Highly similar microbial communities are shared among related and trophically similar ant species.
Ants dominate many terrestrial ecosystems, yet we know little about their nutritional physiology and ecology. While traditionally viewed as predators and scavengers, recent isotopic studies revealed that many dominant ant species are functional herbivores. As with other insects with nitrogen-poor diets, it is hypothesized that these ants rely on symbiotic bacteria for nutritional supplementatio...
متن کاملA novel, highly efficient gene-cloning system for Micromonospora strains.
A highly efficient gene-cloning system for Micromonospora olivasterospora, a producer of the antibiotic fortimicin A (astromicin), suited to shotgun cloning has been developed. The system is supported by two new advancements accomplished in this study. One is the construction of novel plasmid vectors pMO116, pMO126, pMO133, pMO136, and pMO217, all consisting of replicons from newly found Microm...
متن کاملFingerprints for highly similar streams
We propose an approach for approximating the Jaccard similarity of two streams, J(A,B) = |A∩B| |A∪B| , for domains where this similarity is known to be high. Our method is based on a reduction from Jaccard similarity to F2 norm estimation, for which there exists a sketch that is efficient in terms of both size and compute time, which we augment by a sampling technique. Our approach offers an im...
متن کاملAsymmetric Learning and Dissimilarity Spaces for Content-Based Retrieval
This paper presents novel dissimilarity space specially designed for interactive multimedia retrieval. By providing queries made of positive and negative examples, the goal consists in learning the positive class distribution. This classification problem is known to be asymmetric, i.e. the negative class does not cluster in the original feature spaces. We introduce here the idea of Query-based ...
متن کاملComparing Dissimilarity Measures for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Dissimilarity measurement plays a crucial role in contentbased image retrieval, where data objects and queries are represented as vectors in high-dimensional content feature spaces. Given the large number of dissimilarity measures that exist in many fields, a crucial research question arises: Is there a dependency, if yes, what is the dependency, of a dissimilarity measure’s retrieval performan...
