On the origin of the mitochondrial genetic code: Towards a unified mathematical framework for the management of genetic information [PDF]
, 2012 The origin of the genetic code represents one of the most challenging problems in molecular evolution. The genetic code is an important universal feature of extant organisms and indicates a common ancestry of different forms of life on earth.

More than just meat: Carcass decomposition shapes trophic identities in a terrestrial vertebrate
Functional Ecology, 2022 Abstract Most food web models fail to account for the full complexity of interactions within a community, particularly where microbes are involved. Carcasses are microbe‐rich resources and may represent a common nexus for the macrobiome and microbiome, effectively uniting autotrophs, consumers, predators and microbiota.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Vertebrate decomposition processes have important ecological implications and, in the case of human decomposition, forensic applications. Animals, especially domestic pigs (Sus scrofa), are frequently used as human analogs in forensic decomposition ...

Is there an integrative center in the vertebrate brain-stem? A robotic evaluation of a model of the reticular formation viewed as an action selection device [PDF]
, 2005 Neurobehavioral data from intact, decerebrate, and neonatal rats, suggests that the reticular formation provides a brainstem substrate for action selection in the vertebrate central nervous system.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Whole‐body elemental composition is a key trait for determining how organisms influence their ecosystems. Using mass‐balance, ecological stoichiometry predicts that animals with higher concentrations of element X will selectively retain more X and will ...

Carcasses at Fixed Locations Host a Higher Diversity of Necrophilous Beetles
Insects, 2021 In contrast to other necromass, such as leaves, deadwood, or dung, the drivers of insect biodiversity on carcasses are still incompletely understood.

Vertices with the Second Neighborhood Property in Eulerian Digraphs
, 2014 The Second Neighborhood Conjecture states that every simple digraph has a vertex whose second out-neighborhood is at least as large as its first out-neighborhood, i.e. a vertex with the Second Neighborhood Property.

Are yellow dung flies domesticated cow dung specialists? [PDF]
Alpine Entomology, 2023 The theory of niche differentiation implies some extent of specialization of species with regard to key resources, notably food. Coprophagous (dung-eating) insect larvae play a critical role in the decomposition of livestock dung in modern and ...
