Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Phylogenetic relatedness of Erebia medusa and E. epipsodea (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) confirmed

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
The extensive genus Erebia is divided into several groups of species according to phylogenetic relatedness. The species Erebia medusa was assigned to the medusa group and E. epipsodea to the alberganus group.

Genome sequence of Bifidobacterium moukalabense DSM 27321 highlights closest phylogenetic relatedness with Bifidobacterium dentium taxon

, 2014
Bifidobacterium moukalabense DSM 27321 is the reference strain for a recently described new bifidobacterial species that has been isolated from a wild west lowland gorilla. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of DSM 27321, which supports very close

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Geographic patterns and ecological causes of phylogenetic structure in mosses along an elevational gradient in the central Himalaya

Plant Diversity
Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving species assembly along elevational gradients is of great interest in ecology and biogeography. The Himalaya is one of the world’s hotspots of biodiversity, and the elevational gradient of the central ...

Data from: Functional dissimilarity, not phylogenetic relatedness, determines interspecific interactions among plants in the Tibetan alpine meadows

, 2016
The hypotheses suggesting that the nature and strength of species interactions should be determined by phylogenetic relatedness have important implications for the understanding of community structure.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Text Relatedness using Word and Phrase Relatedness

, 2014
Text is composed of words and phrases. In bag-of-word model (BoW), phrases in texts are split into words that might lose the inner semantics of the phrases, can give inconsistent relatedness score between two texts.

Phylogenetic relatedness and plant invader success across two spatial scales

, 2009
Aim Successful invaders often possess similar ecological traits that contribute to success in new regions, and thus under niche conservatism, invader success should be phylogenetically clustered.

Microbiome Insights Into Zoonotic Risk at Wildlife–Human Interfaces in a Transitioning Landscape in Thailand

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study shows how ecological transitions, such as reforestation in Southeast Asia, reshape host–microbe–pathogen dynamics at the wildlife–domestic interface. By integrating long‐read microbiome sequencing, ecological gradients, and statistical and network analysis, we identify host species that disproportionately contribute to pathogen diversity and
