Insights Into a Chlamydia pneumoniae-Specific Gene Cluster of Membrane Binding Proteins
Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract and is linked to a number of severe and chronic conditions. Here, we describe a large, C.

Interspecies Variations in Clinical Envenoming Effects of Viper Snakes Evolutionized in a Common Habitat: A Comparative Study on Echis carinatus sochureki and Macrovipera lebetina obtusa Victims in Iran [PDF]
Background: Despite sharing common evolutionary features, Viperidae species including Echis carinatus and Macrovipera lebetina possess venoms with different proportions of toxic agents, thereby causing clinical effects with potentially variable severity.

Competition of alliances in a cyclically dominant eight-species population [PDF]
In a diverse population, where many species are present, competitors can fight for surviving at individual and collective levels. In particular, species, which would beat each other individually, may form a specific alliance that ensures them stable coexistence against the invasion of an external species. Our principal goal is to identify those general

Self-organizing patterns maintained by competing associations in a six-species predator-prey model [PDF]
Formation and competition of associations are studied in a six-species ecological model where each species has two predators and two prey. Each site of a square lattice is occupied by an individual belonging to one of the six species. The evolution of the spatial distribution of species is governed by iterated invasions between the neighboring predator-

Reentrant condensation transition in a two species driven diffusive system [PDF]
We study an interacting box-particle system on a one-dimensional periodic ring involving two species of particles $A$ and $B$. In this model, from a randomly chosen site, a particle of species $A$ can hop to its right neighbor with a rate that depends on the number of particles of the species $B$ at that site. On the other hand, particles of species $B$

Multi-species count transformation models [PDF]
By extending single-species distribution models, multi-species distribution models and joint species distribution models are able to describe the relationship between environmental variables and a community of species. It is also possible to model either the marginal distribution of each species (multi-species models) in the community or their joint ...
