Felsenstein's“one-allele model”of speciation: The role of philopatry in the initial stages of host plant mediated reproductive isolation in Enchenopa binotata

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2013
The study of speciation genetics is primarily concerned with identifying the genetic traits that allow divergent selection to overcome the homogenizing effects of gene flow.

Bacterial Diversification in the Light of the Interactions with Phages: The Genetic Symbionts and Their Role in Ecological Speciation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Phages have a major impact on microbial populations. In this work, we discuss how predation, transduction, lysogeny, and phage domestication lead to symbio-centric genomic interactions between bacteria and phages, ranging from antagonistic to mutualistic.

The ecological transition in speciation [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2003
SummaryEcological transitions are at the core of different modes of speciation. These transitions face both genetic and demographic hurdles. This paper focuses on how these hurdles are overcome, allowing ecological speciation and speciation via hybridization and/or polyploidy. Niche shifting is a two‐step process.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Speciation-based ecological indicators for assessing heavy metal mobility and risk in forest lake sediments

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Sediments act as long-term sinks for heavy metals in aquatic systems but may also become secondary sources of contamination when environmental conditions change.

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Mechanochemical Amidation Mediated by 1,1’‐Oxalyldiimidazole for the Synthesis of Agrochemicals

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Mechanochemical amidation using 1,1'‐oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) overcomes limitations of 1,1’‐carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) as coupling agent by enabling the efficient mechanochemical synthesis of three marketed agrochemicals from deactivated carboxylic acids.

On the processes generating latitudinal richness gradients: identifying diagnostic patterns and predictions

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2014
We use a simulation model to examine four of the most common hypotheses for the latitudinal richness gradient and identify patterns that might be diagnostic of those four hypotheses.

Ecology, sexual selection and speciation.

open access: yesEcology letters, 2011
The spectacular diversity in sexually selected traits among animal taxa has inspired the hypothesis that divergent sexual selection can drive speciation. Unfortunately, speciation biologists often consider sexual selection in isolation from natural selection, even though sexually selected traits evolve in an ecological context: both preferences and ...

Influence of Head‐to‐Tail Cyclization of Lanmodulin‐Inspired Peptides on Lanthanide Affinity and Structure

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The influence of head‐to‐tail cyclization, as well as the effect of ring expansion with an additional glycine on lanmodulin‐inspired peptides on the structure and lanthanide (Ln)‐binding behavior was investigated. While the decrease of structural flexibility can indeed increase the Ln affinity and peptide pre‐organization, it does not lead to an ...
