Small RNA populations for two unrelated viruses exhibit different biases in strand polarity and proximity to terminal sequences in the insect host Homalodisca vitripennis [PDF]
Next generation sequence analyses were used to assess virus-derived small RNA (vsRNA) profiles for Homalodisca coagulata virus-1 (HoCV-1), family Dicistroviridae, and Homalodisca vitripennis reovirus (HoVRV), family Reoviridae, from virus-infected H ...

State Integration and Violence at the Margins: The Logic of Police Raids in Rio de Janeiro's Favelas
ABSTRACT This paper investigates police raids in Rio de Janeiro's favelas through a property rights framework, exploring their organisational structure, motivations and implications. Using data from police reports, academic studies, NGOs and news sources, it examines why and how the state intervenes in these contested spaces.

Biological invasions in agricultural settings: insights from evolutionary biology and population genetics [PDF]
Invasion biology and agriculture are intimately related for several reasons and in particular because many agricultural pest species are recent invaders. In this article we suggest that the reconstruction of invasion routes with population genetics-based

Mathematical modeling of Glassy-winged sharpshooter population
Pierce's disease (PD) is a fatal disease of grapevines which results from an infection by the plant pathogen Xyllela fastidiosa. This bacterium grows in the xylem (water-conducting) vessels of the plant blocking movement of water. PD can kill vines in one year and poses a serious threat to both the California and the expanding Texas wine industries ...
