Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2025.Newly settled Acropora kenti corals were inoculated with native, individual probiotic candidates pre‐screened for putatively beneficial traits. Several bacterial strains persisted in the coral microbiome and induced structural changes still measurable five days after the final inoculation, with coral associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs) formed ...

Functional evidence for cone-specific connectivity in the human retina [PDF]
, 2009 NoPhysiological studies of colour vision have not yet resolved the controversial issue of how chromatic opponency is constructed at a neuronal level. Two competing theories, the cone-selective hypothesis and the random-wiring hypothesis, are currently ...

Density of states, Potts zeros, and Fisher zeros of the Q-state Potts model for continuous Q
, 2001 The Q-state Potts model can be extended to noninteger and even complex Q in the FK representation. In the FK representation the partition function,Z(Q,a), is a polynomial in Q and v=a-1(a=e^-T) and the coefficients of this polynomial,Phi(b,c), are the ...

Sexual dichromatism increases with altitude in birds with ultraviolet sensitive vision
Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 1, Page 77-88, May 2025.Previous work has shown a significant relationship between sexual dichromatism and altitude in birds, however, this work was focused on either a small subset of avian diversity or used human scoring to assess sexual dichromatism. In this study, we compared human scoring and spectrophotometry scoring to study this relationship and found no significant ...

Homological thickness and stability of torus knots
, 2006 In this paper we show that the non-alternating torus knots are homologically thick, i.e. that their Khovanov homology occupies at least three diagonals. Furthermore, we show that we can reduce the number of full twists of the torus knot without changing ...

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.Urban bird communities are more colour‐diverse after accounting for species richness. We also found that bird species that do well in urban environments are less likely to be brown and exhibit more elaborate colours, but not higher sexual dichromatism. ABSTRACT Rapidly expanding urbanisation presents significant challenges to wildlife.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 2, March 2025.Carotenoid‐based plumage color is crucial in avian mate selection, often serving as an indicator of individual quality. To determine whether carotenoid‐derived color can be a sign of individual condition and if there is a relationship between an individual's condition and color production, it is necessary to identify how carotenoids are acquired by ...

What Predicts Gene Flow During Speciation? The Relative Roles of Time, Space, Morphology and Climate
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 23, December 2024.ABSTRACT The processes that restrict gene flow between populations are fundamental to speciation. Here, we develop a simple framework for studying whether divergence in morphology, climatic niche, time and space contribute to reduced gene flow among populations and species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.Feral cats (Felis catus) have spread across Australia over the past 200 years, displaying various coat types, yet it remains unknown if any offers an adaptive advantage. Using a dataset of 24,657 camera‐trap images, we examined if any coat types correlate with spatial or temporal features.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1143-1155, November 2024.We investigated Bermuda's leafcutter bee, M. pruina, a vulnerable population confined to an 11.5 ha area with uncertain taxonomic and conservation status. Genomic data revealed that Bermuda's population may represent a unique evolutionary lineage, distinct from US M. pruina populations.
