Frugivores and cheap fruits make fruiting fruitful [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2014 AbstractAnimal seed dispersal provides an important ecosystem service by strongly benefiting plant communities. There are several theoretical studies on the ecology of plant–animal seed–disperser interactions, but few studies have explored the evolution of this mutualism.

Trace elements and C and N isotope composition in two mushroom species from a mine-spill contaminated site [PDF]
, 2020 Fungi play a key role in the functioning of soil in terrestrial ecosystems, and in particular in the remediation of degraded soils. The contribution of fungi to carbon and nutrient cycles, along with their capability to mobilise soil trace elements, is

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]
, 2021 To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

Species richness, abundance and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot [PDF]
, 2001 Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m2 from 1975¿99 (excluding 1980¿83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a weekly basis.

Mycotoxins in Fruits, Fruit Juices, and Dried Fruits
Journal of Food Protection, 2003 This review gives an overview of the presence of mycotoxins in fruits. Although several mycotoxins occur in nature, very few (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, patulin, Alternaria toxins) are regularly found in fruits. It has been shown that the presence of fungi on fruits is not necessarily associated with mycotoxin contamination.

DNA builds and strengthens the extracellular matrix in Myxococcus xanthus biofilms by interacting with exopolysaccharides. [PDF]
, 2012 One intriguing discovery in modern microbiology is the extensive presence of extracellular DNA (eDNA) within biofilms of various bacterial species. Although several biological functions have been suggested for eDNA, including involvement in biofilm ...

Fate and regulation of anterior-like cells in Dictyostelium slugs [PDF]
, 1982 A pattern of two tissue types exists in the Dictyostelium slug. Contained within the posterior tissue are anterior-like cells which comprise about 10% of the developing cell mass.
