Parallelism in Flower Evolution and Development
(Annual Reviews, 2020-08-17)Flower evolution is characterized by widespread repetition, with adaptations to pollinator environment evolving in parallel. Recent studies have expanded our understanding of the developmental basis of adaptive floral ... -
Keeping it cool: Soil sample cold pack storage and DNA shipment up to 1 month does not impact metabarcoding results
(Wiley, 2020-03-31)With the advances of sequencing tools, the fields of environmental microbiology and soil ecology have been transformed. Today, the unculturable majority of soil microbes can be sequenced. Although these tools give us ... -
The Evolution and Development of Coloniality in Hydrozoans
(Wiley, 2020-08-15)Hydrozoan colonies display a variety of shapes and sizes including encrusting, upright and pelagic forms. Phylogenetic patterns reveal a complex evolutionary history of these distinct colony forms, as well as colony loss. ... -
Frequent fire slows microbial decomposition of newly deposited fine fuels in a pyrophilic ecosystem
(Springer Nature, 2020-07-22)Frequent fires maintain nearly 50% of terrestrial ecosystems, and drive ecosystem changes that govern future fires. Since fires are dependent on available plant or fine fuels, ecosystem processes that alter fine fuel loads ... -

Frizzled3 Expression and Colony Development in Hydractiniid Hydrozoans
(Wiley, 2020-07-10)Hydractiniid hydrozoan colonies are comprised of individual polyps connected by tube‐like stolons or a sheet‐like mat. Mat and stolons function to integrate the colony through continuous epithelia and shared gastrovascular ... -
Google Health Trends performance reflecting dengue incidence for the Brazilian states
(BMC, 2020-03-26)Background Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti and mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Since its re-introduction in 1986, Brazil has become a hotspot for dengue ... -
Symbionts as Filters of Plant Colonization of Islands: Tests of Expected Patterns and Environmental Consequences in the Galapagos
(MDPI, 2020-01-07)The establishments of new organisms that arrive naturally or with anthropogenic assistance depend primarily on local conditions, including biotic interactions. We hypothesized that plants that rely on fungal symbionts are ... -
Cassiosomes are stinging-cell structures in the mucus of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana
(Nature Research, 2020-02-03)Snorkelers in mangrove forest waters inhabited by the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana report discomfort due to a sensation known as stinging water, the cause of which is unknown. Using a combination of histology, ... -
Filamentous cyanobacteria preserved in masses of fungal hyphae from the Triassic of Antarctica
(PeerJ, 2020-03-02)Permineralized peat from the central Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica has provided a wealth of information on plant and fungal diversity in Middle Triassic high-latitude forest paleoecosystems; however, there are no ... -
Improving sustainable use of genetic resources in biodiversity archives
(PeerJ, 2020-02-13)Tissue sample databases housed in biodiversity archives represent a vast trove of genetic resources, and these tissues are often destructively subsampled and provided to researchers for DNA extractions and subsequent ... -
A new species of Astreptolabis in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar, with the discovery of the first male of Astreptolabidinae (Dermaptera)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-02-12)A new species of one of the basal families among extant Dermaptera, Pygidicranidae, is described from mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar based on two females and a male. Astreptolabis laevissp. nov., belongs to the extinct ...
