Developmental and environmental regulation of Aquaporin gene expression across Populus species: divergence or redundancy? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channels belonging to the major intrinsic proteins family and are known for their ability to facilitate water movement. While in Populus trichocarpa, AQP proteins form a large family encompassing fifty-five genes, most of ...

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding for Simultaneous Monitoring and Ecological Assessment of Many Harmful Algae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Harmful algae can have profound economic, environmental, and social consequences. As the timing, frequency, and severity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) change alongside global climate, efficient tools to monitor and understand the current ecological ...

Multispecies Niche Overlap: Moving Beyond Pairwise Metrics to Understand Community-Wide Similarities in Resource Use. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Measures of niche overlap are important tools in various ecological and evolutionary studies. Here we create and apply a multispecies overlap metric to both simulated and empirical communities, illustrating how this methodology may capture interactions and structure of niche space in ways that traditional, pairwise metrics overlook.

Modifying Saccharomyces cerevisiae Adhesion Properties Regulates Yeast Ecosystem Dynamics

mSphere, 2018
Physical contact between yeast species, in addition to better-understood and reported metabolic interactions, has recently been proposed to significantly impact the relative fitness of these species in cocultures.

Multispecies Analysis of Expression Pattern Diversification in the Recently Expanded Insect Ly6 Gene Family [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2015
Gene families often consist of members with diverse expression domains reflecting their functions in a wide variety of tissues. However, how the expression of individual members, and thus their tissue-specific functions, diversified during the course of gene family expansion is not well understood. In this study, we approached this question through the

A multispecies outbreak of carbapenem-resistant bacteria harboring the bla KPC gene in a non-classical transposon element

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most frequent KPC-producing bacteria. The bla KPC gene is frequently embedded in Tn4401 transposon, and less frequently in non-Tn4401 elements (NTEKPC) variants I-III.

Quorum Sensing and Antimicrobial Production Orchestrate Biofilm Dynamics in Multispecies Bacterial Communities

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Microbial interactions are often mediated by diffusible small molecules, including secondary metabolites, that play roles in cell-to-cell signaling and inhibition of competitors.
