The evolution of reproductive division labour and social life in insects has lead to the emergence several life-history traits adaptations typical larger organisms: insect colonies can reach masses kilograms, they start reproducing only when are years old, live for decades. These features monopolization reproduction by one or few individuals a colony should affect molecular reducing effective population size. We tested this prediction analysing genome-wide patterns coding sequence...
Abstract An improved understanding of the mechanisms that regulate wildfire risk at local to regional scales is needed for design effective fire and ecosystem management. We investigated spatial distribution burned area in Southern California during 1960–2009 using five different data‐driven methods: multiple linear regression, generalized additive models ( GAM s), s with autocorrelation, non‐linear multiplicative models, random forest models. used each method separately develop maps...
The black-chinned tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii is an ecologically appealing model as it shows exceptional adaptive capacities, especially with regard to salinity. In spite of this, this species devoid genomic resources, which impedes the understanding such remarkable features. De novo assembly transcript sequences produced by next-generation sequencing technologies offers a rapid approach obtain expressed gene for non-model organisms. It also facilitates development...
Many genetic changes that ultimately lead to adaptive evolution come with a short-term cost expressed in terms of reduced survival and reproduction. In the absence drift, it is unclear how such costly mutations may persist. Here we experimentally demonstrate parasites can promote persistence variants. We employed genetically engineered strain (GMMO) bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens as model acquisition new gene either through major mutation or horizontal transfer, examined its different...
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant aggravating factor in individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent for acquired syndrome (AIDS). Both Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), bacterium responsible TB, and HIV-1 target macrophages. Understanding how Mtb subverts these cells may facilitate identification of new druggable targets. Here, we explored TB can induce macrophages to form tunneling nanotubes (TNT), promoting spread. We found that...
