Emerging Adulthood, a Pre-adult Life-History Stage

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The duration of human maturation has been underestimated; an additional 4–6-year pre-adult period of “emerging adulthood,” should be included in models of human maturation.

The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.

Unprecedented frequency of mitochondrial introns in colonial bilaterians

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Animal mitogenomes are typically devoid of introns. Here, we report the largest number of mitochondrial introns ever recorded from bilaterian animals. Mitochondrial introns were identified for the first time from the phylum Bryozoa.

Physical processes, their life and their history [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Here, I lay the foundations of a high-level ontology of particulars whose structuring principles differ radically from the 'continuant' vs. 'occurrent' distinction traditionally adopted in applied ontology.

Systemic changes in cell size throughout the body of Drosophila melanogaster associated with mutations in molecular cell cycle regulators

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Along with different life strategies, organisms have evolved dramatic cellular composition differences. Understanding the molecular basis and fitness effects of these differences is key to elucidating the fundamental characteristics of life.

Life-history data [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Health Research & Practice, 2016
Life-history data are quantitative, retrospective and autobiographical data collected through event-history calendars. By mimicking the structure of our memories, these instruments can gather reliable information on different dimensions of the lifecourse.

Interactions between Schistosoma haematobium group species and their Bulinus spp. intermediate hosts along the Niger River Valley

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Urogenital schistosomiasis, caused by infection with Schistosoma haematobium, is endemic in Niger but complicated by the presence of Schistosoma bovis, Schistosoma curassoni and S.

Resolving the History of Life on Earth by Seeking Life As We Know It on Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
An origin of Earth life on Mars would resolve significant inconsistencies between the inferred history of life and Earth's geologic history. Life as we know it utilizes amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids for the metabolic, informational, and compartment-forming subsystems of a cell.

Crag Martin neontology complements taphonomy at the Gorham's Cave Complex

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Species present in the fossil record may continue to exist at an archaeological site, allowing study that fine-tunes our picture of the ecological past.

Diversity and Phylogeny of Novel Cord-Forming Fungi from Borneo

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Cord-forming (CF) fungi are found worldwide; however, tropical CF fungi are poorly documented. They play an essential role in forest ecosystems by interconnecting nutrient resources and aiding in the decomposition of plant matter and woody litter.
