Analysis of a marine phototrophic biofilm by confocal laser scanning microscopy using the new image quantification software PHLIP
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-15 - 2006
Lukas N Mueller, Jody FC de Brouwer, Jonas S Almeida, Lucas J Stal, João B Xavier
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is the method of choice to study interfacial biofilms and acquires time-resolved three-dimensional data of the biofilm structure. CLSM can be used in a multi-channel modus where the different channels map individual biofilm components. This communication presents a novel image quantification tool, PHLIP, for the quantitative analysis of large amounts of mu...... hiện toàn bộ
The dynamics of social networks among female Asian elephants
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-16 - 2011
Shermin de Silva, Ashoka DG Ranjeewa, Sergey Kryazhimskiy
Patterns in the association of individuals can shed light on the underlying conditions and processes that shape societies. Here we characterize patterns of association in a population of wild Asian Elephants at Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka. We observed 286 individually-identified adult female elephants over 20 months and examined their social dynamics at three levels of organization: pair...... hiện toàn bộ
Queen dominance and worker policing control reproduction in a threatened ant
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-7 - 2011
Jürgen Trettin, Monika Haubner, Alfred Buschinger, Jürgen Heinze
Efficient division of reproductive labor is a crucial characteristic of social insects and underlies their ecological and evolutionary success. Despite of the harmonious appearance of insect societies, nestmates may have different interests concerning the partitioning of reproduction among group members. This may lead to conflict about reproductive rights. As yet, few studies have investigated the...... hiện toàn bộ
Temporal development and collapse of an Arctic plant-pollinator network
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 Số 1 - 2009
Clementine Pradal, Jes Olesen, Carsten Wiuf
Abstract Background The temporal dynamics and formation of plant-pollinator networks are difficult to study as it requires detailed observations of how the networks change over time. Understanding the temporal dynamics might provide insight into sustainability and robustness of the networks and h...... hiện toàn bộ
An open future for ecological and evolutionary data?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
Amye Kenall, Simon Harold, Christopher Foote
As part of BioMed Central’s open science mission, we are pleased to announce that two of our journals have integrated with the open data repository Dryad. Authors submitting their research to either BMC Ecology or BMC Evolutionary Biology will now have the opportunity to deposit their data directly into the Dryad archive and will receive a permanent, citable link to their dataset. Although this do...... hiện toàn bộ
Burrow characteristics of the co-existing sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor and the genetic basis of adaptation to hypoxic/hypercapnic stress
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2009
Sunita Singh, Nge Cheong, Gopeshwar Narayan, T Sharma
The co-existing, sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor show a difference in site-preference for burrows. The former build them in flat portion of the fields while the latter make burrows in earthen mounds raised for holding water in cultivated fields. In northern India which experiences great variation in climatic condition between summer and winter, M. booduga burrows have an average dep...... hiện toàn bộ
Capturing chloroplast variation for molecular ecology studies: a simple next generation sequencing approach applied to a rainforest tree
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2013
Hannah McPherson, Marlien van der Merwe, Sven K Delaney, Mark A Edwards, Robert J Henry, Emma McIntosh, Paul D Rymer, Melita L Milner, Juelian Siow, Maurizio Rossetto
With high quantity and quality data production and low cost, next generation sequencing has the potential to provide new opportunities for plant phylogeographic studies on single and multiple species. Here we present an approach for in silicio chloroplast DNA assembly and single nucleotide polymorphism detection from short-read shotgun sequencing. The approach is simple and effective and can be im...... hiện toàn bộ
A rate equation model of stomatal responses to vapour pressure deficit and drought
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-14 - 2002
D Eamus, ST Shanahan
Stomata respond to vapour pressure deficit (D) – when D increases, stomata begin to close. Closure is the result of a decline in guard cell turgor, but the link between D and turgor is poorly understood. We describe a model for stomatal responses to increasing D based upon cellular water relations. The model also incorporates impacts of increasing levels of water stress upon stomatal responses to ...... hiện toàn bộ
Seasonal cues induce phenotypic plasticity of Drosophila suzukii to enhance winter survival
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-18 - 2016
Peter W. Shearer, Jessica D. West, Vaughn M. Walton, Preston H. Brown, Nicolas Svetec, Joanna C. Chiu
As global climate change and exponential human population growth intensifies pressure on agricultural systems, the need to effectively manage invasive insect pests is becoming increasingly important to global food security. Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that drastically expanded its global range in a very short time since 2008, spreading to most areas in North America and many countries i...... hiện toàn bộ
Commonness and ecology, but not bigger brains, predict urban living in birds
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1-14 - 2015
Svein Dale, Jan T Lifjeld, Melissah Rowe
Several life history and ecological variables have been reported to affect the likelihood of species becoming urbanized. Recently, studies have also focused on the role of brain size in explaining ability to adapt to urban environments. In contrast, however, little is known about the effect of colonization pressure from surrounding areas, which may confound conclusions about what makes a species u...... hiện toàn bộ
