A single fungal MAP kinase controls plant cell-to-cell invasion by the rice blast fungus
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-03-23)When the rice blast fungus enters a rice cell, the plasma membrane stays intact, so the rice cell remains viable. The fungus then moves to adjacent cells via plasmodesmata, the plant’s intercellular channels. Sakulkoo et ... -
Site fidelity and localised homing behaviour in three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2013-12-01)The ability of animals to disperse towards their original home range following displacement has been demonstrated in a number of species. However, little is known about the homing ability of three-spine sticklebacks ... -
Small island states excluded from climate research when they need it most
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10) -
Social experience during adolescence influences how male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) group with conspecifics
(2014-01-01)Group-living animals rely on social skills which ensure beneficial interaction and prevent harmful ones with conspecifics. In a previous experiment, we demonstrated that male zebra finches reared in groups during adolescence ... -
Social network analysis resolves temporal dynamics of male dominance relationships
(2014-01-01)Social organization is often studied through point estimates of individual association or interaction patterns, which does not account for temporal changes in the course of familiarization processes and the establishment ... -
Social networks in changing environments
(2015-10-13)© 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Social network analysis (SNA) has become a widespread tool for the study of animal social organisation. However despite this broad applicability, SNA is currently limited by both ... -
Social networks in elasmobranchs and teleost fishes
(2014-01-01)© 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Over the last decade, there has been an exponential increase in studies using social network analysis to describe the structure of animal societies. In this synthesis, we examine the contribution ... -
Source Influence on Journalistic Decisions and News Coverage of Climate Change
(2017-03-30)Across many parts of the globe the relationship between journalists and news sources has been transformed by digital technologies, increased reliance on public relations practitioners, and the rise of citizen journalism. ... -
Sources, Distribution, and Fate of Microscopic Plastics in Marine Environments
(2019-01-01)© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. Microplastics are pieces of plastic debris <5Â mm in diameter. They enter the environment from a variety of sources including the direct input of small pieces such as ... -
Specialization in plant-hummingbird networks is associated with species richness, contemporary precipitation and quaternary climate-change velocity.
(United States, 2011)Large-scale geographical patterns of biotic specialization and the underlying drivers are poorly understood, but it is widely believed that climate plays an important role in determining specialization. As climate-driven ... -
Species recovery in the united states: Increasing the effectiveness of the endangered species act
(2016-12-01)© The Ecological Society of America. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has succeeded in shielding hundreds of species from extinction and improving species recovery over time. However, recovery for most species officially ...
