Dependence on Mincle and Dectin-2 Varies With Multiple Candida Species During Systemic Infection
(Frontiers Media, 25 February 2021)More than 95% of invasive Candida infections are caused by four Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis). C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs), such as Dectin-1, Dectin-2, and Mincle mediate ... -
A neuroscientific perspective on the computational theory of social groups
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)We welcome a computational theory on social groups, yet we argue it would benefit from a broader scope. A neuroscientific perspective offers the possibility to disentangle which computations employed in a group context are ... -
Contributions of genetic and non‐genetic sources to variation in cooperative behaviour in a cooperative mammal
(Wiley / Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), 14 October 2021)The evolution of cooperative behavior is a major area of research among evolutionary biologists and behavioral ecologists, yet there are few estimates of its heritability or its evolutionary potential, and long-term studies ... -
S2P3-R v2.0: computationally efficient modelling of shelf seas on regional to global scales
(European Geosciences Union / Copernicus Publications, 15 October 2021)The marine impacts of climate change on our societies will be largely felt through coastal waters and shelf seas. These impacts involve sectors as diverse as tourism, fisheries and energy production. Projections of future ... -
Quantifying production rates and size fractions of parrotfish-derived sediment: a key functional role on Maldivian coral reefs (article)
(Wiley/European Society for Evolutionary Biology/Society for the Study of Evolution, 2021)Coral reef fish perform numerous important functional roles on coral reefs. Of these, carbonate sediment production, as a by-product of parrotfish feeding, is especially important for contributing to reef framework ...
