The dark-ventral-patch of male red deer, a sexual signal that conveys the degree of involvement in rutting behavior
BackgroundIn polygynous mammals, signalling may play a decisive role in mating behavior, mediating the intensity of male fights and female mate...

Fine-scale variation in lip and cheek colour according to the timing of ovulation in women
AbstractVarious animal species have evolved a sexual communication system with females displaying and males discriminating information about the...

The evolution of body coloration in dung beetles: diel activity and sexual dimorphism
Animal colouration may evolve due to its effects on predator avoidance, reproduction and thermoregulation, and is likely influenced by the organism’s...

Biofilm-mediated infections by multidrug-resistant microbes: a comprehensive exploration and forward perspectives
A biofilm is a collection of microorganisms organized in a matrix of extracellular polymeric material. Biofilms consist of microbial cells that...

Comprehensive analysis of the LncRNAs, MiRNAs, and MRNAs acting within the competing endogenous RNA network of LGG
Messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) targets interact via competitive microRNA (miRNA) binding. However, the roles of cancer-specific...

Drinking on the wing: water collection in polarotactic horseflies
Many insects detect water bodies by observing the linearly polarised light which is reflected from the water surface. Polarotactic horseflies exhibit...

Sites of chromosomal instability in the context of nuclear architecture and function
Chromosomal fragile sites are described as areas within the tightly packed mitotic chromatin that appear as breaks or gaps mostly tracing back to a...

Latitudinal gradients in avian colourfulness
It has long been suggested that tropical species are generally more colourful than temperate species, but whether latitudinal gradients in organismal...

Comparative psychophysics of Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and stingless bee (Tetragonula carbonaria) colour purity and intensity perception
Bees play a vital role as pollinators worldwide and have influenced how flower colour signals have evolved. The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera ...

Dynamic signalling using cosmetics may explain the reversed sexual dichromatism in the monogamous greater flamingo
AbstractColourful plumage is typical of males in species with conventional sex roles, in which females care for offspring and males compete for...

Membrane topography and the overestimation of protein clustering in single molecule localisation microscopy – identification and correction
According to single-molecule localisation microscopy almost all plasma membrane proteins are clustered. We demonstrate that clusters can arise from...

Roles of long non-coding RNAs in plant virus interactions
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) belong to the regulatory class of non-coding RNAs, usually non-protein-coding with more than 200-nucleotide long...

Epigenomics in stress tolerance of plants under the climate change
BackgroundClimate change has had a tremendous impact on the environment in general as well as agricultural crops grown in these situations as time...
