From theory to experiments for testing the proximate mechanisms of mast seeding: an agenda for an experimental ecology. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). From theory to experiments for testing the proximate mechanisms of mast seeding: an agenda for an experimental ecology. Ecology Letters, 210-220. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.13442

Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains poorly understood. The lack of experimental studies prevents underlying mecha... Read More about From theory to experiments for testing the proximate mechanisms of mast seeding: an agenda for an experimental ecology..

Prevalence of multidrug-, extensive drug-, and pandrug-resistant commensal Escherichia coli isolated from healthy humans in community settings in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Prevalence of multidrug-, extensive drug-, and pandrug-resistant commensal Escherichia coli isolated from healthy humans in community settings in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Global Health Action, 1815272 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1080/16549716.2020.1815272

BACKGROUND: The majority of existing studies aimed at investigating the incidence and prevalence of multidrug-resistance by bacteria have been performed in healthcare settings. Relatively few studies have been conducted in community settings, but the...

Spatial genetic structure and diversity of natural populations of Aesculus hippocastanum L. in Greece (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Spatial genetic structure and diversity of natural populations of Aesculus hippocastanum L. in Greece. PloS one, 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0226225

Horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) is an endemic and relict species from the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot and a popular ornamental tree. Knowledge about the evolutionary history of this species remains scarce. Here, we ask what historic...

Forgotten Fibrocytes: A Neglected, Supporting Cell Type of the Cochlea With the Potential to be an Alternative Therapeutic Target in Hearing Loss. (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Forgotten Fibrocytes: A Neglected, Supporting Cell Type of the Cochlea With the Potential to be an Alternative Therapeutic Target in Hearing Loss. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, https://doi.org/10.3389/fncel.2019.00532

Cochlear fibrocytes are a homeostatic supporting cell type embedded in the vascularized extracellular matrix of the spiral ligament, within the lateral wall. Here, they participate in the connective tissue syncytium that enables potassium recirculati...

Volatiles of bacteria associated with parasitoid habitats elicit distinct olfactory responses in an aphid parasitoid and its hyperparasitoid (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Volatiles of bacteria associated with parasitoid habitats elicit distinct olfactory responses in an aphid parasitoid and its hyperparasitoid. Functional Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13503

To locate mating partners and essential resources such as food, oviposition sites and shelter, insects rely to a large extent on chemical cues. While most research has focused on cues derived from plants and insects, there is mounting evidence that i...

The potential for a released autosomal X-shredder becoming a driving-Y chromosome and invasively suppressing wild populations of malaria mosquitoes (2019)
Journal Article
Alcalay, Y., Fuchs, S., Galizi, R., Bernardini, F., Elaine Haghighat-Khah, R., B. Rusch, D., R. Adrion, J., W. Hahn, M., Tortosa, P., & Aris Papathanos, P. (2019). The potential for a released autosomal X-shredder becoming a driving-Y chromosome and invasively suppressing wild populations of malaria mosquitoes. Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies, https://doi.org/10.1101/860551

Abstract Synthetic sex-ratio distorters based on X-chromosome shredding are predicted to be more efficient than sterile males for population suppression of malaria mosquitoes using genetic control. X-chromosome shredding operates through the targeted...
