Reproductive isolation arises during laboratory adaptation to a novel hot environment
Background: Reproductive isolation can result from adaptive processes (e.g., ecological speciation and mutation-order speciation) or stochastic processes such as "system drift" model. Ecological speciation predicts barriers to gene flow between populations ...
BMC2024Radiation Patterns of RF Wireless Devices Implanted in Small Animals: Unexpected Deformations Due to Body Resonance
Anja Skrivervik, Stéphanie Lacour, Zvonimir Sipus, Mingxiang Gao, German Augusto Ramirez Arroyave, Kangling Wu
One challenge in designing RF wireless bioelectronic devices is the impact of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and host body tissues on far-field wireless performance. In this paper, we investigate a peculiar phenomenon of implantable RF wirel ...
2023The biofilm ecology of proglacial floodplain streams
Glacial forelands figure among the most dynamic landscapes on Earth, and their formation is currently accelerating given glacier shrinkage. Draining these forelands are streams hosting unique microbial communities, which have the capacity to impact both th ...
EPFL2023Limited role of soil texture in mediating natural vegetation response to rainfall anomalies
Evidence suggests that the response of rainfed crops to dry or wet years is modulated by soil texture. This is a central tenet for certain agronomic operations in water-limited regions that rely on spatial distribution of soil texture for guiding precision ...
2022Seascape genomics reveals candidate molecular targets of heat stress adaptation in three coral species
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier
Anomalous heat waves are causing a major decline of hard corals around the world and threatening the persistence of coral reefs. There are, however, reefs that have been exposed to recurrent thermal stress over the years and whose corals appear to have bee ...
WILEY2021Subarray antenna fed by analog beamforming network for 5G picocell applications
In this paper a subarray fed by an analog beamforming network for 5G picocell applications is proposed. Design requirements are presented taking into account frequency band operation, bandwidth, radiation pattern shape and both, antenna element and transmi ...
IEEE2020Form - function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective
Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored. Here, the question of a functi ...
Royal Soc2017Foldable Drones: from Biology to Technology
Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Jun Shintake
Current drones are developed with a fixed morphology that can limit their versatility and mission capabilities. There is biological evidence that adaptive morphological changes can not only extend dynamic performances, but also provide new functionalities. ...
SPIE2017Can multi-generational exposure to ocean warming and acidification lead to the adaptation of life-history and physiology in a marine metazoan?
Emma Mary Gibbin, Félix Christen
Ocean warming and acidification are concomitant global drivers that are currently threatening the survival of marine organisms. How species will respond to these changes depends on their capacity for plastic and adaptive responses. Little is known about th ...
Company Of Biologists Ltd2016Multi-resistance of human enterovirus to UV-C disinfection and mutagenic nucleoside analogs
Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Qingxia Zhong
Disinfection is an important strategy to control the environmental transmission of human viruses. Specifically, UV254 is increasingly used to disinfect from clinical items or surfaces to drinking water. RNA virus populations have high mutation rates and la ...
