Continued advancements in sequencing technologies have fueled the development of new applications and promise to flood current databases with raw data. A number factors prevent seamless easy use these data, including breadth project goals, wide array tools that individually perform fractions any given analysis, large associated software/hardware dependencies, detailed expertise required analyses. To address issues, we developed an intuitive web-based environment a assortment integrated...
Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients associated with the of clines 47% throughout world. Variation strength was explained changes drought stress and vegetation cover varied...
Summary Floral scent is a crucial trait for pollinator attraction. Yet only handful of studies have estimated selection on in natural populations and no study has quantified the relative importance pollinators other agents selection. In fragrant orchid Gymnadenia conopsea , we used electroantennographic data to identify floral compounds detected by local pollinator‐mediated emission rates 10 target as well flowering start, visual display spur length. Nocturnal contributed more reproductive...
Floral scent is considered an integral component of pollination syndromes, and its composition timing emission are thus expected to match the main pollinator type time activity. While floral differences among plant species with different systems can be striking, studies on intraspecific variation sparse, which limits our understanding role pollinators in driving divergence.Here, we used dynamic headspace sampling quantify during day at night natural habitat six Scandinavian populations...
BackgroundUnderstanding the biological roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a an active area research that has produced surge publications in PubMed, particularly cancer research. Along with this increasing interest, many open-source bioinformatics tools to identify existing and/or discover novel miRNAs next-generation sequencing (NGS) reads become available. While miRNA identification and discovery are significantly improved, development differential expression analysis tools, especially temporal...
When disturbed, diurnally active species of tiger beetles flew from the forest floor, where they foraged, to temporary perches in vegetation. The height these was correlated with size species. At night, roosted for 10-12 hours at same as their daytime perches. Some congregated nocturnally on communal roosts 2-9 individuals during early rainy season. Species sandy edges rivers grass blades night. 10 were removed one a time and placed ground, four captured ingested within two minutes by large...

Infection is a rare cause of panhypopituitarism and has not been reported in the context Lemierre's syndrome. We present case previously well 19-year-old man, who presented acutely unwell with meningitis sepsis. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from peripheral blood cultures identified on cerebrospinal fluid 16S rDNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Imaging demonstrated internal jugular vein thrombosis subsequent cavernous venous sinus thrombosis. Pituitary function tests were...
