To remain or leave: Dispersal variation and its genetic consequences in benthic freshwater invertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Variation in dispersal capacity may influence population genetic variation and relatedness of freshwater animals thus demonstrating how life‐history traits influence patterns and processes that in turn influence biodiversity. The majority of studies have

Development of a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) fluorescence assay for the detection of Schistosoma haematobium

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Accurate diagnosis of urogenital schistosomiasis is vital for surveillance and control programmes. While a number of diagnostic techniques are available there is a need for simple, rapid and highly sensitive point-of-need (PON) tests in areas ...

The Life-history of Radium [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1904
EVIDENCE of a convincing nature is rapidly accumulating to the effect that helium may be produced as a result of the disintegration of the radium atom. On the other hand, it has been suggested by Rutherford and others that radium is analogous to the first products of the disintegration of uranium and thorium—to the substances known as uranium X and ...

Life History Strategies

open access: yes, 2016
Life history theory posits organisms face tradeoffs in how they allocate resources to reproduction, parenting, and growth. These patterns of resource allocation can be classified more broadly into life history strategies, which vary on a continuum from fast to slow.

Hyperthermophiles in the history of life [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006
Today, hyperthermophilic (‘superheat-loving’) bacteria and archaea are found within high-temperature environments, representing the upper temperature border of life. They grow optimally above 80°C and exhibit an upper temperature border of growth up to 113°C.

Annual changes in the Biodiversity Intactness Index in tropical and subtropical forest biomes, 2001–2012

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Few biodiversity indicators are available that reflect the state of broad-sense biodiversity—rather than of particular taxa—at fine spatial and temporal resolution.

Synthetic and Semi-Synthetic Microplastic Ingestion by Mesopelagic Fishes From Tristan da Cunha and St Helena, South Atlantic

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Mesopelagic fishes were sampled around Tristan da Cunha and St Helena in the South Atlantic from the RRS Discovery at depths down to 1000 m. Sampling was part of the Blue Belt Programme, a marine survey of British Overseas Territories funded by the ...

Holcophora Staudinger, 1871, a senior synonym of Aponoea Walsingham, 1905, syn. n., (Lepidoptera, Gelechioidea, Gelechiidae): with Holcophora inderskella (Caradja, 1920), comb. n., transferred from Blastobasis Zeller, 1855 (Blastobasidae) [PDF]

open access: yesNota Lepidopterologica, 2019
Blastobasis inderskella Caradja, 1920, is transferred from Blastobasidae to Gelechiidae and placed in the Palaearctic genus Holcophora Staudinger, 1871. The genus Aponoea Walsingham, 1905, syn.

Transcriptomic evidence for visual adaptation during the aquatic to terrestrial metamorphosis in leopard frogs

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
Background Differences in morphology, ecology, and behavior through ontogeny can result in opposing selective pressures at different life stages. Most animals, however, transition through two or more distinct phenotypic phases, which is hypothesized to ...

Genetic and life-history traits associated with the distribution of prophages in bacteria

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2016
Nearly half of the sequenced bacteria are lysogens and many of their prophages encode adaptive traits. Yet, the variables driving prophage distribution remain undetermined.
