A quorum sensing-regulated type VI secretion system containing multiple nonredundant VgrG proteins is required for interbacterial competition in Chromobacterium violaceum

J. A. Alves, F. C. Leal, M. Previato-Mello, J. F. da Silva Neto

This paper identifies a quorum sensing-regulated type VI secretion system in Chromobacterium violaceum that uses multiple nonredundant VgrG proteins for interbacterial competition, with VgrG3 playing a major role.

Flexible Parental Care: Uniparental Incubation In Biparentally Incubating Shorebirds

M. Bulla, H. Pruter, H. Vitnerova, W. Tijsen, M. Sladeček, J. A. Alves, O. Gilg, B. Kempenaers

The paper shows that 8 out of 15 shorebird species can switch to uniparental incubation when one parent disappears, with 27% of these clutches successfully hatching.

Unexpected diversity in socially synchronized rhythms of shorebirds

M. Bulla, M. Valcu, A. M. Dokter, A. A. Dondua, A. Kosztolanyi, A. Rutten, B. Helm, B. K. Sandercock, B. Casler, B. J. Ens, C. S. Spiegel, C. J. Hassell, C. Kupper, C. Minton, D. Burgas, , Koloski

This study examines incubation rhythms in shorebirds, finding significant diversity in synchronization patterns and linking them to predation risk rather than energy demands.
