Das bekannte 6-0xo-2,5-diphenyl-6H-l,3,4-oxadiazin (1 a) und die neuen 2,5-Diarylderivate 1 b - g lagern Alkene an, und es entstehen stickstofIfreie Produkte. Im Falle von Cyclopropenen und Cyclobuten bilden sich die a,p-ungesättigten Siebenring-Enollactone 42 -45 bzw. das a,ß-ungesättigte Achtring-Enollacton 47. 42a und d erleiden an basischem Aluminiumoxid die H-Verschiebung zu den ß,y-ungesättigten Siebenring-Enollactonen 46a bzw. d. Bei weiteren Olefinen wurden die 'Y-Ketoketene des Typs 33 als Zwischenprodukte nachgewiesen oder sind aufgrund der Konstitution der Endprodukte wahrscheinlich. Aus 1 a werden mit Norbomen, Norbornadien, Cyc1openten, trans-Cycloocten und Styrol die Sechsring-Enollactone 10, 13, 15, 19 bzw. 21 und 22 erhalten. 10 isomerisiert mit Kalium-tert-butoxid zu 34, und die Methanolyse dieser Enollactone erbringt die diastereomeren Methy]ester 12 bzw. 35. Das y-Ketoketen 16 aus trans-Cycloocten nimmt schneller Wasser und Methanol zu 17 bzw. 18 auf als es zum Enollacton 19 cyclisiert. cis,trans-l,5-Cyc1ooctadien erbringt über die Stufe des nachgewiesenen y-Ketoketens 40 in einer intramolekularen [2 + 2J-Cyc1oaddition den Tricyclus 41. Tetracyclische Verbindungen des Typs 4 gehen aus der Umsetzung von Benzvalen (2) mit 1 hervor. Durch Röntgenstrukturanalysen wurden Konstitution und Konfiguration von 10, 19 und 41 aufgeklärt

The 1-oxoketenes, which are accessible from methyl 1,3,4-oxadiazin-6-one-2-carboxyIate 1 and cycloalkenes, are shown to undergo an intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition either on heating or on photolysis to give different sterecisemers of ß-lactones of the 3-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[ 2.2.0]hexane-type.
The γ-oxoketenes, which are formed from oxadiazinone Ja and strained cyclopentene der1vat1ves, are shown to undergo a pericyclic ring enlargement to give the title compounds 2a, 2b, and 5. In the case of 5, two configurations, one having a cis and the other a trans Iactone functionality, are in equilibrium.
The factors determining gradients of biodiversity are a fundamental yet unresolved topic in ecology. While diversity gradients have been analysed for numerous single taxa, progress towards general explanatory models has been hampered by limitations in the phylogenetic coverage of past studies. By parallel sampling of 25 major plant and animal taxa along a 3.7 km elevational gradient on Mt. Kilimanjaro, we quantify cross-taxon consensus in diversity gradients and evaluate predictors of diversity from single taxa to a multi-taxa community level. While single taxa show complex distribution patterns and respond to different environmental factors, scaling up diversity to the community level leads to an unambiguous support for temperature as the main predictor of species richness in both plants and animals. Our findings illuminate the influence of taxonomic coverage for models of diversity gradients and point to the importance of temperature for diversification and species coexistence in plant and animal communities.
Background: Hybridization can have complex effects on evolutionary dynamics in ants because of the combination of haplodiploid sex-determination and eusociality. While hybrid non-reproductive workers have been found in a range of species, examples of gene-flow via hybrid queens and males are rare. We studied hybridization in East African army ants (Dorylus subgenus Anomma) using morphology, mitochondrial DNA sequences, and nuclear microsatellites. Results: While the mitochondrial phylogeny had a strong geographic signal, different species were not recovered as monophyletic. At our main study site at Kakamega Forest, a mitochondrial haplotype was shared between a “Dorylus molestus-like” and a “Dorylus wilverthi-like” form. This pattern is best explained by introgression following hybridization between D. molestus and D. wilverthi. Microsatellite data from workers showed that the two morphological forms correspond to two distinct genetic clusters, with a significant proportion of individuals being classified as hybrids. Conclusions: We conclude that hybridization and gene-flow between the two army ant species D. molestus and D. wilverthi has occurred, and that mating between the two forms continues to regularly produce hybrid workers. Hybridization is particularly surprising in army ants because workers have control over which males are allowed to mate with a young virgin queen inside the colony.
Prevalence of antibodies against influenza A and B viruses in children in Germany, 2008 to 2010
(2014)
The prevalence of influenza A and B virus-specific IgG was determined in sera taken between 2008 and 2010 from 1,665 children aged 0-17 years and 400 blood donors in Germany. ELISA on the basis of whole virus antigens was applied. Nearly all children aged nine years and older had antibodies against influenza A. In contrast, 40% of children aged 0-4 years did not have any influenza A virus-specific IgG antibodies. Eighty-six percent of 0-6 year-olds, 47% of 7-12 year-olds and 20% of 13-17 year-olds were serologically naive to influenza B viruses. By the age of 18 years, influenza B seroprevalence reached approximately 90%. There were obvious regional differences in the seroprevalence of influenza B in Germany. In conclusion, seroprevalences of influenza A and influenza B increase gradually during childhood. The majority of children older than eight years have basal immunity to influenza A, while comparable immunity against influenza B is only acquired at the age of 18 years. Children aged 0-6 years, showing an overall seroprevalence of 67% for influenza A and of 14% for influenza B, are especially at risk for primary infections during influenza B seasons.
Rare variants in at least 10 genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2, are associated with increased risk of breast cancer; however, these variants, in combination with common variants identified through genome-wide association studies, explain only a fraction of the familial aggregation of the disease. To identify further susceptibility genes, we performed a two-stage whole-exome sequencing study. In the discovery stage, samples from 1528 breast cancer cases enriched for breast cancer susceptibility and 3733 geographically matched unaffected controls were sequenced. Using five different filtering and gene prioritization strategies, 198 genes were selected for further validation. These genes, and a panel of 32 known or suspected breast cancer susceptibility genes, were assessed in a validation set of 6211 cases and 6019 controls for their association with risk of breast cancer overall, and by estrogen receptor (ER) disease subtypes, using gene burden tests applied to loss-of-function and rare missense variants. Twenty genes showed nominal evidence of association (p-value < 0.05) with either overall or subtype-specific breast cancer. Our study had the statistical power to detect susceptibility genes with effect sizes similar to ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2, however, it was underpowered to identify genes in which susceptibility variants are rarer or confer smaller effect sizes. Larger sample sizes would be required in order to identify such genes.
