in heterogeneous thin fil ...

Remarkably Divergent Regions Punctuate the Genome Assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans Hawaiian Strain CB4856

Tobias Johannes Schmid, Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

The Hawaiian strain (CB4856) of Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most divergent from the canonical laboratory strain N2 and has been widely used in developmental, population, and evolutionary studies. To enhance the utility of the strain, we have gener ...
