Abstract Bacteria adapting to living in a host cell caused the most salient events evolution of eukaryotes, namely seminal fusion with an archaeon, and emergence both mitochondrion chloroplast. A bacterial clade that may hold key understanding these is deep-branching gammaproteobacterial order Legionellales—containing among others Coxiella Legionella—of which all known members grow inside eukaryotic cells. Here, by analyzing 35 novel Legionellales genomes mainly acquired through...
1. Winter temperatures in northern latitudes are predicted to increase markedly as a result of ongoing climate change, thus making the invasion new insect defoliators possible. The establishment outbreak pest species may have major effects on ecosystems that particularly sensitive disturbances. 2. Effects winter minimum under field and laboratory conditions were examined limitations by future range expansion investigated for invasive [ Operophtera brumata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)]...
ABSTRACT Due to their submerged and cryptic lifestyle, the vast majority of fungal species are difficult observe describe morphologically, many remain known science only from sequences detected in environmental samples. The lack practices delimit name most is a staggering limitation communication interpretation ecology evolution kingdom Fungi . Here, we use sequence data as taxonomical evidence combine phylogenetic ecological generate test hypotheses class Archaeorhizomycetes (...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are central in controlling immune responses, and dysregulation of their function can lead to autoimmune disorders or cancer. Despite extensive studies on Tregs, the basis epigenetic regulation human Treg development is incompletely understood. Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNA)s important for shaping maintaining landscape different cell types. In this study, we identified a gene chromosome 6p25.3 locus, encoding lincRNA, that was up-regulated during early...
Among cyclic populations of herbivores, inter-specific temporal synchrony has been attributed to both climatic factors and trophic interactions. In northern Europe, winter autumnal moths undergo regular 9–11 year population cycles. The moth cycle typically phase-locked with that the moth, but a 1–3-year phase lag. We examined potential effects natural enemies on this lag using field experiments observational data. found larval parasitism was significantly higher in than moths. Conversely,...
Abstract Purpose: Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is an oncoprotein that inhibits the tumor suppressor PP2A-B56α. However, CIP2A mRNA variants remain uncharacterized. Here, we report discovery a splicing variant, novel variant (NOCIVA). Experimental Design: Characterization was performed by both 3′ and 5′ rapid amplification cDNA ends from cancer cells. The function NOCIVA assessed structural molecular biology approaches. Its clinical relevance studied in acute myeloid...
1. Both direct and indirect competition can have profound effects on species abundance expansion rates, especially for a trying to strengthen foothold in new areas, such as the winter moth ( Operophtera brumata ) currently northernmost Finland. There, moths overlapping outbreak ranges with autumnal Epirrita autumnata ), who also share same host, mountain birch Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii ). Competitive interactions are possible, but so far unstudied, explanations observed 1–3 years...
The warming climate has enabled a rapid expansion of many forest pests. adaptation potential the invaders affects largely on how well invasive species can spread to new areas and in what extent they have an impact invaded ecosystem. To measure (winter moth) potentially defoliating moth (scarce umber moth), we examined life history parameters two environments set genetically diverse host trees compared traits with those resident (autumnal moth). In addition, variations due genotype were...
Indirect plant defence mechanisms enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies herbivores. Herbivore‐induced volatiles (HIPVs) attract parasitoids insect herbivores as shown both in numerous choice tests conducted under laboratory conditions and relatively few common‐garden setups agro‐ecosystems. However, importance this indirect trait at higher levels biological organization has yet to be investigated through field experiments. Here, we report a experiment larval parasitism two cyclic...
The increasing amount of transcriptomic data has brought to light vast numbers potential novel RNA transcripts. Accurately distinguishing long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) from protein-coding messenger (mRNAs) challenged bioinformatic tool developers. Most recently, tools implementing deep learning architectures have been developed for this task, with the discovering sequence features and their interactions still not surfaced in current knowledge. We compared performance other predictive that...
Abstract. Generalist natural enemies are usually not considered as being capable of causing population cycles in forest insects, but they may influence the dynamics their prey low density cycle phase when specialist largely absent. In present field study, total response generalist invertebrate predator community to experimentally established pupal densities closely related autumnal ( Epirrita autumnata ) and winter moths Operophtera brumata was analysed. Due high amount variation dataset,...
Abstract Insect pests strongly affect the productivity and profitability of agriculture forestry. Despite well-known sensitivity insects to abiotic effects such as temperature, their potential responses ongoing climate change remain unclear. Here we compile review documented 31 globally most impactful phytophagous insect pests, focussing on species for which long-term, high-quality data are available. Most selected show at least one response affecting severity including changes in geographic...
