BackgroundThe greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous and a serious pest of vegetables and ornamentals in greenhouse. Encarsia formosa Gahan (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is an important primary endoparasitoid species of the greenhouse whitefly.ResultsIn the present study, per ...

Western monarch butterflies (sp. Danaus plexippus) are undergoing a severe decline that rivals those occurring among insects across the globe. Despite the estimation of population abundance, growth rates, and extinction probabilities, no analyses have investigated spatiotemporal patterns of decline in the western monarch population. I performed occ...

Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort, but has poor efficacy and resistance is a growing problem. Whilst it is well established that colistin disrupts the bacterial outer membrane (OM) by selectively targeting lipopolysaccharide (LPS), it was unclear how this led to bacterial killing. We discovered that MCR-1 mediated colistin resistance in Esch...

With rapidly increasing data sources, statistical methods that make use of external information are gradually becoming popular tools in medical research. In this article, we efficiently synthesize the auxiliary survival information and propose a semiparametric estimation method for the combined empirical likelihood in the framework of the nonmixtur...

The genus Halacarellus Viets, 1927 holds 50 species, and this number equals 4% of all halacarid species known to date. The genus is spread in all oceans, and a few species are even known from freshwater. The genus includes species which live on and amongst surface structures, algae, colonial organisms, and macrofauna and in interstices and microcav...

From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in di...

Melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, arises from altered cells in the melanocyte lineage, but the mechanisms by which these cells progress to melanoma are unknown. To understand the early cellular events that contribute to melanoma formation, we examined melanocytes in melanoma-prone zebrafish strains expressing BRAFV600E, the most common...

Mutational signatures have emerged as powerful biomarkers in cancer patients, with prognostic and therapeutic implications. Wider clinical utility requires access to reproducible algorithms, which allow characterization of mutational signatures in a given tumor sample. Here, we show how mutational signature fitting can be applied to hematological c...

DIY-biology – very broadly construed as the practice of biological experiments outside of traditional environments such as universities, research institutes or companies – has, over the last decade, gained prominence. This has raised a number of questions about biosafety and biosecurity, both in the media and by policy-makers wishing to keep on top...
