In humans, testicular peritubular cells (TPCs) form a small compartment surrounding the seminiferous tubules and, as shown previously, undergo age-related changes. How they may contribute to the age-associated decline of testicular functions is not well known. Likewise, the mechanisms of testicular aging in humans are not well examined. This is in part due to the lack of appropriate cellular models. We aimed to establish an ag...
Small-scale coastal fisheries in the Mediterranean often employ gillnets, a widely used gear worldwide. The disadvantages of gillnets in this fishery include high bycatch levels of unwanted species and consequent discards. Moreover, spatial conflict with other gears and dolphin depredation often results in considerable economic loss. Alternative fishing methods are being tested. This study investigated whether, in small-scale...
Citizen science’s transformative impact on science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processesNARA Subscribed
Citizen science (CS) can foster transformative impact for science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes. To unleash this impact, a clearer understanding of its current status and challenges for its development is needed. Using quantitative indicators developed in a collaborative stakeholder process, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CS in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our onl...
Joint effects of climate, tree size, and year on annual tree growth derived from tree‐ring records of ten globally distributed forestsNARA Subscribed
Tree rings provide an invaluable long‐term record for understanding how climate and other drivers shape tree growth and forest productivity. However, conventional tree‐ring analysis methods were not designed to simultaneously test effects of climate, tree size, and other drivers on individual growth. This has limited the potential to test ecologically relevant hypotheses on tree growth sensitivity to environmental drivers and...
Genetic variations affecting the course of depressive symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have not yet been well studied. Therefore, we set out to investigate whether distinct haplotypes of the two insertion/deletion polymorphisms in the serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region ( 5-HTTLPR ) and the angiotensin I-converting enzyme ( ACE ) gene located on chromosome 17 can be identified as risk factors...
Effect of fish length and nutritional condition on the fecundity of distressed Atlantic cod Gadus morhua from the Baltic SeaNARA Subscribed
The disappearance of larger individuals and the decrease in individual body condition suffered by Atlantic cod Gadus morhua in the eastern Baltic during the past two decades can be expected to affect the stock reproductive output. To investigate this, female G. morhua were collected during the spawning and pre‐spawning period in 2015−2016. The current individual potential fecundity ( F P ) of eastern Baltic G. morhua was estim...
