Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein fingerprints that may be used to assign uncharacterised sequences to known families and hence to infer tentative functions, and an automatic supplement is reported here to increase the coverage of the resource and reduce some of the manual burdens inherent in its maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that birds and bats reduce the density and biomass of arthropods in the tropics with effect sizes similar to those in temperate and boreal communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics and origin of sociality in mongooses (Herpestidae, Carnivora).
TL;DR: The results suggested unexpected phylogenetic relationships: the genus Cynictis is included in the solitary mongoose clade, and the genus Herpestes is polyphyletic, showing the potential benefit of using such characters in phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study has highlighted the value of genetic typing for detecting cryptic invasive species, providing historical insights into introductions and for directing future sampling, and indicated that R. rattus probably became established following at least two and three independent introductions, respectively.
