Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Investigating Co-occurrence among Look-alike Species: The Case of Three Bears in Northeast India

Diversity, 2022
At the most basic level, the assessment of a species’ status involves knowing where it occurs. Determining the presence of rare species is difficult, and can be further confounded by the presence of a more common look-alike species.

Brede brakwaterpissebed - Synidotea laticauda. Niet-inheemse soorten van het Belgisch deel van de Noordzee en aanpalende estuaria [PDF]

, 2011
De brede brakwaterpissebed Synidotea laticauda kwam oorspronkelijk enkel voor in ondiep brak water langs de westkust van de Verenigde Staten. Het is een omnivoor die vooral te vinden is op harde substraten zoals boeien, pontons en oesterbedden.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Japanse dansmug - Telmatogeton japonicus. Niet-inheemse soorten van het Belgisch deel van de Noordzee en aanpalende estuaria [PDF]

, 2011
De Japanse dansmug Telmatogeton japonicus was oorspronkelijk enkel bekend van de Japanse kusten en Hawaï. Internationale scheepvaart is er waarschijnlijk voor verantwoordelijk dat deze soort zich heeft uitgebreid naar het Europese en het Atlantisch ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

UAV telephotography elucidates floristic variability and beta diversity of island cliffs under grazing interventions

Scientific Reports
Cliffs contain one of the least known plant communities, which has been overlooked in biodiversity assessments due to the inherent inaccessibility.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make
