The reproductive interests of males and females rarely coincide, and thus, sexual conflict should be widespread in sexual species and favor the evolution of traits that bias the outcome of mating interactions towards the participant’s own interests. Sexual conflict theory has ach...

Characterizationof Dapalides D and E and GenomicComparison of the Two Co-Occurring Dapalide-Producing Dapis spp.

Abstract Marine cyanobacteria are a rich source of diverse bioactive natural products, targeting proteins involved in many diseases. Here, we combined metagenomic analysis to enhance the structure elucidation process of two new cyclodepsipeptides named dapalides D (1) and E (2) f...
