Key Roles of Dipterocarpaceae, Bark Type Diversity and Tree Size in Lowland Rainforests of Northeast Borneo—Using Functional Traits of Lichens to Distinguish Plots of Old Growth and Regenerating Logged Forests

Microorganisms, 2021
Many lowland rainforests in Southeast Asia are severely altered by selective logging and there is a need for rapid assessment methods to identify characteristic communities of old growth forests and to monitor restoration success in regenerating forests.

Longitudinal survey on the distribution of Biomphalaria sudanica and B. choanomophala in Mwanza region, on the shores of Lake Victoria, Tanzania: implications for schistosomiasis transmission and control

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Schistosomiasis is hyper-endemic in the Lake Victoria basin; with intestinal schistosomiasis plaguing communities adjacent to the lake, where the intermediate host snails live.

The SITE-100 Project: Site-Based Biodiversity Genomics for Species Discovery, Community Ecology, and a Global Tree-of-Life

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Most insect communities are composed of evolutionarily diverse lineages, but detailed phylogenetic analyses of whole communities are lacking, in particular in species-rich tropical faunas.

Morphological evolution and modularity of the caecilian skull

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are the least speciose extant lissamphibian order, yet living forms capture approximately 250 million years of evolution since their earliest divergences.

The genome sequence of the blue-tailed damselfly, Ischnura elegans (Vander Linden, 1820) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ischnura elegans (the blue-tailed damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence is 1,723 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.55%) is scaffolded into 14

Toward a metabolic theory of life history

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Data and theory reveal how organisms allocate metabolic energy to components of the life history that determine fitness. In each generation, animals take up biomass energy from the environment and expend it on survival, growth, and ...

History of life on Earth [PDF]

Current Biology, 2015
All of you will be familiar with those educational graphics that put into stark perspective how tiny is our place in the Universe, how on a clock that began ticking with the origin of life, humans evolved less than a minute before midnight. And the time since Current Biology began, 25 years ago, would be the merest fraction of a second.

Life‐history evolution under fluctuating density‐dependent selection and the adaptive alignment of pace‐of‐life syndromes

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018
We present a novel perspective on life‐history evolution that combines recent theoretical advances in fluctuating density‐dependent selection with the notion of pace‐of‐life syndromes (POLSs) in behavioural ecology.

Genome-wide transcriptome profiling and spatial expression analyses identify signals and switches of development in tapeworms

EvoDevo, 2018
Background Tapeworms are agents of neglected tropical diseases responsible for significant health problems and economic loss. They also exhibit adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle that confound comparisons of their development with other animals ...
