Cell distribution and habitat fragmentation affecting the spread of plasmids in soil bacterial populations
(2019)Aims and Objectives. Transfer of conjugative plasmids among soil bacteria is an important evolutionary driver for fostering adaptation to environmental stresses such as antibiotic or xenobiotic contamination. However, plasmids impose a metabolic burden on host cells and the reason for their persistence over evolutionary times remains unclear. Here, we hypothesize that soil environments favor plasmid maintenance due to habitat fragmentation ...Conference Poster -

Gender differences in metacognitive calibration and response confidence
(2024)Female students are often underrepresented in natural science studies, contributing to the leaky pipeline persistence. Although several factors linked to gender have been shown to influence study choices, such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, there is a lack of research on gender-related differences in metacognitive calibration. In the present investigation, we examined gender differences in natural science undergraduate students’ ...Conference Poster -

A Monte Carlo Approach to the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in Multiferroic Hexagonal Manganites
(2017)For almost 60 years the family of hexagonal manganites RMnO3 (R = Sc, Y, In, Dy-Lu) has been one of the most studied classes of multiferroic compounds. But despite several experimental and theoretical efforts, the nature of the high temperature transition into the ferroelectric phase is still under debate. Experimental data give two contradicting answers to this problem. Some experiments indicate an immediate appearance of the polarization ...Conference Poster -
