'Clément Le Potier' 'Géraldine Loot' 'Olivier Rey' 'Xinzhuan Su'] A parasite’s lifestyle is characterized by a critical dependency on its host for feeding, shelter and/or reproduction. The ability of parasites to exploit new host species can reduce the risk associated with host dependency. The number of host species…

Introduction Bacteriophage therapy is emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance. However, concerns remain regarding host shifts, where therapeutic phages could evolve to infect and harm beneficial commensal bacteria. Understanding how frequently host…

PPMV-1, an antigenic variant of APMV-1, associated with specific pigeon host species. However, its evolutionary strategy and underlying drivers of host specificity remain unknown. In this study, we collect the outbreak data on a global scale to investigate its evolutionary dynamics, and provide an evidence-supported…

The host shift in insects has been considered a key process with potential to collaborate with reproductive isolation and speciation. Both genomics and transcriptomics variation has been attributed to such process, in which gene families with functions for host location, acceptance and usage have been proposed to…

Biological communities are responding to changes in climate through a combination of range shifts and evolution in situ. However, even in systems where we have genomic and phenotypic evidence of recent adaptation, the ecological and fitness consequences of such evolutionary change remain underexplored, especially in…

'Gregory M. Mueller'] Suillus is a genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated almost exclusively with Pinaceae. Lack of sample collections in East Asia and unresolved basal phylogenetic relationships of the genus are the major obstacles for better understanding the Suillus evolution. A resolved phylogeny of Suillus…

'Marco A. N. Vigilato' 'Daniel G. Streicker' 'Ryan Wallace'] Rabies virus (RABV) host-shift events (HSEs) are thought to be promoted by viral genomic and ecological factors, but the relative balance of the two is unclear. Using a dataset of 19,170 species pairs that were known or not known to be linked by an HSE, we…

Phytophagous insects have specialized on virtually every plant lineage. Parasitic plants, however, are uncommon hosts. Among insects, only a single lineage of weevils, the Smicronychini, has successfully radiated on both parasitic and non-parasitic plants in a large panel of distantly related Asterid families. This…

Host shifts are considered a key generator of insect biodiversity. For insects, adaptation to new host plants often requires changes in larval/pupal development and adult behavioural preference toward new hosts. Neurochemicals play key roles in both development and behaviour and therefore provide a potential source for…

Graph signal processing built on the eigenvectors of a Laplacian or adjacency shift inherits three structural compromises: the eigenbasis is fixed only up to rotation within degenerate eigenspaces, the shift is not an isometry, and there is no genuine translation under which filtering is a true convolution. We develop…

'Claudio de Simone'] The determining factors of the composition of the gut microbiome are one of the main interests in current science. In this work, we compared the effect of diet shift (DS) from heavily relying on meatatarian diets to vegetarian diets and physical exercise (EX) on the composition of the gut…

One of the most important issues in data stream processing systems is to use operator migration to handle highly variable workloads in a cost-efficient manner and adapt to the needs at any given time on demand. Operator migration is a complex process that involves changes in the state and stream management of a running…

Immobilization of molecular catalysts onto electrode surfaces using host-guest (HG) interactions enables facile regeneration of electrodes following catalyst degradation. Beyond this practical aspect, the architecture also offers a unique way to study the electronic coupling of molecules to the electrode through a…

Reconfigurable networks are a novel communication paradigm in which the pattern of connectivity between hosts varies rapidly over time. Prior theoretical work explored the inherent tradeoffs between throughput (or, hop-count) and latency, and showed the existence of infinitely many Pareto-optimal designs as the network…

The SAMPL series of challenges aim to focus the community on specific modeling challenges, while testing and hopefully driving progress of computational methods to help guide pharmaceutical drug discovery. In this study, we report on the results of the SAMPL8 host-guest blind challenge for predicting absolute binding…

Molecular control of chiroptical properties lies at the heart of advanced photonic applications including molecular information processing, optical memories, sensing, or absolute asymmetric synthesis. Chiroptical photoswitching is especially interesting in this regard as it uses light in a dual sense, first as trigger…

Complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) is useful for accurately predicting properties of complex electronic structures, but it is well known that it systematically underestimates excitation energies. The underestimation can be corrected using the ionization potential--electron affinity (IPEA)…
