Long-Term Coexistence of Rotifer Cryptic Species

PLoS ONE, 2011
Despite their high morphological similarity, cryptic species often coexist in aquatic habitats presenting a challenge in the framework of niche differentiation theory and coexistence mechanisms. Here we use a rotifer species complex inhabiting highly unpredictable and fluctuating salt lakes to gain insights into the mechanisms involved in stable ...

Salinity effects on competition between cryptic species of the nematode Rhabditis (Pellioditis) marina [PDF]

, 2010
Behind the morphological similarity of many species, a substantial hidden genetic diversity can be found. This cryptic diversity has been well documented in the marine nematode, Rhabditis (Pellioditis) marina, where several cryptic species occur ...

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Postcopulatory sexual selection [PDF]

, 2002
The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual selection fosters inter-sexual conflict and drives rapid evolutionary change to ...

A Revised Model for Muscarine Biosynthesis Involving Lysine Trimethylation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The fatal mushroom toxin l‐(+)‐muscarine is one of the most prominent natural products. We elucidated its biosynthetic origin in the sweating mushroom Collybia rivulosa based on incorporation of stable isotope‐labeled compounds and extensive mass spectrometric analyses.

Myosides seriehispidus Roelofs : an Asian weevil new to the United States (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) [PDF]

, 2000
Myosides seriehispidus Roelofs, a small cryptic broadnosed weevil from Japan, is reported as established in the eastern U.S. since at least 1973. This nocturnal weevil has been collected most often from leaflitter using berleses.
