Casanovas are liars : behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]
, 2013 Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...

A systematic review of context bias in invasion biology.
PLoS ONE, 2017 The language that scientists use to frame biological invasions may reveal inherent bias-including how data are interpreted. A frequent critique of invasion biology is the use of value-laden language that may indicate context bias.

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022 Production of heterologous proteins, especially biopharmaceuticals and industrial enzymes, in living cell factories consumes cellular resources. Such resources are reallocated from normal cellular processes toward production of the heterologous protein ...

New Conditional Symmetries and Exact Solutions of the Diffusive Two-Component Lotka–Volterra System
Mathematics, 2021 The diffusive Lotka–Volterra system arising in an enormous number of mathematical models in biology, physics, ecology, chemistry and society is under study. New Q-conditional (nonclassical) symmetries are derived and applied to search for exact solutions

Soil microbes alter plant fitness under competition and drought
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Plants exist across varying biotic and abiotic environments, including variation in the composition of soil microbial communities. The ecological effects of soil microbes on plant communities are well known, whereas less is known about their importance ...

Ethical framework on risk governance of synthetic biology
Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity, 2023 Synthetic biology is an emerging multidisciplinary field that aims to design and construct new biological systems not found in nature. Whereas synthetic biology may yield tremendous benefits, it may also pose substantial risks to human health and the ...

Kin Selection in the RNA World
Life, 2017 Various steps in the RNA world required cooperation. Why did life’s first inhabitants, from polymerases to synthetases, cooperate? We develop kin selection models of the RNA world to answer these questions.

LAG3’s Enigmatic Mechanism of Action
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 LAG3 is an important immune checkpoint with relevance in cancer, infectious disease and autoimmunity. However, despite LAG3’s role in immune exhaustion and the great potential of LAG3 inhibition as treatment, much remains unknown about its biology ...

Quantitative analysis of competition in post-transcriptional regulation reveals a novel signature in target expression variation [PDF]
, 2013 When small RNAs are loaded onto Argonaute proteins they can form the RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs), which mediate RNA interference. RISC-formation is dependent on a shared pool of Argonaute proteins and RISC loading factors, and is thus ...

Climate cooling and clade competition likely drove the decline of lamniform sharks
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Many lineages increase in diversity through time, and some of them eventually decline and get replaced. The causes of such diversity decline remain elusive and are especially difficult to understand over a long-time scale and global ...
