Experimental removal of introduced slider turtles offers new insight into competition with a native, threatened turtle
The red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans; RES) is often considered one of the world’s most invasive species. Results from laboratory and mesocosm experiments suggest that introduced RES outcompete native turtles for key ecological resources, but such experiments can overestimate the strength of competition. We report on the first field experiment with a wild turtle community, involving introduced RES and a declining native species of conservation concern, the western pond turtle (Emys...

Molecular taxonomy of endemic coastal Ligia isopods from the Hawaiian Islands: re-description of L. hawaiensis and description of seven novel cryptic species
Past phylogeographic work has shown Ligia hawaiensis, a coastal isopod species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, to be a paraphyletic complex of several highly genetically divergent yet morphologically cryptic lineages. Despite the need for a taxonomic revision of this species, the lack of morphological differentiation has proven an impediment to formally describe new Ligia species in the region. Molecular characters and species delimitation approaches have been successfully used to formally describe...

Factors associated with the composition and diversity of the cervical microbiota of reproductive-age Black South African women: a retrospective cross-sectional study

Several studies have found an independent association between ethnicity/race and cervical and vaginal microbiota (CVM) composition. Women of sub-Saharan African descent appear to be significantly more likely to have non-Lactobacillus-dominated CVM compared to women of European descent.

Conspicuous colours reduce predation rates in fossorial uropeltid snakes
Uropeltid snakes (Family Uropeltidae) are non-venomous, fossorial snakes that are found above ground occasionally, during which time they are exposed to predation. Many species are brightly coloured, mostly on the ventral surface, but these colours are expected to have no function below the ground. Observations have shown that the cephalic resemblance (resemblance to heads) of uropeltid tails may direct attacks of predators towards the hardened tails, thereby potentially increasing handling times...

Cancer-associated mutations in DICER1 RNase IIIa and IIIb domains exert similar effects on miRNA biogenesis
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11610-1DICER is involved in the processing of miRNAs, where the RNase IIIa and IIIb domains are thought to cut the 3p and 5p hairpin arms, respectively. Here, in endometrial cancer, the authors identify an RNase IIIa mutation, which phenocopies mutations in the RNase IIIb domain.

The structure of a polygamous repressor reveals how phage-inducible chromosomal islands spread in nature
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11504-2Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) encode the master repressor Stl and after bacteriophage infection Stl interacts with specific phage proteins leading to a derepression of SaPIs. Here the authors provide structural insights into this family of repressors by determining the crystal structures of SaPIbov1 Stl alone and in complex with two structurally unrelated phage dUTPases.

Genome-wide association study identifies 14 previously unreported susceptibility loci for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in Japanese
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11596-wAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common pediatric disease leading to spinal deformities. Here, the authors report GWAS followed by genome-wide meta-analysis in up to 79,211 Japanese individuals, identifying 20 genetic loci for AIS, 14 of which were previously unreported, and perform in vitro validation for rs1978060.

Separate lanes for adding and reading in the white matter highways of the human brain
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11424-1Math and reading have shared cognitive components; here authors examined what are shared and dissociated neural substrates of these tasks. They find that dissociated regions and white matter sub-bundles within fascicles support adding and reading, suggesting parallel processing in the brain.

Copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative <i>γ</i>-C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H amination of saturated ketones for synthesis of polysubstituted anilines
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11624-9Functionalising ketones at the γ-position is not a trivial synthetic task. Here, the authors developed a copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative γ-amination of saturated ketones, which can then participate in a 3-component coupling reaction to construct polysubstituted anilines.

Diversity of oligomerization in <i>Drosophila</i> semaphorins suggests a mechanism of functional fine-tuning
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11683-ySemaphorin-plexin interactions regulate various developmental processes in Drosophila but the structural basis of these signaling events is unclear. Here, the authors present crystal structures of all Drosophila class 1 and 2 semaphorins, and elucidate determinants for their plexin binding specificities.

Alternate subunit assembly diversifies the function of a bacterial toxin
Nature Communications, Published online: 15 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11592-0Salmonella Typhi produces the typhoid toxin. Here, Fowler et al. show that S. Typhi produces two forms of typhoid toxin that are differentially regulated and display different trafficking properties and different effects when administered to laboratory animals.

Rainfall drives variation in rates of change in intrinsic water use efficiency of tropical forests
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11679-8How the water use efficiency of trees changes with atmospheric CO2 variations has mostly been studied on short time scales. Here, a newly compiled data set covering 1915 to 1995 shows how rates of change in water use efficiency vary with location and rainfall over the global tropics on a decadal scale.

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy of single and multi-layer graphene
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11165-1Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) accesses the vibrational properties of a material via nonlinear four-wave mixing (FWM); CARS in graphene has not been observed to date despite its high nonlinear third-order susceptibility. Here, the authors devised a FWM scheme to perform stimulated Raman spectroscopy in single and multi-layer graphene through CARS.

Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage nonlinear integrators
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11537-7Recent experimental work has revealed non-linear dendritic integration in interneurons. Here, the authors show, through detailed biophysical modeling, that fast spiking interneurons are better described with a 2-stage artificial neural network model calling into question the use of point neuron models.

Harmonious genetic combinations rewire regulatory networks and flip gene essentiality
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11523-zStudying how genetic variants in different genes interact and their combinatorial output is experimentally and analytically challenging. Here, the authors quantify the effects of more than 5000 mutation pairs in the yeast GAL regulatory system, finding that many combinations can be predicted with statistical models.

PTPσ inhibitors promote hematopoietic stem cell regeneration
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11490-5Protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTPσ) deficient haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) demonstrate increased engraftment following transplantation. Here the authors identify a small molecule inhibitor of PTPσ that promotes murine and human haematopoietic stem cell regeneration via induction of the RAC pathway and BCL-XL.

The complex of ferric-enterobactin with its transporter from <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> suggests a two-site model
Nature Communications, Published online: 14 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11508-yBacteria produce small iron-binding molecules called siderophores, which are recognised by outer-membrane transporters. Here, the authors show that a Pseudomonas transporter recognises the siderophore enterobactin using extracellular loops distant from the pore, and propose that there is a second binding site deeper inside the structure.
