We consider the problem of finding unknown patterns that are recurring across multiple
sets. For example, finding multiple objects that are present in multiple images or a short
DNA code that is repeated across multiple DNA sequences. We first...

The Fukushima Daiichi power station released
several radionuclides into the Pacific following the March 2011
earthquake and tsunami. A total of 26 Pacific albacore (Thunnus

Models of ecosystem carbon (C) balance
generally assume a strong relationship between NPP,
litter inputs, and soil C accumulation, but there is little
direct evidence for such a coupled relationship. Using a
unique 50-year detrital manipulation...

Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the largest
and most variable component of the global terrestrial carbon
cycle. Repeatable and accurate monitoring of terrestrial
GPP is therefore critical for quantifying dynamics in
regional-to-global carbon...

BACKGROUND: As it becomes increasingly possible to obtain DNA sequences of orthologous genes from diverse sets
of taxa, species trees are frequently being inferred from multilocus data. However, the behavior of many methods for
performing this...

Impact of reproductive processes upon female health has yielded conflicting results; particularly in relation to the role of
reproduction-associated stress. We used the viviparous tsetse fly to determine if lactation, birth and involution lead to...
