Hitchhiking Parasites: Unstructured Populations of Bat Ectoparasites Reveal Host-Driven Dispersal. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding factors influencing the dynamics and distribution of parasites is essential to decipher the mechanism behind their spread and the identification of populations with elevated risks of infection. Bats—together with the diverse parasites they host and the influence of their social behaviour on parasitism—offer a suitable system.

Beyond species means - the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Reflexive differential forms on singular spaces -- Geometry and Cohomology [PDF]

, 2012
Based on a recent extension theorem for reflexive differential forms, that is, regular differential forms defined on the smooth locus of a possibly singular variety, we study the geometry and cohomology of sheaves of reflexive differentials.

In Utero Administration of Drugs Targeting Microglia Improves the Neurodevelopmental Outcome Following Cytomegalovirus Infection of the Rat Fetal Brain

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections represent one leading cause of neurodevelopmental disorders. Recently, we reported on a rat model of CMV infection of the developing brain in utero, characterized by early and prominent infection and alteration
