Vegetation of prairie dog colonies and non-colonized shortgrass prairie [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2002
Black-tailed prairie dogs have declined by 98% in the past century. Due to continued declines, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the species as a candidate for listing in 2000. Prairie dogs foster both plant and animal diversity, and their continued presence is a concern in the Great Plains. We compared vegetation structure and composition

Antimicrobial control and temporal dynamics of M. plutonius colonization in adult worker honey bees (Apis mellifera). [PDF]

PLoS ONE
European foulbrood (EFB) is a stress-associated brood disease affecting honey bee larvae, caused by infection with Melissococcus plutonius. Adult bees are suggested to be a reservoir for this bacterium; however, the duration of M.

Impact of golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) colonization on bacterial communities and potential risk to water quality

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Mussel colonization can affect the water quality through restructuring nearby bacterial communities. In this study, we conducted an experiment to detect the bacterial alteration associated with live and dead golden mussel colonies, and used a high ...

Phenotypic Heterogeneity and the Evolution of Bacterial Life Cycles. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2016
Most bacteria live in colonies, where they often express different cell types. The ecological significance of these cell types and their evolutionary origin are often unknown. Here, we study the evolution of cell differentiation in the context of surface

Widespread demographic explosion of a non-indigenous hydrozoan on an oceanic island

Scientia Marina, 2020
The arrival of non-indigenous species into new areas is one of the main processes altering the oceans globally. Macrorhynchia philippina is a large-sized colonial hydrozoan of an invasive nature.

Description of the Colonization of a Gnotobiotic Tomato Rhizosphere by Pseudomonas fluorescens Biocontrol Strain WCS365, Using Scanning Electron Microscopy

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
To study colonization of the tomato root system, we previously have described a gnotobiotic quartz sand system, in which seedlings inoculated with one or two bacterial strains were allowed to grow.

Fine-scale habitat heterogeneity favours the coexistence of supergene-controlled social forms in Formica selysi

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Social insects vary widely in social organization, yet the genetical and ecological factors influencing this variation remain poorly known. In particular, whether spatially varying selection influences the maintenance of social polymorphisms ...
