INFERRING PROCESSES FROM SPATIAL PATTERNS: THE ROLE OF DIRECTIONAL AND NON-DIRECTIONAL FORCES IN SHAPING FISH LARVAE DISTRIBUTION IN A FRESHWATER LAKE SYSTEM.

Inferring processes from spatial patterns: the role of directional and non-directional forces in shaping fish larvae distribution in a freshwater lake system.

Larval dispersal is a crucial factor for fish recruitment.For fishes with relatively small-bodied larvae, drift has the potential to play a more important role than active habitat selection in determining larval dispersal; therefore, we expect small-bodied fish larvae to be poorly associated with habitat characteristics.To test this hypothesis, we

Identification of paralogous life-cycle stage specific cytoskeletal proteins in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei.

The life cycle of the African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei, is characterised by a transition between insect and mammalian hosts representing Advent Calendar very different environments that present the parasite with very different challenges.These challenges are met by the expression of life-cycle stage-specific cohorts of proteins, which functio
