Data from: Feeding preference as a main determinant of microscale patchiness ...
Soil biota are responsible for essential ecosystem services such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling and water retention. However, assessment of the condition of soil biota is... -
Data from: Fire severity unaffected by spruce beetle outbreak in spruce-fir f...
Recent large and severe outbreaks of native bark beetles have raised concern among the general public and land managers about potential for amplified fire activity in western... -
Data from: When to reproduce? A new answer to an old question
We present a life-history model based on the assumptions that juvenile survival follows a negative exponential function and that fecundity gain increases linearly with time to... -
Data from: Benefits and challenges with applying unique molecular identifiers...
Indexing individual template molecules with a unique identifier (UID) before PCR and deep sequencing is promising for detecting low frequency mutations, as true mutations could... -
Data from: Reliability-based weighting of visual and vestibular cues in displ...
When navigating through the environment, our brain needs to infer how far we move and in which direction we are heading. In this estimation process, the brain may rely on... -
Data from: Genetic inviability is a major driver of type-III survivorship in ...
The offspring of most highly fecund marine fish and shellfish suffer substantial mortality early in the life cycle, complicating prediction of recruitment and fisheries... -
Data from: Reconstructing changes in the genotype, phenotype, and climatic ni...
An introduced species must contend with enormous environmental variation in its introduced range. In this study, we use niche models and ordination analyses to reconstruct... -
Data from: Watch out where you sleep: nocturnal sleeping behaviour of Bay Isl...
Sleeping exposes lizards to predation. Therefore, sleeping strategies must be directed towards avoiding predation and might vary among syntopic species. We studied sleeping site... -
Data from: Challenges in the estimation of extinction from molecular phylogen...
Time-calibrated phylogenies that contain only living species have been widely used to study the dynamics of speciation and extinction. Concerns about the reliability of... -
Data from: Phylogenomic analyses resolve an ancient trichotomy at the base of...
Phylogenetic resolution of ancient rapid radiations has remained problematic despite major advances in statistical approaches and DNA sequencing technologies. Here we report on... -
Data from: Multilocus phylogeography reveals nested endemism in a gecko acros...
Multilocus phylogeography can uncover taxonomically unrecognized lineage diversity across complex biomes. The Australian monsoonal tropics includes vast, ecologically intact... -
Data from: De novo assembly and characterization of leaf and floral transcrip...
We present the leaf and floral transcriptomes of two hybridizing bromeliad species that differ in their major pollinator systems. Here we identified candidate genes responsible... -
Data from: Early sitting in ischemic stroke patients (SEVEL): a randomized co...
Background: Extended immobility has been associated with medical complications during hospitalization. However no clear recommendations are available for mobilization of... -
Data from: Genome-wide SNPs reveal fine-scale differentiation among wingless ...
Insect flight-loss is a repeated phenomenon in alpine habitats, where wing reduction is thought to enhance local recruitment and increase fecundity. One predicted consequence of... -
Data from: Vomiting as a symptom and transmission risk in norovirus illness: ...
Background: In the US, noroviruses are estimated to cause 21 million cases annually with economic losses reaching $2 billion. Outbreak investigations frequently implicate... -
Data from: Conserved class of queen pheromones stops social insect workers fr...
A major evolutionary transition to eusociality with reproductive division of labor between queens and workers has arisen independently at least 10 times in the ants, bees, and... -
Data from: Evaluating modularity in morphometric data: challenges with the RV...
Modularity describes the case where patterns of trait covariation are unevenly dispersed across traits. Specifically, trait correlations are high and concentrated within subsets... -
Data from: New record of Egertonia (Elopiformes, Phyllodontidae) from the Lat...
We report a new occurrence of the phyllodontid teleost fish Egertonia from the Late Cretaceous Kallamedu Formation of the Cauvery Basin, South India. This is the oldest... -
Data from: Taxonomic revision of the tarantula genus Aphonopelma Pocock, 1901...
This systematic study documents the taxonomy, diversity, and distribution of the tarantula spider genus Aphonopelma Pocock, 1901 within the United States. By employing... -
Data from: Compositional turnover and ecological changes related to the waxin...
The late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) had a profound effect on the biota. Despite much research having been focused on paleotropical regions or global-scale analyses, regional...
