Steinernema australe Enhanced Its Efficacy against Aegorhinus nodipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae in Berry Orchards after an Artificial Selection Process

Agronomy, 2022
The entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Steinernema australe was isolated from Isla Santa Magdalena in Chile and identified as a good alternative for controlling Aegorhinus nodipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) larvae.

Transcriptomics Analysis and Re-sequencing Reveal the Mechanism Underlying the Thermotolerance of an Artificial Selection Population of the Pacific Oyster

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
The Pacific oyster is a globally important aquaculture species inhabiting the intertidal environment, which experiences great temperature variation. Mass deaths in the summer pose a major challenge for the oyster industry.

An artificial sodium-selective subnanochannel

Science Advances, 2023
Single-ion selectivity with high precision has long been pursued for fundamental bioinspired engineering and applications such as in ion separation and energy conversion. However, it remains a challenge to develop artificial ion channels to achieve single-ion selectivity comparable to their biological analogs, especially for high Na

Isogroup Selection to Optimize Biocontrol Increases Cannibalism in Omnivorous (Zoophytophagous) Bugs

Insects, 2017
Zoophytophagous insects can substitute animals for plant resources when prey is scarce. Many arthropods feed on conspecifics to survive in these conditions.

Selfishness versus functional cooperation in a stochastic protocell model [PDF]

, 2010
How to design an "evolvable" artificial system capable to increase in complexity? Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection obviously offers a firm foundation, little hope of success seems to be expected from the explanatory adequacy of ...

Investigating the role of genetic variation in vgll3 and six6 in the domestication of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax Linnaeus)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Gene function conservation is crucial in molecular ecology, especially for key traits like growth and maturation in teleost fish. The vgll3 and six6 genes are known to influence age‐at‐maturity in Atlantic salmon, but their impact on other fish species ...

Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

The effectiveness of artificial microbial community selection: a conceptual framework and a meta-analysis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The potential for artificial selection at the community level to improve ecosystem functions has received much attention in applied microbiology. However, we do not yet understand what conditions in general allow for successful artificial community ...

Artificial and Unconscious Selection in Nietzsche’s Genealogy: Expectorating the Poisoned Pill of the Lamarckian Reading

Genealogy, 2019
I examine three kinds of criticism directed at philosophical genealogy. I call these substantive, performative, and semantic. I turn my attention to a particular substantive criticism that one may launch against essay two of On the Genealogy of Morals ...
