Repetitive N-WASP–binding elements of the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Effector EspFU Synergistically Activate Actin Assembly [PDF]

, 2008
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) generate F-actin–rich adhesion pedestals by delivering effector proteins into mammalian cells. These effectors include the translocated receptor Tir, along with EspFU, a protein that associates indirectly with ...

Effects of within-tree flowering asynchrony on the dynamics of seed and wasp production in an Australian fig species

, 1996
Within-tree flowering asynchrony in figs, which may allow pollinating wasps to avoid the risks of dispersal in inclement conditions, has been predicted as a trait to be favoured in highly seasonal environments.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological 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.

The Strategic Role of Sustainability Certifications: A Multi‐Theoretical Framework and Comparative Analysis in the Global Wine Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly embedded in the governance and competitiveness of the wine sector, yet their strategic role remains under‐theorised. This study conceptualises certifications as multidimensional strategic mechanisms and conducts a comparative analysis of 50 schemes used in the global wine industry.

Daily rhythm of mutualistic pollinator activity and scent emission in Ficus septica: ecological differentiation between co-occurring pollinators and potential consequences for chemical communication and facilitation of host speciation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The mutualistic interaction between Ficus and their pollinating agaonid wasps constitutes an extreme example of plant-insect co-diversification. Most Ficus species are locally associated with a single specific agaonid wasp species. Specificity is ensured

Antimicrobial Peptides and Peptidomimetics in Foods – A Synthetic Foray

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
This Review discusses AMPs in foods and their syntheses. It espouses facile methods to make them accessible and suggests their utility in the mitigation and eradication of the burgeoning maladies of antimicrobial and multidrug resistance (AMR and MDR).

FFW_DB: a dynamic integrated database for investigating the specialized mutualism of figs and fig wasps

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The mutualistic relationship between figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and their obligate pollinating fig wasps (Agaonidae, Hymenoptera) has served as a classic model for studying coevolution and coadaptation for over 150 years.

Field studies reveal a close relative of C. elegans thrives in the fresh figs of Ficus septica and disperses on its Ceratosolen pollinating wasps

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background Biotic interactions are ubiquitous and require information from ecology, evolutionary biology, and functional genetics in order to be understood. However, study systems that are amenable to investigations across such disparate fields are rare.
