Coupled carbon and nitrogen cycling regulates the cnidarian–algal symbiosis

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nils Rädecker

Efficient nutrient recycling underpins the ecological success of cnidarian-algal symbioses in oligotrophic waters. In these symbioses, nitrogen limitation restricts the growth of algal endosymbionts in hospite and stimulates their release of photosynthates ...

Spatio-temporal modeling of the crowding conditions and metabolic variability in microbial communities

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Liliana Angeles Martinez

The metabolic capabilities of the species and the local environment shape the microbial interactions in a community either through the exchange of metabolic products or the competition for the resources. Cells are often arranged in close proximity to each ...

Stoichiometric N:P flexibility and mycorrhizal symbiosis favour plant resistance against drought

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Drought induces changes in the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycle but most plant species have limited flexibility to take up nutrients under such variable or unbalanced N and P availability. Both the degree of flexibility in plant N:P ratio and of ro ...

Tracking the signaling cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues

Anders Meibom, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but how and where bacteria interact with their host, remain largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacterium Vibrio f ...

Tracking the signaling cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues

Anders Meibom, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but the precise nature of molecular exchange between partners remains largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacteriu ...

Data Management in Participatory Sensing

Mehdi Riahi

In recent years there has been a proliferation of privately owned sensing devices such as GPS devices, cameras, home weather stations and, more importantly, smart-phones. Most of these devices are either intrinsically mobile, e.g., smart-phones and GPS dev ...

Decentralized polling with respectable participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Maxime Monod

We consider the polling problem in a social network: participants express support for a given option and expect an outcome reflecting the opinion of the majority. Individuals in a social network care about their reputation: they do not want their vote to b ...

Effective Usage of Computational Trust Models in Rational Environments

Karl Aberer, Hung Le Vu

Computational reputation-based trust models using statistical learning have been intensively studied for distributed systems where peers behave maliciously. However practical applications of such models in environments with both malicious and rational beha ...

Information and Communication Technology for Industrial Symbiosis

Guillaume Bastien Massard

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 ...

Methods for Artificial Evolution of Truly Cooperative Robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Cooperation applies the situations where two or more individuals obtain a net benefit by working together. Cooperation is widely spread in nature and takes several forms, ranging from behavioral coordination to sacrifice of one’s own life for the benefit o ...
