Abstract: Functionally similar IDPs (Intrinsically Disordered Proteins) often have little sequence similarity. This is in stark contrast to folded proteins and poses a challenge for the inverse problem: functional classification of IDPs using sequence alignment. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.11.012
Abstract: Abstract Understanding shifts in benthic communities along gradients over time is of crucial importance in estuarine ecology and for conservation. Yet studies considering historical data and both taxonomic and functional aspects are rare. We analysed… read more here.

Abstract: Invasive non-native fish species can profoundly disrupt ecosystems. In invasion ecology, using the functional similarity with native species to help predict demographic rates of non-native species and infer the ecological processes underlying it remains largely… read more here.

Abstract: Coral reefs generally thrive under high light conditions. As light decreases with depth, corals may adapt their morphology to optimise light capture. However, these same changes in morphology (e.g., platy forms) may also occur in… read more here.
