Fungal and Bacterial Communities Exhibit Consistent Responses to Reversal of Soil Acidification and Phosphorus Limitation over Time
MICROORGANISMS, 8(1).
author keywords: bacteria; fungi; pH; community structure; 454 sequencing
TL;DR:
This study examined microbial communities in an ecosystem level manipulative experiment where pH and/or P availability were elevated in three separate forests in Northeastern Ohio and found significant effects of pH treatment and time on fungal and bacterial communities in soil, but found no interaction and only a weak interaction between pH elevation and time for bacterial communities.

2019 journal article
The intestinal environment as an evolutionary adaptation to mouthbrooding in the Astatotilapia burtoni cichlid
FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY, 95(3).
author keywords: cichlid fish; mouthbrooding; social behavior; parental care; starvation; hibernation; estivation
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Animals; Biological Evolution; Cichlids / microbiology; Cichlids / physiology; Consummatory Behavior / physiology; Female; Food; Gastrointestinal Microbiome / genetics; Intestines / cytology; Intestines / microbiology; Intestines / physiology; Starvation
TL;DR:
The gut microbiota of female Astatotilapia burtoni cichlid fish is characterized throughout the obligatory phase of self‐induced starvation during the brooding cycle and is more strongly influenced by physiological changes specific to mouthbrooding including the reduced epithelial turnover and possible production of antimicrobial agents.

2019 journal article
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 19.
author keywords: Aposematism; Coloration; Color variation; Poison frog
MeSH headings : Animals; Anura / genetics; Color; Gene Expression Regulation; Gene Ontology; Melanins / metabolism; Phenotype; Principal Component Analysis; Skin Pigmentation / genetics; Transcriptome / genetics
TL;DR:
This work has taken a transcriptomics-based approach to elucidate the underlying genetic mechanisms affecting color and pattern in a highly polytypic poison frog, and finds differential expression of a suite of genes that control melanogenesis, melanocyte differentiation, and melanocyte proliferation.

Ecology of sleeping: the microbial and arthropod associates of chimpanzee beds
ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE, 5(5).
Contributors: M. Thoemmes n, F. Stewart *, R. Hernandez-Aguilar *, M. Bertone n , D. Baltzegar n, R. Borski n, N. Cohen *, n, A. Piel *, R. Dunn n
author keywords: chimpanzee; nest; bed; microbiome; hygiene hypothesis; built environment
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the life to which chimpanzees are exposed while in their beds is predominately the same as that of the surrounding environment.

Development of a universal double-digest RAD sequencing approach for a group of nonmodel, ecologically and economically important insect and fish taxa
Molecular Ecology Resources, 16(6), 1303–1314.
author keywords: double-digest RAD sequencing; high-throughput sequencing; reduced representation sequencing; restriction enzyme digests
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA / chemistry; DNA / metabolism; DNA Restriction Enzymes / metabolism; Fishes / genetics; Genomics / methods; Insecta / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA / methods
TL;DR:
The results of this study provide empirical evidence of the utility of this method for producing consistent data for diverse nonmodel species and suggest specific considerations for sequencing analysis strategies.

Polygenic sex determination in the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni
BMC GENOMICS, 17.
author keywords: Sex determination; Polygenic sex determination; Cichlid; Fish; Evolution; Astatotilapia burtoni
MeSH headings : Animals; Cichlids / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Genetic Association Studies; Genetic Linkage; Inheritance Patterns; Male; Penetrance; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Sex Determination Processes / genetics; Sex Ratio
TL;DR:
Mapping results supporting the presence of multiple, novel sex determination alleles in A. burtoni provide a foundation for future mapping of multiple sex determination genes and their interactions and provide important context for their use in behavioral studies, as well as studies of the evolution of genetic sex determination and sexual conflicts in East African cichlids.

Genetic basis of continuous variation in the levels and modular inheritance of pigmentation in cichlid fishes
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 23(21), 5135–5150.
author keywords: cichlids; neural crest cells; phenotypic integration; pigmentation; sexual selection
MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Cichlids / genetics; Crosses, Genetic; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Fish Proteins / genetics; Genetics, Population; Male; Paired Box Transcription Factors / genetics; Phenotype; Pigmentation / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci; Selection, Genetic; Sex Determination Processes
TL;DR:
Insight is provided into the genetic basis of complex and continuous patterns of colour variation in cichlid fishes, which offer a vast diversity of pigmentation patterns that have evolved in response to both natural and sexual selection.
