text: In this Letter, we explore experimentally the phase behavior of a dense active
suspension of self-propelled colloids. In addition to a solidlike and gaslike
phase observed for high and low densities, a novel cluster phase is reported at
intermediate densities. This takes the form of a stationary assembly of dense
aggregates—resulting from a permanent dynamical merging and separation of active
colloids—whose average size grows with activity as a linear function of the self-propelling
velocity. While different possible scenarios can be considered to account for
these observations—such as a generic velocity weakening instability recently put
forward—we show that the experimental results are reproduced mathematically by
a chemotactic aggregation mechanism, originally introduced to account for bacterial
aggregation and accounting here for diffusiophoretic chemical interaction between
colloidal swimmers.

text: 'We demonstrate how to appropriately estimate the zero-frequency (static)
hyperpolarizability of an organic molecule from its charge distribution, and we
explore applications of these estimates for identifying and evaluating new organic
nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. First, we calculate hyperpolarizabilities from
Hartree-Fock-derived charge distributions and find order-of-magnitude agreement
with experimental values. We show that these simple arithmetic calculations will
enable systematic searches for new organic NLO molecules. Second, we derive hyperpolarizabilities
from crystallographic data using a multipolar charge-density analysis and find
good agreement with empirical calculations. This demonstrates an experimental
determination of the full static hyperpolarizability tensor in a solid-state sample. '

text: "In models of radiative–convective equilibrium it is known that convection
can spontaneously aggregate into one single localized moist region if the domain
is large enough. The large changes in the mean climate state and radiative fluxes
accompanying this self-aggregation raise questions as to what simulations at lower
resolutions with parameterized convection, in similar homogeneous geometries,
should be expected to produce to be considered successful in mimicking a cloud-resolving
model.\r\nThe authors investigate this self-aggregation in a nonrotating, three-dimensional
cloud-resolving model on a square domain without large-scale forcing. It is found
that self-aggregation is sensitive not only to the domain size, but also to the
horizontal resolution. With horizontally homogeneous initial conditions, convective
aggregation only occurs on domains larger than about 200km and with resolutions
coarser than about 2km in the model examined. The system exhibits hysteresis,
so that with aggregated initial conditions, convection remains aggregated even
at our finest resolution, 500m, as long as the domain is greater than 200–300km.\r\nThe
sensitivity of self-aggregation to resolution and domain size in this model is
due to the sensitivity of the distribution of low clouds to these two parameters.
Indeed, the mechanism responsible for the aggregation of convection is the dynamical
response to the longwave radiative cooling from low clouds. Strong longwave cooling
near cloud top in dry regions forces downward motion, which by continuity generates
inflow near cloud top and near-surface outflow from dry regions. This circulation
results in the net export of moist static energy from regions with low moist static
energy, yielding a positive feedback."

text: The Arabidopsis thaliana central cell, the companion cell of the egg, undergoes
DNA demethylation before fertilization, but the targeting preferences, mechanism,
and biological significance of this process remain unclear. Here, we show that
active DNA demethylation mediated by the DEMETER DNA glycosylase accounts for
all of the demethylation in the central cell and preferentially targets small,
AT-rich, and nucleosome-depleted euchromatic transposable elements. The vegetative
cell, the companion cell of sperm, also undergoes DEMETER-dependent demethylation
of similar sequences, and lack of DEMETER in vegetative cells causes reduced small
RNA–directed DNA methylation of transposons in sperm. Our results demonstrate
that demethylation in companion cells reinforces transposon methylation in plant
gametes and likely contributes to stable silencing of transposable elements across
generations.

text: The most well-studied function of DNA methylation in eukaryotic cells is the
transcriptional silencing of genes and transposons. More recent results showed
that many eukaryotes methylate the bodies of genes as well and that this methylation
correlates with transcriptional activity rather than repression. The purpose of
gene body methylation remains mysterious, but is potentially related to the histone
variant H2A.Z. Studies in plants and animals have shown that the genome-wide distributions
of H2A.Z and DNA methylation are strikingly anticorrelated. Furthermore, we and
other investigators have shown that this relationship is likely to be the result
of an ancient but unknown mechanism by which DNA methylation prevents the incorporation
of H2A.Z. Recently, we discovered strong correlations between the presence of
H2A.Z within gene bodies, the degree to which a gene's expression varies across
tissue types or environmental conditions, and transcriptional misregulation in
an h2a.z mutant. We propose that one basal function of gene body methylation is
the establishment of constitutive expression patterns within housekeeping genes
by excluding H2A.Z from their bodies.

