Asexual Reproduction of Marine Invertebrate Embryos and Larvae

open access: yes, 2018
Developmental plasticity during the early life histories of marine invertebrates is a fascinating opportunity to study the interplay between ecology and evolution.

Habitat heterogeneity favors asexual reproduction in natural populations of grassthrips [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Explaining the overwhelming success of sex among eukaryotes is difficult given the obvious costs of sex relative to asexuality. Different studies have shown that sex can provide benefits in spatially heterogeneous environments under specific conditions ...

Detecting cryptic ghost lineage introgression in four‐taxon genomic datasets

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Hybridization and introgression are pervasive evolutionary forces that have played fundamental roles in shaping the diversity of wild and domesticated plants. Four‐taxon tests for introgression provide a reliable framework for detecting signatures of ancient introgression from genomic data, which have played an important role in ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Repurposing Drugs for Malaria through a Human Dose Prediction: A Case Study with Berzosertib

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Repurposing drugs whose clinical safety has been established offers a valuable approach to reduce the cost and time associated with the development of new drugs for malaria. Here, we investigate the potential to repurpose the anticancer kinase inhibitor berzosertib for the treatment of malaria, by assessing whether a predicted efficacious human dose ...

Climate change effects on biomass and greenhouse gas emissions are ameliorated by nontoxic endophytes in southeastern USA transition zone tall fescue pastures

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Tall fescue produces more biomass and less carbon dioxide from the soil when it contains its beneficial fungal endophyte. Increased temperatures projected with climate change reduce fescue biomass, while altered rainfall frequency does not. Altering rainfall frequency and increasing temperatures can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from soil.

The role of true viviparity in Amphibolis antarctica: implications for the genetic diversity in the context of seagrass restoration

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science
Amphibolis antarctica (Labill.) Asch. produces large, well-developed viviparous seedlings, raising a fundamental question: Are these seedlings the result of sexual or asexual reproduction?

Examining New Donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee

open access: yesJournal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do emerging donors integrate into the existing international aid architecture? While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier ...

Asexual Reproduction in Infectious Diseases

open access: yes, 2009
Parasitic organisms in the strict sense (eukaryotes) represent a significant part of the general biodiversity which has been described and, with 179 species affecting people worldwide, are of relevance for mankind in particular. Contrary to the classical view, many of these species are clonal.
