The application of predictive modelling for determining bio-environmental factors affecting the distribution of blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the Gilgel Gibe watershed in Southwest Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2014 Blackflies are important macroinvertebrate groups from a public health as well as ecological point of view. Determining the biological and environmental factors favouring or inhibiting the existence of blackflies could facilitate biomonitoring of rivers ...

A randomness test for functional panels
, 2016 Functional panels are collections of functional time series, and arise often in the study of high frequency multivariate data. We develop a portmanteau style test to determine if the cross-sections of such a panel are independent and identically ...

Continental-scale patterns of pathogen prevalence: a case study on the corncrake [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogen infections can represent a substantial threat to wild populations, especially those already limited in size. To determine how much variation in the pathogens observed among fragmented populations is caused by ecological factors, one needs to ...

Ecological fitness and strategies of adaptation ofBartonellaspecies to their hosts and vectors [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2009 Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that cause characteristic hostrestricted hemotropic infections in mammals and are typically transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. In the mammalian reservoir, these bacteria initially infect a yet unrecognized primary niche, which seeds organisms into the blood stream leading to the establishment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Drought is a major cause of crop losses across agricultural regions. Rhizosheath formation enhances plant resistance to drought. Polyploids may tolerate stress more effectively through increased interactions with bacteria. However, the contributions of tetraploid rice associated microbiota to rhizosheath formation under soil drying remain unclear ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, waste fluororubbers undergo controlled oxidative degradation induced by alkali and hydrogen peroxide to yield carboxyl terminated liquid fluororubbers. Subsequently, condensation reaction system efficiently converts carboxyl groups into photoreactive vinyl groups.

Linking individual phenotype to density-dependent population growth: the influence of body size on the population dynamics of malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding the endogenous factors that drive the population dynamics of malaria mosquitoes will facilitate more accurate predictions about vector control effectiveness and our ability to destabilize the growth of either low- or high-density insect ...
