Vaginal microbial dynamics and pathogen colonization in a humanized microbiota mouse model
Vaginal microbial composition is associated with differential risk of urogenital infection. Although Lactobacillus spp. are thought to confer protection against infection, the lack of in vivo models resembling the human vaginal microbiota remains a ...

The fate of the missing spores [PDF]
It is well-known that many species with small diaspores can disperse far during extended temporal scales (many years). However, studies on short temporal scales usually only cover short distances (in, e.g., bryophytes up to 15 m).

Genetic drift at expanding frontiers promotes gene segregation [PDF]
Competition between random genetic drift and natural selection plays a central role in evolution: Whereas non-beneficial mutations often prevail in small populations by chance, mutations that sweep through large populations typically confer a selective ...

Colony Dynamics and Persistence of Ivory Gull Breeding in Canada
Despite the importance of assessing the viability of small and endangered populations, often few demographic data are available. However, when counts are available from discrete sites, a colony- or site-based approach can be useful. We used recent counts
