Life-History traits and the replicator equation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Due to the relevance for conservation biology, there is an increasing interest to extend evolutionary genomics models to plant, animal or microbial species. However, this requires to understand the effect of life-history traits absent in humans on genomic evolution. In this context, it is fundamentally of interest to generalize the replicator equation,

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Predicting life history parameters for all fishes worldwide.

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2017
Scientists and resource managers need to know life history parameters (e.g., average mortality rate, individual growth rate, maximum length or mass, and timing of maturity) to understand and respond to risks to natural populations and ecosystems.

The Deep History of Life [PDF]

open access: yesThe Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection, 2012
The conventional fossil record is built of hard parts—bones, shells, and decay-resistant organic tissues buried in the sediments that accumulate on floodplains, in lakes, and on the seafloor. In the 1950s, geologists first began the routine application of radioactive decay to problems of geologic age.
