Kin discrimination drives territorial exclusion during Bacillus subtilis swarming and restrains exploitation of surfactin
Swarming is the collective movement of bacteria across a surface. It requires the production of surfactants (public goods) to overcome surface...

Acoustic discrimination by hosts favours vocal trickery in fledglings of the brood-parasitic screaming cowbird
AbstractAgonistic interactions between obligate avian brood parasites and their hosts can lead to the coevolution at any stage of the nesting cycle,...

Sexual discrimination and attraction through scents in the water vole, Arvicola terrestris
In mammals, especially rodents, social behaviours, such as parenting, territoriality or mate attraction, are largely based on olfactory communication...

Machine learning based mass prediction and discrimination of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars
Chickpea is an important edible legume that can be grown in rain fed conditions. Image analysis and machine learning could be used for rapid and...

Discrimination of Tanzanian stingless bee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) based on nest characteristics
Stingless bees are a unique resource to Afrotropical ecosystems where they pollinate crops and natural vegetation, and produce honey which has...

Preference and discrimination of facial expressions of humans, rats, and mice by C57 mice
Social animals likely recognize emotional expressions in other animals. Recent studies suggest that mice can visually perceive emotional expressions...

Phenotypic variation in leaf photosynthetic traits, leaf area index, and carbon discrimination of field-grown wheat genotypes and their relationship with yield performance in Mediterranean environments
Main conclusionLeaf water potential, gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence exhibited significant differences among genotypes, high environmental...

Rare antibody phage isolation and discrimination (RAPID) biopanning enables identification of high-affinity antibodies against challenging targets
In vitro biopanning platforms using synthetic phage display antibody libraries have enabled the identification of antibodies against antigens that...

Top-down acetylcholine signaling via olfactory bulb vasopressin cells contributes to social discrimination in rats
Social discrimination in rats requires activation of the intrinsic bulbar vasopressin system, but it is unclear how this system comes into operation,...

Estimating gap age using tree-ring width in combination with carbon isotope discrimination in a temperate forest, Northeast China
Key messageThe accuracy of gap age estimation can be improved from 5–6 to 2 years by analyzing the annual width and carbon isotope discrimination of...

The effect of dimensional reinforcement prediction on discrimination of compound visual stimuli by pigeons
We trained eight pigeons ( Columba livia ) on a stagewise go/no-go visual discrimination task. A total of 16 visual stimuli were created from all...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 screening of nine Chilean founder mutations through allelic-discrimination and real-time PCR in breast/ovarian cancer patients
BackgroundIn a previous work, we identified nine founder mutations present in close to 80% of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, and distributed...

Rapid learning of a phonemic discrimination in the first hours of life
Human neonates can discriminate phonemes, but the neural mechanism underlying this ability is poorly understood. Here we show that the neonatal brain...

Genome wide analysis revealed conserved domains involved in the effector discrimination of bacterial type VI secretion system
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) deliver effectors into target cells. Besides structural and effector proteins, many other proteins, such as...
