Salmon and other anadromous fish are consumed by vertebrates with distinct
life history strategies to capitalize on this ephemeral pulse of resource availability.
Depending on the timing of salmon arrival, this resource may be in surplus to
the needs of vertebrate consumers if, for instance, their populations are limited
by...

To initiate the defense response to an invading pathogen, plants utilize an array of immune receptors to recognize virulence effectors. Virulence effectors are released by pathogens to suppress immune responses in target hosts. These effectors are recognized by a family of resistance proteins known as nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins....

Hop is one of the few dioecious plants with dimorphic sex chromosomes. Because the entire Cannabaceae family is dioecious, hop and other members of this family are thought to have a relatively older sex chromosomal system than other plant species. Hop cones are only produced in female hops with or...

CodY is known to regulate various virulence properties in several Gram-positive bacteria but has not yet been studied
in the important histotoxic and intestinal pathogen Clostridium perfringens. The present study prepared an isogenic codY-null
mutant in C. perfringens type D strain CN3718 by insertional mutagenesis using the Targetron system. Western...

Some export fisheries in Australia have opted for third party certification to gain or maintain access to export markets. For domestic fisheries, the economic and management benefits of third party certification have yet to be fully demonstrated. However, as a response to community perceptions, competition with other users of the...
Vibrio cholerae, an etiological agent of cholera, circulates between aquatic reservoirs and the human gastrointestinal tract. The
type II secretion (T2S) system plays a pivotal role in both stages of the lifestyle by exporting multiple proteins, including cholera
toxin. Here, we studied the kinetics of expression of genes encoding the...
Vibrio cholerae a major health problem in developing countries because of its ability to cause the disease cholera in humans. As V. cholerae bacteria are common inhabitants of temperate marine and brackish water environments worldwide, they are subject to intense top-down pressure by amoebae, which can affect their survival and...

Ecological restoration programs often attempt to maintain or enhance ecosystem services (ES), but fine-scale
maps of multiple ES are rarely available to support prioritization among potential projects. Here we use agency
reports, citizen science, and social media as data sources to quantify the spatial distribution of five recreational
elements of...

Positively-charged gold nanoparticles (0.8-nm core diameter) reduced yeast
survival, but not growth, at a concentration of 10 to 100 μg/ml. Among 17 resistant
deletion mutants isolated in a genome-wide screen, highly significant enrichment
was observed for respiration-deficient mutants lacking genes encoding proteins
associated with the mitochondrion.

Vibrio cholerae is autochthonous to various aquatic niches and is the etiological agent of the life-threatening diarrheal disease
cholera. The persistence of V. cholerae in natural habitats is a crucial factor in the epidemiology of cholera. In contrast to the
well-studied V. cholerae-chitin connection, scarce information is available about the...
