Ten outcomes to improve informatics interoperability in cyber/e-Infrastructures for biodiversity and ecological sciences : (through the use case of Essential Biodiversity Variables) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Data products for Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) must be (re-)producible and comparable for any geographic area, small or large, fine-grained or coarse; at temporal scale determined by need and/or the frequency of available observations; at a ...

Advanced MXene‐Based Multifunctional Nanoarchitecture Materials Engineered for Adsorptive Cleanup of Hazardous Radioactive Pollutants: A Comprehensive Critical Review

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work critically reviews MXenes as highly effective multifunctional nanomaterials for the adsorption of radio‐contaminants, demonstrating a remarkable adsorption capacity of up to 1376.75 mg/g and cyclic stability of 2–8 cycles, with complexation, electrostatic interactions, and the numerical strength of MXene active sites playing a key operational

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

Overall and site-specific response of the macroinvertebrate community of Swan Coastal Plain Wetlands (West Australia) to water quality gradients revealed by GF and HEA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Swan Coastal Plain is situated along the Western Australian seaboard and accommodates a large number of permanently, seasonally and episodically flooded wetlands. Many of these wetlands are affected by eutrophication and hydrological changes.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
