Disruptive coloration provides camouflage independent of background matching [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 Natural selection shapes the evolution of anti-predator defences, such as camouflage. It is currently contentious whether crypsis and disruptive coloration are alternative mechanisms of camouflage or whether they are interrelated anti-predator defences. Disruptively coloured prey is characterized by highly contrasting patterns to conceal the body shape,

Putting Context into Schema Matching [PDF]
, 2006 Attribute-level schema matching has proven to be an important first step in developing mappings for data exchange, integration, restructuring and schema evolution. In this paper we investigate contextual schema matching, in which selection conditions are

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Effects of Pinglu Canal Construction on Camouflage in Two Sesarmid Crab Species
BiologyCanal construction activities alter the visual characteristics of natural habitats, which in turn impairs the camouflage effectiveness of resident animals.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Ecology and EvolutionBackground matching, an important form of camouflage, can be challenging for animals that range across heterogeneously colored habitats. To remain cryptic in such habitats, animals may employ color change, background choice, or generalist coloration, and

Marker-free Automatic Matching of Range Data [PDF]
, 2005 Matching of multiple views is often addressed in 3D-model generation and is normally a two-stage process consisting of a coarse and a fine matching stage.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Application of a Beaufort Scale-Based Mimetic System in Camouflage Garment Design
InventionsCamouflage design for jungle environments has conventionally relied on the static optimization of color, texture, and edge features, presuming that the background remains visually stable.
