Sub-stand diameter distribution types vary along an old-growth Douglas-fir chronosequence into the horizontal diversification development stage
Managing mature Douglas-fir [ Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] stands to emulate the structural complexity of natural old-growth forest requires...

Determining Optimal Horizontal Spacing for Sand Filter in Reservoir Dams
Reservoir dam erosion caused by an increased seepage velocity on downstream slopes is a major concern, and zoned-type dams are commonly used to...

Horizontal migration of zooplankton in lake–wetland interfaces. Can temperature-driven surface exchange flows modulate its patterns?
Lake ecology can be affected by exchange flows driven by horizontal temperature gradients in lake–wetland interfaces. In this work, we investigate...

A global survey of prokaryotic genomes reveals the eco-evolutionary pressures driving horizontal gene transfer
Horizontal gene transfer, the exchange of genetic material through means other than reproduction, is a fundamental force in prokaryotic genome...

Horizontal Heterogeneities of Functioning of Phyto- and Zooplankton in a Lake with Wind Currents
AbstractA hypothesis about the formation of horizontal heterogeneities of zooplankton and phytoplankton for a lake subjected to regular daily changes...

Horizontal Pattern of Trees in the Cenopopulation of Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr. in the Forest Tundra Ecotone on the Taimyr Peninsula
AbstractThe features of the horizontal spatial pattern of multi-aged open forests of Gmelin larch ( Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.), forming the...

Horizontal transmission maintains host specificity and codiversification of symbionts in a brood parasitic host
In host-symbiont systems, interspecific transmissions create opportunities for host switches, potentially leading to cophylogenetic incongruence. In...

Forest Diversity and Distribution
Forest diversity in the Uttarakhand Himalaya is rich. Forest types vary from monsoon deciduous forests to pine forests, mixed-oak forests, coniferous...

The non-vesicle cell-free DNA (cfDNA) induces cell transformation associated with horizontal DNA transfer
BackgroundCell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a source for liquid biopsy used for cancer diagnosis, therapy selection, and disease monitoring due to its...

Detecting Horizontal Transfer of Transposons
Transposable elements (TEs) are prevalent genomic components which can replicate as a function of mobilization in eukaryotes. Not only do they alter...

The horizontal gene transfer of perchlorate reduction genomic island in three bacteria from an ecological niche
AbstractThree new strains of dissimilatory perchlorate-reducing bacteria (DPRB), QD19-16, QD1-5, and P3-1, were isolated from an active sludge....

Rapid horizontal accumulation and bloom formation of the cyanobacterium Microcystis under wind stress
Wind plays a vital role in the distribution of algal biomass, but it remains unclear what wind conditions maximize the horizontal transport of Microcystis...

Lifestyle changes in Botryosphaeriaceae as evidenced by ancestral genome expansion and horizontal gene transfer
Botryosphaeriaceae (Botryosphaeriales, Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) encompasses commonly encountered opportunistic pathogens that cause stem cankers...

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Fungi and Its Ecological Importance
Fungi are one of the most diverse kingdoms in the tree of life, thrive in virtually every habitat on the planet, and are vital for a plethora of...

Soybean triggers tomato root horizontal asymmetry by modifying capture of P rather than N under low nutrient condition
Background and aimsPlants alter root placement patterns to respond nutrients and neighbors, but whether neighbors influence the root architecture by...

Salivary proteins potentially derived from horizontal gene transfer are critical for salivary sheath formation and other feeding processes
Herbivorous insects employ an array of salivary proteins to aid feeding. However, the mechanisms behind the recruitment and evolution of these genes...

Horizontal variability and regulation of bacterial production in Lake Biwa, Japan
To clarify horizontal variability and regulation of bacterial production (BP), we investigated BP and environmental variables along three east–west...

Effect of commutation on pressure drop and microbial diversity in a horizontal biotrickling filter for toluene removal
A horizontal biotrickling filter (HBTF) was designed to understand the toluene removal process and microbial community structures. The start-up time...

The resistomes of Mycobacteroides abscessus complex and their possible acquisition from horizontal gene transfer
BackgroundMycobacteroides abscessus complex (MABC), an emerging pathogen, causes human infections resistant to multiple antibiotics. In this study,...
