Predictability of biomass burning in response to climate changes

Yi Zhang, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Christopher Michael Long

Climate is an important control on biomass burning, but the sensitivity of fire to changes in temperature and moisture balance has not been quantified. We analyze sedimentary charcoal records to show that the changes in fire regime over the past 21,000 yrs ...

Dendritic connectivity controls biodiversity patterns in experimental metacommunities

Andrea Rinaldo, Francesco Carrara, Florian Altermatt

Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes. Recent theoretical work suggests that dispersal constrained by the connectivity of specific habitat structures, s ...

Monalysin, a novel ß-pore-forming toxin from the Drosophila pathogen Pseudomonas entomophila, contributes to host intestinal damage and lethality

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Bruno Lemaitre, Mircea Ioan Iacovache, Rodrigo Manuel Gonzalez, Onya Opota

Pseudomonas entomophila is an entomopathogenic bacterium that infects and kills Drosophila. P. entomophila pathogenicity is linked to its ability to cause irreversible damages to the Drosophila gut, preventing epithelium renewal and repair. Here we report ...

Non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis in grassland species under artificial drought in the field

Constant Signarbieux

As drought stress is expected to occur more frequently in future climate in central Europe, survival and productivity of grassland species are an important issue. Non-stomatal limitation processes related to the drought-stress inhibition of photosynthesis ...

Polyploidy and invasion success: trait trade-offs in native and introduced cytotypes of two Asteraceae species

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Aurélie Thébault

Invasion success is favoured by the introduction of pre-adapted genotypes. In addition, novel pressures in the introduced range may lead to phenotypic changes related to fitness or competitive ability of introduced plants. Polyploidy appears to be over-rep ...

Cell Response to the Exposure to Chitosan-TPP//Alginate Nanogels

Jutta Christine Wandrey

Hydrophilic nanocarriers formed by electrostatic interaction of chitosan with oppositely charged macromolecules have a high potential as vectors in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, comprehensive information about the fate of such nanoma ...

Effects of Rewarding and Unrewarding Experiences on the Response to Host-induced Plant Odors of the Generalist Parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Anthony Christopher Davison, Ingrid Ricard

Associative learning is known to modify foraging behavior in numerous parasitic wasps. This is in agreement with optimal foraging theory, which predicts that the wasps will adapt their responses to specific cues in accordance with the rewards they receive ...

Methods for Designing Reliable Probe Arrays

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Abhishek Garg

Recent advances in biosensing technologies have led to applications of biosensor probe arrays for rapid identification of biological agents such as drugs, gene expressions, proteins, cholesterol and fats in an input sample. However, monitoring the simultan ...

Skeletal growth, ultrastructure and composition of the azooxanthellate scleractinian coral Balanophyllia regia

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

The biomineralization process and skeletal growth dynamics of azooxanthellate corals are poorly known. Here, the growth rate of the shallow-water dendrophyllid scleractinian coral Balanophyllia regia was evaluated with calcein-labeling experiments that sho ...
