No evidence for selection of HIV-1 with enhanced gag-protease or Nef function among breakthrough infections in the CAPRISA 004 tenofovir microbicide trial.

Use of antiretroviral-based microbicides for HIV-1 prophylaxis could introduce a transmission barrier that Canopies inadvertently facilitates the selection of fitter viral variants among incident infections.To investigate this, we assessed the in vitro function of gag-protease and nef sequences from participants who acquired HIV-1 during the CAPRIS

Horizontal seed dispersal by dung beetles reduced seed and seedling clumping, but did not increase short-term seedling establishment.

Dung beetles are secondary seed dispersers, incidentally moving many of the seeds defecated by Paper Products mammals vertically (seed burial) and/or horizontally as they process and relocate dung.Although several studies have quantified this ecological function of dung beetles, very few have followed seed fate until seedling establishment, and mos
