Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought
Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu
Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...
Wiley2024Stochastic pairwise preference convergence in Bayesian agents
Beliefs inform the behaviour of forward-thinking agents in complex environments. Recently, sequential Bayesian inference has emerged as a mechanism to study belief formation among agents adapting to dynamical conditions. However, we lack critical theory to ...
2024Wide-scale identification of novel/eliminated genes responsible for evolutionary transformations
BackgroundIt is generally accepted that most evolutionary transformations at the phenotype level are associated either with rearrangements of genomic regulatory elements, which control the activity of gene networks, or with changes in the amino acid conten ...
2023DNA modifications impact natural transformation of Acinetobacter baumannii
Melanie Blokesch, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli, Alexandre Lemopoulos, Nina Vesel
Acinetobacter baumannii is a dangerous nosocomial pathogen, especially due to its ability to rapidly acquire new genetic traits, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARG). In A. baumannii, natural competence for transformation, one of the primary modes o ...
2023CHARACTERIZING THE RESILIENCE AND ADAPTATION OF BIOFILM COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN GLACIER-FED STREAMS
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Nicola Deluigi, David Touchette, Martina Gonzalez Mateu, Florian Baier
Biofilms conform the dominant microbial lifestyle in alpine streams where they are major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, relatively little is known about their adaptive capacity to climate change as water temperature rises and hydrolo ...
2023A Framework for Autonomic Computing for In Situ Imageomics
In situ imageomics is a new approach to study ecological, biological and evolutionary systems wherein large image and video data sets are captured in the wild and machine learning methods are used to infer biological traits of individual organisms, animal ...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc2023Trusting the Explainers: Teacher Validation of Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Course Design
Vinitra Swamy, Mirko Marras, Sijia Du
Deep learning models for learning analytics have become increasingly popular over the last few years; however, these approaches are still not widely adopted in real-world settings, likely due to a lack of trust and transparency. In this paper, we tackle th ...
2023Towards mouse genetic-specific RNA-sequencing read mapping
Genetic variations affect behavior and cause disease but understanding how these variants drive complex traits is still an open question. A common approach is to link the genetic variants to intermediate molecular phenotypes such as the transcriptome using ...
2022Genome-Wide Association Study of Alzheimer's Disease Brain Imaging Biomarkers and Neuropsychological Phenotypes in the European Medical Information Framework for Alzheimer's Disease Multimodal Biomarker Discovery Dataset
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disease with an increasing prevalence in industrialized, aging populations. AD susceptibility has an established genetic basis which has been the focus of a large number of genome-wide associa ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Regulation of sedimentation rate shapes the evolution of multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of animals
Significant increases in sedimentation rate accompany the evolution of multicellularity. These increases should lead to rapid changes in ecological distribution, thereby affecting the costs and benefits of multicellularity and its likelihood to evolve. How ...
