A new bycatch reduction device, termed "Excluder", is presented as an alternative to a traditional rigid sorting grid, mandatory in the small-meshed Norway Pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) trawl fishery in the North Sea.

Sorting mtDNA Species—the Role of nDNA-mtDNA Co-evolution [PDF]
The segregation of heteroplasmic mtDNA species was thought to be mostly stochastic. However, recent findings, including a study by Latorre-Pellicer et al. (2019) published in this issue of Cell Metabolism, provide evidence that nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA interactions play an important role in the sorting process.

Species sorting along a subsidy gradient alters community stability [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe movement of resources between terrestrial and aquatic habitats has strong effects on ecological processes in recipient ecosystems. Allochthonous inputs modify the quality and quantity of the available resource pool in ways that may alter the composition and stability of recipient communities.

Background There is a growing interest in using gut commensal bacteria as “next generation” probiotics. However, this approach is still hampered by the fact that there are few or no strains available for specific species that are difficult to cultivate ...

Species sorting along a subsidy gradient alters bacterial community stability
Abstract The movement of resources between terrestrial and aquatic habitats has strong effects on ecological processes in recipient ecosystems. Allochthonous inputs modify the quality and quantity of the available resource pool in ways that may alter the composition and stability of recipient communities.

Protist diversity and community assembly in surface sediments of the South China Sea
Protists are pivotal components of marine ecosystems in terms of their high diversity, but protist communities have been poorly explored in benthic environments.

A new class of highly efficient exact stochastic simulation algorithms for chemical reaction networks [PDF]
We introduce an alternative formulation of the exact stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) for sampling trajectories of the chemical master equation for a well-stirred system of coupled chemical reactions.

Background: Coastal dunes are dynamic ecosystems, with vegetation seen as a key element in the response to a continuously changing environment.Aims: We explored co-occurrence patterns of plant species within dune ecosystems along a regional climatic and a local sea–inland gradient.Methods: Five habitat types were surveyed along a sea–inland transect at

Inferring duplications, losses, transfers and incomplete lineage sorting with nonbinary species trees [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Gene duplication (D), transfer (T), loss (L) and incomplete lineage sorting (I) are crucial to the evolution of gene families and the emergence of novel functions. The history of these events can be inferred via comparison of gene and species trees, a process called reconciliation, yet current reconciliation ...
