Sentence examples similar to anthropogenic host from inspiring English sources

In this article, we focus on an anthropogenic host-shift in the soapberry bug, Jadera haematoloma, and use a QTL approach to study the genetic architecture of "beak" length, a complex, heritable trait that is closely associated with the species' ability to colonize new hosts.

Ultimately, these experiments will help us to understand the evolution of beak length differences associated with other anthropogenic host-shifts, such as the Australian red-eyed bug, Leptocoris tagalicus, which has colonized two introduced species of invasive balloon vines that have much larger fruits than the native hosts (Carroll 2007).

Because of anthropogenic disturbances, the host-pathogen interactions are being dramatically modified leading to new and unexpected disease risks and the emergence and/or re-emergence of infectious diseases [ 6- 10].

The dietary response of the red fox was shown to be complex when abundant alternative resources were available (anthropogenic food, multiple intermediate host prey species).

We now show that anthropogenic factors, species richness, host genetic diversity and density in communities supporting chiltepin differentially affect infection risk according to the virus analysed.

A host of anthropogenic activities, such as tree logging, conversion of forest land to agriculture, intense agricultural practices, forest fire and unplanned infrastructural development have contributed to the disruption of the contiguity of forests in predominantly natural landscapes (Buskirk et al. 2000; Boogaert et al. 2004).

Emissions of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MT), dimethylsulfide (DMS), and dimethyldisulfide (DMDS), referred to collectively as reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs), occur from a host of anthropogenic sources including the pulp and paper industries, refineries, petrochemicals, sewage treatment plants, etc.

This enabled comparative analyses of disease prevalence across multiple gradients for each of our predictors of interest: biological factors (coral host abundance); anthropogenic factors (human population size); and environmental factors (thermal stress events, surface ultra-violet radiation).

Recent anthropogenic eutrophication has meant that host plants of nettle-feeding insects became quasi-omnipresent in fertile regions of Western Europe.

This is due in part to the ubiquitous presence of PAHs from a host of biogenic and anthropogenic sources.

Notably, it was shown for the first time that virus diversity decreased and prevalence increased during the process of emergence from a pristine rainforest habitat into surrounding areas of less host biodiversity due to anthropogenic modification [ 7].
