Variation in costs of parasite resistance among natural host populations [PDF]

, 2013
Organisms that can resist parasitic infection often have lower fitness in the absence of parasites. These costs of resistance can mediate host evolution during parasite epidemics. For example, large epidemics will select for increased host resistance. In

Impact of Medium-Energy Electrons on Antarctic Stratospheric Ozone During 2013–2014 Simulated with the WACCM–SIC Model

Applied Sciences
The Antarctic stratospheric ozone plays a crucial role in the polar climate system and is strongly influenced by energetic particle precipitation. Among these processes, medium-energy electron (MEE) precipitation enhances the production of odd nitrogen ...

The Impact of Different Types of El Niño Events on the Ozone Valley of the Tibetan Plateau Based on the WACCM4 Mode

Applied Sciences
This study integrates the sea surface temperature, ozone and meteorological data of ERA5 to count the El Niño events since 1979 and has classified these events into eastern and central types in space as well as spring and summer types in time.

Harmful Microalgae Exhibit Broad Environmental Adaptability in High‐Salinity Area Across the Dafengjiang River Estuary

Ecology and Evolution
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) often occur in estuaries due to their unique environmental heterogeneity, posing significant environmental and human health risks. However, there is limited understanding of the community composition and community‐level change

Natural variation in priming of basal resistance: from evolutionary origin to agricultural exploitation

, 2010
P>Biotic stress has a major impact on the process of natural selection in plants. As plants have evolved under variable environmental conditions, they have acquired a diverse spectrum of defensive strategies against pathogens and herbivores.

Natural variation in growth and leaf ion homeostasis in response to salinity stress in Panicum hallii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soil salinity can negatively impact plants growth, development and fitness. Natural plant populations restricted to coastal environments may evolve in response to saline habitats and therefore provide insights into the process of salinity adaptation.

A micro-perspective on variation and universals [PDF]

, 2017
This paper approaches the questions raised in the workshop description surrounding universals and variation from the perspective of microvariation. Throughout this document we frequently refer to van Craenenbroeck and van Koppen (2016) (henceforth VCVK),

Natural uORF variation in plants

Trends in Plant Science
Taking advantage of natural variation promotes our understanding of phenotypic diversity and trait evolution, ultimately accelerating plant breeding, in which the identification of causal variations is critical. To date, sequence variations in the coding region and transcription level polymorphisms caused by variations in the promoter have been ...

Assessing Human Genetic Variations in Glucose Transporter SLC2A10 and Their Role in Altering Structural and Functional Properties

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Purpose: Demand is increasing for clinical genomic sequencing to provide diagnoses for patients presenting phenotypes indicative of genetic diseases, but for whom routine genetic testing failed to yield a diagnosis.
