Plasmid carriage can limit bacteria - phage coevolution [PDF]

, 2015
Coevolution with bacteriophages is a major selective force shaping bacterial populations and communities. A variety of both environmental and genetic factors has been shown to influence the mode and tempo of bacteria-phage coevolution.

How National Security Drives the Coevolution of International Relations and International Business Policy: Evidence From the Belt and Road Initiative

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this study investigates how national security drives the coevolution of China's political risk management support for multinationals and competing countries' reactions. A competing country is a nation‐state that is neither the home nor host country of a multinational but perceives the ...

Heavy iron isotopes in arc rocks reveal anoxic sediment recycling in subduction zones

Communications Earth & Environment
The formation mechanism of arc mafic rocks with heavy iron isotope signature remains enigmatic. Here we report Fe-Mo-Sr-Nd-Hf isotope data of arc rocks from Northeast China. The studied arc rocks have δ56Fe values (0.08‰ to 0.23‰) comparable to or higher

Acoustic Mimicry of Begging Calls and Its Geographical Differentiation in Nestling Common Cuckoos Toward Oriental Reed Warblers 大杜鹃雏鸟对东方大苇莺乞食鸣叫声的声学模仿及其地理分化

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Common cuckoo nestlings from different populations show varying degrees of mimicry of warbler begging calls, with the Yongnianwa population being the most accurate and the Zhalong population the least. Overall, these cuckoos employ a dual strategy: they conservatively mimic the high‐frequency components of host calls while adaptively adjusting their ...

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Considering Landslide Spatial Aggregation Using the Dual-Frequency Ratio Method: A Case Study on the Middle Reaches of the Tarim River Basin

Remote Sensing
The phenomenon of landslide spatial aggregation is widespread in nature, which can affect the result of landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP). In order to eliminate the uncertainty caused by landslide spatial aggregation in an LSP study, researchers ...

The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Zinc isotopes record lunar magmatic outgassing and surface processes in different Chang’e-5 samples

Communications Earth & Environment
The Moon is depleted in moderately volatile elements compared with Earth, likely due to high-temperature processes during its formation. How this depletion evolved and the role of later surface processes remain unclear. Here we report high-precision zinc

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

Paired magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of young volcanism in Iceland and Tengchong, China

Scientific Data
Two recent Quaternary volcanic provinces in Iceland and Tengchong, China were investigated with magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry. Despite their similar age, the two volcanic systems have different tectono–magmatic settings (influencing primary ...

Three-Dimensional Deformation Field Inversion Based on Fused Monitoring Data of GNSS and InSAR: A Case Study of Jinchuan No. 2 Mining Area

Remote Sensing
Surface rock movement can lead to geological or environmental problems such as surface subsidence, ground fissure development, and deformation of engineering structures, and its evolution process exhibits significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity ...
