Studies of anthropogenic impacts on wildlife may produce inconclusive or biased results if they
fail to account for natural sources of variation in breeding performance and do not use probabilistic sampling
at a scale functional for management. We used stratified random sampling and generalized linear mixed
models to test hypotheses...

BACKGROUND:
Plant gametophytes play central roles in sexual reproduction. A hallmark of the plant life
cycle is that gene expression is required in the haploid gametophytes. Consequently, many
mutant phenotypes are expressed in this phase.
RESULTS:
We perform a quantitative RNA-seq analysis of embryo sacs, comparator ovules with the
embryo...

Grassland and shrubland birds are declining globally due in part to anthropogenic habitat modification. Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. We used design-based sampling and occupancy models to test relationships of environmental...

Previous studies have reported that the metastable vaterite phase of calcium carbonate can be stabilized in solution by acidic additives. Here we demonstrate that vaterite can also be stabilized directly at surfaces by engineered peptides. Our data show that the mineralisation occurs in a 'self-templating' process where calcium ions restructure...
