A typical set of mass action equations for the bacterial density B, the density of free phages P, and the nutrient n take the form13,14,23,35: $$begin{array}{l}frac{dn}{dt}=-lambda Bfrac{n}{n+K} frac{dB}{dt}=lambda Bfrac{n}{n+K}-eta BP frac{dP}{dt}=(beta -1)eta BP-delta Pend{array}$$ (1) where the nutrient n is measured in units of bacteria it can be converted to (corresponding to a yield of […] More
The D. suzukii population used in this study originated from ~50 flies that emerged from elderberries collected in September 2016 in northern Germany. Since then the flies had been kept at a population size of approx. 200 flies in custom-made population cages (22 litres). For egg collection, flies were offered thawed raspberries, and oviposited fruits were […] More

Plant material and growth conditions The 15 African rice cultivars used in this study were the O. sativa cultivars TOS7940 (Accession number WAB0009687), TOS8086 (WAB0009756), TOS8722 (WAB0010137), TOS10589 (WAB0026804), TOS13649 (WAB0025539), TOS13699 (WAB0025692), and TOS14844 (WAB0013700), the O. barthii cultivars TOB7307 (WAB0008667) and TOB14466 (WAB0013402), and the O. glaberrima cultivars JIAKAWO WODEWO (WAB0004306), MB3 (WAB0009234), […] More
Experimental site The experiment was carried out from February to August 2018. The site was located in Kings County (36° 21.698′ N, 119° 42.263′ W) California, USA. We selected young almond trees for this experiment, because kernel quantity and quality of whole trees can be measured, and accumulated resources are limited in smaller trees29,30, which […] More

Review of the raw documentary video footage from the 2015 expedition generated three new fish species records for Rangitāhua: Labroides dimidiatus, Chaetodon mertensii and Ephinephalus rivulatus (Fig. 1). These species are considered tropical (or subtropical in the case of E. rivulatus21), consistent with previous studies that suggest a characteristic warm-water component in the fish fauna of […] More
We proposed that domestic cats, with a higher than average intake of fish-based foods compared to domestic dogs and Scottish wildcats, have a higher intake of dietary arsenic that bioaccumulates in their kidneys, leading to interstitial nephritis that underpins CKD. Our data only partially support this contention. In our sampled population of domestic cats and […] More
