Pairwise interaction point processes for modelling bivariate spatial point patterns in the presence of interaction uncertainty [PDF]

, 2015
Current ecological research seeks to understand the mechanisms that sustain biodiversity and allow a large number of species to coexist. Coexistence concerns inter-individual interactions. Consequently, there is an interest in identifying and quantifying

Predation effects on mean time to extinction under demographic stochasticity

, 2012
Methods for predicting the probability and timing of a species' extinction are typically based on a combination of theoretical models and empirical data, and focus on single species population dynamics.

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

Risk-driven behaviour in the African leopard:how is leopard behaviour mediated by lion presence? [PDF]

, 2016
Agricultural expansion is restricting many carnivore species to smaller tracts of land, potentially forcing increased levels of overlap between competitors by constraining spatial partitioning.

Cheater-altruist synergy in immunopathogenic ecological public goods games

, 2017
Much research has focused on the deleterious effects of free-riding in public goods games, and a variety of mechanisms that suppresses cheating behaviour. Here we argue that under certain conditions cheating behaviour can be beneficial to the population.

Interspecific interactions among parasites in multiple infections

Trends in Parasitology
Individual hosts and populations frequently harbour multiple parasite species simultaneously. Despite their commonness, the consequences of interspecific interactions among parasites for determining infection outcomes are still poorly understood. We review and propose several expectations for multiple infections involving different species.

Artificial Intelligence Powers Protein Functional Annotation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes how artificial intelligence advances protein functional annotation. It organizes existing methods into six unified modeling paradigms and analyzes their applications in Gene Ontology and Enzyme Commission prediction.

Chemical Metabolomics: Chemical Biology Tools for Advanced Metabolism Investigations

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The human metabolism has been investigated for several millennia. The metabolome is known for a high complexity due to a large number of different metabolites that are present at different concentrations. Metabolomics has been developed as a field to investigate the entire human metabolome and to elucidate disease development mechanisms.

Chitosan‐Carbon Dot Composite Materials Form a Leaf Surface Barrier to Mitigate the Enrichment and Invasion of Nanoplastics: From Leaf Interface to Systemic Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

Case Report: Agonistic interaction between Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) and Tucuxi dolphins (Sotalia fluviatilis) in Brazil

Frontiers in Ethology
BackgroundInterspecific interactions play an important role in shaping ecological relationships, yet descriptions of social interspecific interactions in aquatic mammals remain scarce.