text: Due to the omnipresent risk of epidemics, insect societies have evolved sophisticated
disease defences at the individual and colony level. An intriguing yet little
understood phenomenon is that social contact to pathogen-exposed individuals reduces
susceptibility of previously naive nestmates to this pathogen. We tested whether
such social immunisation in Lasius ants against the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium
anisopliae is based on active upregulation of the immune system of nestmates following
contact to an infectious individual or passive protection via transfer of immune
effectors among group members—that is, active versus passive immunisation. We
found no evidence for involvement of passive immunisation via transfer of antimicrobials
among colony members. Instead, intensive allogrooming behaviour between naive
and pathogen-exposed ants before fungal conidia firmly attached to their cuticle
suggested passage of the pathogen from the exposed individuals to their nestmates.
By tracing fluorescence-labelled conidia we indeed detected frequent pathogen
transfer to the nestmates, where they caused low-level infections as revealed
by growth of small numbers of fungal colony forming units from their dissected
body content. These infections rarely led to death, but instead promoted an enhanced
ability to inhibit fungal growth and an active upregulation of immune genes involved
in antifungal defences (defensin and prophenoloxidase, PPO). Contrarily, there
was no upregulation of the gene cathepsin L, which is associated with antibacterial
and antiviral defences, and we found no increased antibacterial activity of nestmates
of fungus-exposed ants. This indicates that social immunisation after fungal exposure
is specific, similar to recent findings for individual-level immune priming in
invertebrates. Epidemiological modeling further suggests that active social immunisation
is adaptive, as it leads to faster elimination of the disease and lower death
rates than passive immunisation. Interestingly, humans have also utilised the
protective effect of low-level infections to fight smallpox by intentional transfer
of low pathogen doses (“variolation” or “inoculation”).

text: Due to the omnipresent risk of epidemics, insect societies have evolved sophisticated
disease defences at the individual and colony level. An intriguing yet little
understood phenomenon is that social contact to pathogen-exposed individuals reduces
susceptibility of previously naive nestmates to this pathogen. We tested whether
such social immunisation in Lasius ants against the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium
anisopliae is based on active upregulation of the immune system of nestmates following
contact to an infectious individual or passive protection via transfer of immune
effectors among group members—that is, active versus passive immunisation. We
found no evidence for involvement of passive immunisation via transfer of antimicrobials
among colony members. Instead, intensive allogrooming behaviour between naive
and pathogen-exposed ants before fungal conidia firmly attached to their cuticle
suggested passage of the pathogen from the exposed individuals to their nestmates.
By tracing fluorescence-labelled conidia we indeed detected frequent pathogen
transfer to the nestmates, where they caused low-level infections as revealed
by growth of small numbers of fungal colony forming units from their dissected
body content. These infections rarely led to death, but instead promoted an enhanced
ability to inhibit fungal growth and an active upregulation of immune genes involved
in antifungal defences (defensin and prophenoloxidase, PPO). Contrarily, there
was no upregulation of the gene cathepsin L, which is associated with antibacterial
and antiviral defences, and we found no increased antibacterial activity of nestmates
of fungus-exposed ants. This indicates that social immunisation after fungal exposure
is specific, similar to recent findings for individual-level immune priming in
invertebrates. Epidemiological modeling further suggests that active social immunisation
is adaptive, as it leads to faster elimination of the disease and lower death
rates than passive immunisation. Interestingly, humans have also utilised the
protective effect of low-level infections to fight smallpox by intentional transfer
of low pathogen doses (“variolation” or “inoculation”).

text: 'We propose a two-step procedure for estimating multiple migration rates in
an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework, accounting for global nuisance
parameters. The approach is not limited to migration, but generally of interest
for inference problems with multiple parameters and a modular structure (e.g.
independent sets of demes or loci). We condition on a known, but complex demographic
model of a spatially subdivided population, motivated by the reintroduction of
Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) into Switzerland. In the first step, the global parameters
ancestral mutation rate and male mating skew have been estimated for the whole
population in Aeschbacher et al. (Genetics 2012; 192: 1027). In the second step,
we estimate in this study the migration rates independently for clusters of demes
putatively connected by migration. For large clusters (many migration rates),
ABC faces the problem of too many summary statistics. We therefore assess by simulation
if estimation per pair of demes is a valid alternative. We find that the trade-off
between reduced dimensionality for the pairwise estimation on the one hand and
lower accuracy due to the assumption of pairwise independence on the other depends
on the number of migration rates to be inferred: the accuracy of the pairwise
approach increases with the number of parameters, relative to the joint estimation
approach. To distinguish between low and zero migration, we perform ABC-type model
comparison between a model with migration and one without. Applying the approach
to microsatellite data from Alpine ibex, we find no evidence for substantial gene
flow via migration, except for one pair of demes in one direction.'

text: To fight infectious diseases, host immune defences are employed at multiple
levels. Sanitary behaviour, such as pathogen avoidance and removal, acts as a
first line of defence to prevent infection [1] before activation of the physiological
immune system. Insect societies have evolved a wide range of collective hygiene
measures and intensive health care towards pathogen-exposed group members [2].
One of the most common behaviours is allogrooming, in which nestmates remove infectious
particles from the body surfaces of exposed individuals [3]. Here we show that,
in invasive garden ants, grooming of fungus-exposed brood is effective beyond
the sheer mechanical removal of fungal conidiospores as it also includes chemical
disinfection through the application of poison produced by the ants themselves.
Formic acid is the main active component of the poison. It inhibits fungal growth
of conidiospores remaining on the brood surface after grooming and also those
collected in the mouth of the grooming ant. This dual function is achieved by
uptake of the poison droplet into the mouth through acidopore self-grooming and
subsequent application onto the infectious brood via brood grooming. This extraordinary
behaviour extends current understanding of grooming and the establishment of social
immunity in insect societies.
