A conformational selection mechanism of flavivirus NS5 for species-specific STAT2 inhibition
Flaviviruses, including Zika virus (ZIKV) and Dengue virus (DENV), rely on their non-structural protein 5 (NS5) for both replication of viral genome...

Functional Traits Drive the Selection of Plant Species Used by Agropastoralists in the Brazilian Semiarid Region
Biodiversity is crucial for human well-being and sustenance, especially for rural communities that directly depend on plant resources. We...

Genomic Selection in Aquaculture Species
To date, genomic prediction has been conducted in about 20 aquaculture species, with a preference for intra-family genomic selection (GS). For every...

Recent gene selection and drug resistance underscore clinical adaptation across Candida species
Understanding how microbial pathogens adapt to treatments, humans and clinical environments is key to infer mechanisms of virulence, transmission and...

Early selection of carrot somatic hybrids: a promising tool for species with high regenerative ability
BackgroundSince its discovery, somatic hybridization has been used to overcome the sexual barriers between cultivated and wild species. A combination...

Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
Mitochondrial and nuclear genomes must be co-adapted to ensure proper cellular respiration and energy production. Mito-nuclear incompatibility...

Genetic diversity and selection gains in progeny tests of tropical forest species: a two-way road for the future
The expansion of forest plantations to supply the wood market requires selection of genotypes that can provide high gains, which may compromise...

Scale-dependent habitat selection of sympatric mesocarnivore species in a cool temperate forest in eastern Japan
Habitat partitioning is a key mechanism that allows coexistence of species, but studies of sympatric mesocarnivore species’ habitat partitioning have...

Plant species selection and impact on tree resprouts by semi-free ranging pigs in a temperate deciduous forest
Silvopastoral systems with grazing pigs are mainly concentrated in Mediterranean regions, for instance in Iberian dehesas and montados . Conversely,...

Copy number changes in co-expressed odorant receptor genes enable selection for sensory differences in drosophilid species
Despite numerous examples of chemoreceptor gene family expansions and contractions, how these relate to modifications in the sensory neuron...

Body Part Selection for Size Classification of Two Trichogramma Species
Body size is an important morphological characteristic that covaries with the quality of parasitoids and predators. Data show that the larger the...

Integrating network theory and biodiversity conservation: do different species selection approaches result in different recommendations?
Tree species used in agroforestry systems can be selected based on which species support higher numbers of plant-animal interactions. Integrating...
