Worldwide analysis of reef surveys sorts coral taxa by associations with recent and past heat stress

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier

Coral reefs around the world are under threat from anomalous heat waves that are causing the widespread decline of hard corals. Different coral taxa are known to have different sensitivities to heat, although variation in susceptibilities have also been ob ...

Empirical validation of MesoHABSIM models developed with different habitat suitability criteria for bullhead cottus gobio L. as an indicator species

Giovanni De Cesare, Mikolaj Stanislaw Adamczyk, Piotr Parasiewicz

Application of instream habitat models such as the Mesohabitat Simulation Model (MesoHABSIM) is becoming increasingly popular. Such models can predict alteration to a river physical habitat caused by hydropower operation or river training. They are a tool ...

Neuronal morphologies: the shapes of thoughts

Lida Kanari

The mammalian brain, one of the most fascinating systems in nature, is a complex biological structure that has kept scientists busy for over a century. Many of the brain's mysteries have been unraveled due to the enormous efforts of the scientific communit ...

Adult human perception of distress in the cries of bonobo, chimpanzee, and human infants

Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vertebrate species (i ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transposable Elements and Their KRAB-ZFP Controllers Regulate Gene Expression in Adult Tissues

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Julien Léonard Duc, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Gabriela Ecco, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Helen Mary Rowe, Andrea Coluccio

KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress with their cofactor KAP1 through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a ...

Ecological strategies in stable and disturbed environments depend on species specialisation

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Ecological strategies are integral to understanding species survival in different environments. However, how habitat specialisation is involved in such strategies is not fully understood, particularly in heterogeneous and disturbed environments. Here, we s ...

Intra- and interspecific social challenges modulate the levels of an androgen precursor in a seasonally territorial tropical damselfish

Katarina Damjanovic

Studies on different vertebrate groups have provided evidence that androgen levels in males increase after competitive social interactions during the breeding season, as postulated by the Challenge Hypothesis. However, social modulation of androgen levels ...

Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events

Vincent Jung, Thomas Spiegelberger

Climate change is expected to increase the magnitude and the frequency of extreme climatic events such as droughts. Better understanding how plant communities will respond to these droughts is a major challenge. We expect the response to be a shift in func ...
