Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

A challenge for a male noctuid moth? Discerning the female sex pheromone against the background of plant volatiles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
Finding a partner is an essential task for members of all species. Like many insects, females of the noctuid moth Heliothis virescens release chemical cues consisting of a species-specific pheromone blend to attract conspecific males.

Mating Disruption for Managing the Honeydew Moth, Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Millière), in Mediterranean Vineyards

open access: yesInsects, 2021
The demand for a reduced use of pesticides in agriculture requires the development of specific strategies for managing arthropod pests. Among eco-friendly pest control tools, pheromone-based mating disruption (MD) is promising for controlling several key

New Synthesis—Systems Chemical Ecology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Ecology, 2011
Secondary metabolites are enigmatic in terms of costs and benefits for their producers and how their ontogenetic accumulation or timely induction affects the evolution of single species and co-evolution of interacting species. More than 50 years ago, Gottfried Fraenkel dispelled the notion of secondary metabolites as waste products: “Thus, the animal ...

Chemical Ecology of Marine Cyanobacterial Secondary Metabolites: a Mini-review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
More than 300 nitrogen-containing secondary metabolites have been reported from the procaryotic marinecyanobacteria. A majority of these compounds are of the polypeptide or mixed polyketide-polypeptidestructural class and they are a potential source of ...

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Neuronal processing of complex mixtures establishes a unique odor representation in the moth antennal lobe

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2011
Animals typically perceive natural odor cues in their olfactory environment as a complex mixture of chemically diverse components. In insects, the initial representation of an odor mixture occurs in the first olfactory center of the brain, the antennal ...

A Systematic Review of the Behavioral Responses by Stored-Product Arthropods to Individual or Blends of Microbially Produced Volatile Cues

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Microbes are ubiquitous and play important ecological roles in a variety of habitats. While research has been largely focused on arthropods and microbes separately in the post-harvest supply chain, less attention has been paid to their interactions with ...

Freezing and chemical preservatives alter the stable isotope values of carbon and nitrogen of the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We tested the impacts of most common sample preservation methods used for aquatic sample materials on the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in clams, a typical baseline indicator organism for many aquatic food web studies utilising stable ...

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...
