Linking a mutation to survival in wild mice

Jeffrey David Jensen, Stefan Jean Laurent, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Matthieu Foll

Adaptive evolution in new or changing environments can be difficult to predict because the functional connections between genotype, phenotype, and fitness are complex. Here, we make these explicit connections by combining field and laboratory experiments i ...

Transfer of enteric viruses (adenovirus and coxsackievirus) and bacteriophage (MS2) from liquid to human skin

Tamar Kohn, Timothy R. Julian, Ana Karina Pitol Garcia, Heather Nicole Bischel-Magnan

Indirect exposure to waterborne viruses increases risk of infection, especially amongst children with frequent hand-to-mouth contacts. Here, we quantified the transfer of one bacteriophage (MS2) and two enteric viruses (adenovirus and coxsackievirus) from ...

Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout

Laure Menin, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo

Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...

A Miniature Multimodal Actuator for Effective Tactile Feedback: Design and Characterization

Huaiqi Huang

We designed a miniature multimodal actuator by combining servomotors and vibrators. The actuator is mainly designed to non-invasively deliver tactile information to human skin by high-frequency vibration and low-frequency pressures simultaneously. By utili ...
