TL;DR: The study showed high prevalence of AQ resistant parasites in vivo, which appeared to be associated to pfcrt 76T and pfmdr1 86Y in recurrent infections and to the blood concentration of desethylamodiaquine (DEAQ).

TL;DR: A new morphometric method, contour segment analysis, which was recently developed for diatoms in relation to automated identification, gives a clear separation of all six genodemes and indicates no heterogeneity within each.
Abstract: Morphometric shape analysis and ultrastructural data are provided for six genodemes of the Sellaphora pupula species complex that have been studied during the last 20 years from Blackford Pond, Edi

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of spontaneous CPT violation in a string-based scenario were examined and it was shown that certain CPT-violating terms can produce a large baryon asymmetry at the grand-unified scale that reduces to the observed value via sphaleron or other dilution mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared genetic diversity and structure in edge (Southeast Asia, and Southern Australia) and core (North and Eastern Australia) populations, and also compared their results with previously published data from core and southern edge populations.
Abstract: Understanding the genetic composition and mating systems of edge populations provides important insights into the environmental and demographic factors shaping species’ distribution ranges. We analysed samples of the mangrove Avicennia marina from Vietnam, northern Philippines and Australia, with microsatellite markers. We compared genetic diversity and structure in edge (Southeast Asia, and Southern Australia) and core (North and Eastern Australia) populations, and also compared our results with previously published data from core and southern edge populations. Comparisons highlighted significantly reduced gene diversity and higher genetic structure in both margins compared to core populations, which can be attributed to very low effective population size, pollinator scarcity and high environmental pressure at distribution margins. The estimated level of inbreeding was significantly higher in northeastern populations compared to core and southern populations. This suggests that despite the high genetic load usually associated with inbreeding, inbreeding or even selfing may be advantageous in margin habitats due to the possible advantages of reproductive assurance, or local adaptation. The very high level of genetic structure and inbreeding show that populations of A. marina are functioning as independent evolutionary units more than as components of a metapopulation system connected by gene flow. The combinations of those characteristics make these peripheral populations likely to develop local adaptations and therefore to be of particular interest for conservation strategies as well as for adaptation to possible future environmental changes.

TL;DR: It is predicted that warming will kill off kelp forests in the south and that ocean acidification will remove maerl habitat in the north, and combined impacts of seawater warming, ocean acidisation, and increased storminess may replace structurally diverse seaweed canopies with simple habitats dominated by noncalcified, turf-forming seaweeds.
Abstract: Seaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO2 emissions and mounting pressures on coastlines associated with human population growth and increased consumption of finite resources. Here, we predict how rapid warming and acidification are likely to affect benthic flora and coastal ecosystems of the northeast Atlantic in this century, based on global evidence from the literature as interpreted by the collective knowledge of the authorship. We predict that warming will kill off kelp forests in the south and that ocean acidification will remove maerl habitat in the north. Seagrasses will proliferate, and associated epiphytes switch from calcified algae to diatoms and filamentous species. Invasive species will thrive in niches liberated by loss of native species and spread via exponential development of artificial marine structures. Combined impacts of seawater warming, ocean acidification, and increased storminess may replace structurally diverse seaweed canopies, with associated calcified and noncalcified flora, with simple habitats dominated by noncalcified, turf-forming seaweeds.
