  Fola, AA; Kattenberg, E; Razook, Z; Lautu-Gumal, D; Lee, S; Mehra, S; Bahlo, M; Kazura, J; Robinson, LJ; Laman, M; ... (BMC, 2020-10-20)

  BACKGROUND: Genomic surveillance of malaria parasite populations has the potential to inform control strategies and to monitor the impact of interventions. Barcodes comprising large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism ...

• Free-standing spider silk webs of the thomisid Saccodomus formivorus are made of composites comprising micro- and submicron fibers 

  Haynl, C; Vongsvivut, J; Mayer, KRH; Bargel, H; Neubauer, VJ; Tobin, MJ; Elgar, MA; Scheibel, T (NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-10-19)

  Our understanding of the extraordinary mechanical and physico-chemical properties of spider silk is largely confined to the fibers produced by orb-weaving spiders, despite the diversity of foraging webs that occur across ...
