Catastrophes after crossing species barriers [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 Probably the most tragic examples of virus infections that have caused the deaths of many millions of people in the past century were the influenza and AIDS pandemics. These events occurred as a direct result of the introduction of animal viruses into the human population. Similarly, mass mortalities among aquatic and terrestrial mammals were caused by

Cross-species transmission of CWD prions [PDF]
Prion, 2016 Prions cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals and can be transmitted zoonotically. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly transmissible prion disease of wild deer and elk that affects cervids over extensive regions of the United States and Canada. The risk of cross-species CWD transmission has been experimentally evaluated in a

Properties of the Abelian Projection Fields in $SU(N)$ Lattice Gluodynamics
, 1993 't~Hooft's abelian projection of $SU(N)$ gauge theory yields $N$ mutually constrained, compact abelian fields which are permutationally equivalent. We formulate the notion of ``species permutation'' symmetry of the $N$ abelian projection fields and ...

Cross–species familiarity in shoaling fishes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Preferential association with familiar shoal mates confers a number of potentially important benefits to individuals, including improved anti-predator effects and the reduction of aggression in competitive interactions. Until now, however, familiarity has been demonstrated purely between conspecifics.

Essential genes: a cross-species perspective
Mammalian Genome, 2023 AbstractProtein coding genes exhibit different degrees of intolerance to loss-of-function variation. The most intolerant genes, whose function is essential for cell or/and organism survival, inform on fundamental biological processes related to cell proliferation and organism development and provide a window on the molecular mechanisms of human disease.

A cross-species view on viruses [PDF]
Current Opinion in Virology, 2012 We describe the creative ways that virologists are leveraging experimental cross-species infections to study the interactions between viruses and hosts. While viruses are usually well adapted to their hosts, cross-species approaches involve pairing viruses with species that they do not naturally infect.

Hierarchical encoding of natural sound mixtures in ferret auditory cortex
eLifeExtracting relevant auditory signals from complex natural scenes is a fundamental challenge for the auditory system. Sounds from multiple sources overlap in time and frequency.
