Influence of the use of complete denture adhesives on microbial adhesion and biofilm formation by single- and mixed-species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
OBJECTIVES:To verify whether the Ultra Corega Cream and Corega Strip Denture Adhesive adhesives interfere in the microbial adhesion and biofilm formation by Candida albicans and Lactobacillus casei in single- and mixed-species settings, and observe ...

Foraging behaviour of an omnivorous bird varies in mixed-species groups

Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2022
In mixed-species groups (MSGs), individuals from different species may locate and communicate about the presence of predators and prey quickly and accurately but may compete for food and favourable positions in the flock. Thus, foraging behaviour is likely to change when individuals participate in MSGs compared with single-species groups (SSGs).

Multiple social benefits drive the formation of mixed-species groups of Australian humpback and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins [PDF]

, 2023
Mixed-species groups are common amongst diverse taxa including fishes, birds, and mammals. Antipredator, foraging, and social benefits have been proposed as functional explanations for mixed-species group formation.

Seasonal drivers of mixed-species flocks from tropical savannas: insights from the Pantanal wetland

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023
Birds participate in different types of multi-species groups (e.g., mixed-species flocks) occurring from temperate to tropical forest and also savannas.

Morph Composition Matters in the Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae): Involvement of Red-Headed Birds Increases Vigilance

Birds, 2021
Animals invest in costly vigilance to detect threats. Joining groups reduces these costs, which can be further reduced in mixed-species assemblages. In colour-polymorphic species, morphs often experience different predation pressure and vary in a variety

Coordinated hunting behaviors of mixed-species groups of piscivores and associated species at Isla del Coco National Park (Eastern Tropical Pacific)

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2019
Studies of mixed-species groups of animals can reveal emergent complexities of collective behaviors. In this study we collected data on mixed-species hunting groups composed primarily of piscivorous fishes (species composition, abundance, behavioral ...

Biodiversity–productivity relationships in small-scale mixed-species plantations using native species in Leyte province, Philippines [PDF]

, 2012
In this study, we investigate the relationship between tree species diversity and production in 18 mixed-species plantations established under the Rainforestation Farming system in Leyte province, the Philippines.

Integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery and Machine Learning Technology to Map the Distribution of Conifer and Broadleaf Canopy Cover in Uneven-Aged Mixed Forests

Drones, 2023
Uneven-aged mixed forests have been recognized as important contributors to biodiversity conservation, ecological stability, carbon sequestration, the provisioning of ecosystem services, and sustainable timber production.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Predator Eavesdropping in a Mixed-Species Environment: How Prey Species May Use Grouping, Confusion, and the Cocktail Party Effect to Reduce Predator Detection

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The field of predator eavesdropping concentrates on the detection by a predator or parasite of signals that prey direct at conspecifics, and the subsequent evolution by prey to avoid or lessen such detection.
