Little evidence for inbreeding depression for birth mass, survival and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups

The paper investigates inbreeding effects on birth mass, survival, and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups and finds no clear or consistent inbreeding depression in these traits.

Electronic Mapping of a Bacterial Genome with Dual Solid-State Nanopores and Active Single-Molecule Control

This paper demonstrates electronic mapping of a bacterial genome using dual solid-state nanopores and active control, achieving 3.1x coverage of E. coli with 150-166 bp inter-tag resolution.

Low heritability and high phenotypic plasticity of salivary cortisol in response to environmental heterogeneity in a wild pinniped

The paper examines salivary cortisol variation in Antarctic fur seals, finding low heritability and high phenotypic plasticity influenced by environmental and intrinsic factors.

Movement patterns and activity levels are shaped by the neonatal environment in Antarctic fur seal pups

This study examines how the neonatal environment influences activity levels in Antarctic fur seal pups using GPS tracking and hidden Markov models.

Unraveling a tangled skein: Evolutionary analysis of the bacterial gibberellin biosynthetic operon

This study analyzes the evolutionary history of bacterial gibberellin biosynthetic operons, revealing complex horizontal gene transfer patterns and distinct genetic compositions across rhizobia and phytopathogens.
